What are the safety requirements for machining equipment?

Jun 18,2020


  Regarding mechanical processing equipment, the safety requirements mainly include: requirements for the main structure, requirements for the control mechanism, requirements for protective installations, and requirements for inspection and maintenance. Since large-scale mechanical processing involves many aspects, today we will introduce part of it, focusing on the requirements for the main structure. This part contains many knowledge points, which will be categorized and introduced in detail below.

  Mechanical processing equipment must have sufficient strength, rigidity, stability, safety factor, and lifespan to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. Specifically, the materials used in mechanical processing equipment must meet safety and health requirements, and the use of materials harmful to the human body or those that have not undergone safety and health inspections is not allowed.

  The external shape of mechanical processing equipment should be as flat and smooth as possible, avoiding sharp corners and edges. Equipment in processing areas that are prone to accidents should take effective protective measures. Protective measures should ensure that the equipment prevents any part of the operator's body from entering the danger zone while in operation, or ensure that the equipment cannot operate (move) or can perform an emergency stop if entering the danger zone.

  For moving parts that are likely to cause accidents, they should be enclosed or shielded, or other protective measures should be taken to prevent operator contact. Based on the standing surface of the operator, all transmission installations with a height of 2m or less must be equipped with protective installations, while material transfer installations and belt transmission installations with a height of more than 2m should also be equipped with protective installations.
