2.6 NECESSARY SPACE
The necessary space for using and maintaining the machine can be deduced from the dimensions
of the machine itself and from the need to load pallets. Under normal usage and maintenance
conditions it should therefore be possible to operate comfortably, without any obstacles to
accessing the machine, in any of its parts.
2.7 ELECTRICAL TOLERANCES OF THE MACHINE
Working voltage: the electrical equipment is designed to operate a nominal voltage of 24 V DC.
Any variations will compromise the life of the electrical equipment. If variations larger than the
standard values are foreseen, please contact the machine Builder.
2.8 POWER EQUIPMENT
The label with the power equipment data is located in a readable position. On it there are written
the builder’s name, the symbol CE, the serial number, the supply voltage and the absorbed power
data, in accordance with regulations currently in force.
2.9 ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT
The machine can run in a correct way both in an industrial and in a residential electromagnetic
environment. The conformity is guaranteed by the implementation of the Harmonized Technical
Norms.
IGM EN_REV4 16

2.10 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The machine is designed to operate in indoor environments, with limited exposure to dust and
humidity and in an environment with a temperature ranging between 5°C and 40°C.
The machine can work in environments in temperatures less than 5°C or higher than 40°C only if
equipped with specific heating or cooling kits.
Environmental conditions different from those prescribed may cause breaking and malfunction.
Should environmental conditions be very variable, special measures will have to be agreed with
the Builder.
The machine is not designed to operate in explosive atmospheres. It is therefore forbidden to
use the machine in explosive atmospheres.
The machine has to be installed within a building with a strong and well-levelled flooring. The
building lighting has to comply with the laws in force in the country in which the machine is installed
and, in any case, it has to ensure adequate visibility on the whole working area that is also used for
the handling of products.
2.11 SOUND EMISSIONS
After examining the values of Leq during a test with the machine complete with all its components
and placed in an environment without any other sources of noise, the Continuous and Equivalent
Level of sound pressure considered in scale “A” [Leq in dB(A)] at the distance of 1 m when the
machine is operating will never be higher than 76 dB(A), as shown in the proof conditions.
The noise values indicated are emission levels and are not necessarily safe operation levels.
Although there is a relation between emission and exposure levels, it is not possible to use this
relation in a reliable way in order to determine whether other precautions are necessary. The
factors which determine the exposure level of the manpower include the duration of the exposure,
the features of the working place and other sources of noise (number of machines, contiguous
processes, etc.).
Furthermore, the allowed exposure levels can change from country to country.
In any case the information included will help the operator to evaluate any dangers and risks in a
more precise way.
2.12 VIBRATIONS
If the machine is used according to the instructions for a correct use, the vibrations cannot cause
any dangerous situations.
2.13 GAS, DUST AND FUME EMISSIONS
If the machine is used according to the instructions for a correct use, there are no gas, dust or
fume emissions, nor emissions of dangerous substances.

due to moving parts and voltage presence. The following protection devices are installed:
-emergency pushbutton on control panel: If it is pressed, all the actuators immediately stop;
-safety limit switches on the flexible band unit: It intervenes when an the machine hits an
obstacle. By intervening it stops the machine’s movement.
-optional limit switch on pre-stretch carriage door, it intervenes only when the machine is
running if the carriage door opens. By intervening it stops the machine in the shortest possible
time.
IGM EN_REV4 19

3.3 PROTECTIONS AND FIXED REPAIRS
During designing, a solution has been adopted to prevent / limit the access to dangerous zones of
the machine: a series of screw-fixed guards, completely preventing the access to the machine’s
internal parts.
Due to the fixing systems of the guards, tools are needed to open or remove them.
Only remove fixed guards during maintenance operations and while the machine is
disconnected from the power supply.
Never remove the pictograms from the guards, and immediately replace them if they are
faded or not easily readable.
Never remove fixed guards while the machine is operating.
Never start the machine if any fixed guard is missing. Before starting the machine, make
sure that fixed repairs are properly installed.
Never modify or replace fixed repairs with repairs in other materials, or with a different form
or function.
