Scope

This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for four-sided moulding machines, capable of continuous production use, with a maximum working width of 350 mm and a maximum speed of the integrated workpiece feed of 200 m/min, hereinafter referred to also as “machines”, designed to cut solid wood and materials with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2026, 3.2).

This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, listed in Annex A, relevant to the machines when used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable, as well as when transported, assembled, adjusted, maintened, dismanted, disabled and scrapped.

This document is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices or additional working units, whose hazards have been dealt with:

— universal spindle;

— glass bead saw unit;

— fixed or movable workpiece support;

— quick tool changing system;

— laser marking unit;

— automatic workpiece returner;

— in-feed hopper;

— loading magazine;

— unloading table.

This document does not deal with any hazards related to:

— in-feed devices other than in-feed hopper and loading magazine;

Note 1 For mechanical in-feed devices which also prevent access to the in-feed opening, see 6.6.4.

— out-feed devices other than unloading table, except for hazards related to ejection from the machine due to climb cutting;

— out-feed of workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 80 m/min;Note 2 Machines with feed speed higher than 80 m/min are usually combined with mechanical unloading and workpiece transfer systems.

— machines being used in combination with any other machine (as part of a line).

This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to its publication.
