Safety
Operating conditions
The conveyor, subsequently referred to as the machine, is an incomplete
machine as defined by the EC Machinery Directive. The machine has been
manufactured in keeping with current scientific and technological develop-
ments.
Nevertheless, there may be dangers arising from the machine under the
following circumstances:
 Use other than for its intended purpose
 Improper use
 Impermissible operating conditions
 Failure to follow these instructions
 Failure to comply with the general safety regulations during transport and
installation
Intended Use
The machine illustrated on the front page is approved solely for the purpose
of transporting unit loads corresponding to requirements defined in the
performance specification and is intended to be integrated in a fully auto-
matic intralogistic system with a master controller.
Use other than or use that goes beyond that specified is deemed as not for
its intended purpose and is therefore prohibited.
Never use the machine to transport persons.
It may only be used in a protected industrial environment with restricted
access.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage arising from improper use
of the machine.

Operating instructions: Curve belt conveyor TS 1600-90 Helix
Version 1.1ENG, 06.05.2013
Impermissible operating conditions
Do not operate the machine under the following conditions:
 When there are people or objects in the hazardous areas
 If safety devices are not working or have been removed
 If the machine is malfunctioning or damaged
 If maintenance intervals have been exceeded
 If operating parameters have been changed without authorisation
Responsibilities of the operating company / integrator
Machine safety can only be guaranteed when all necessary measures have
been implemented.
The operating company / integrator is responsible for planning and imple-
menting appropriate measures.
These instructions are part of the machine. When selling the machine, the
operating company must pass on this document to the buyer.
The operating company / integrator of the machine is responsible for its
safety. This applies especially to:
 The installation as a complete machine with functioning and compliant
safety devices.
 The incorporation of the machine in such a way that no additional danger
/ hazards are created.
 The safety of all persons in the vicinity of the machine.
 Trouble-free operation of the machine.
Minimising the danger of injury
Take steps to guarantee the safety of persons in the vicinity of the machine,
for example:
 Ensure that all work on the machine is carried out by qualified and
authorised personnel.
 Make sure all operators are familiar with the safety equipment.
 Ensure that the machine and its surroundings are always tidy and clean.
 Provide safety equipment for operating personnel.
Make sure the protective clothing is worn.
 Provide instructions on how to proceed and behave in the case of acci-
dents and emergencies.
 Define issues relating to occupational health and safety as well as envi-
ronmental protection.

Safety
Operating conditions

Trouble-free operation of the machine
Implement the following measures to ensure trouble-free operation of the
machine:
 Ensure that these instructions are complete, in legible condition and
accessible to all personnel at all times.
 Only operate the machine when it is fully functional.
 Check the operability of the machine and the safety equipment regularly.
System layout
Observe the following basic safety principles when connecting several sepa-
rate components to form an overall system:
 Install guards in areas of pulleys, apex bends, roller arches, conveyor
gates and transfer drives.
 In the vicinity of a transfer drive or a conveyor gate, the belt must have
the same speed or run faster in the outfeed area than in the infeed area.
 The national safety regulations valid in the country of use as well as
additional sector-specific requirements shall apply.
Commissioning
This conveyor system is "partly completed" machinery as defined in the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Article 2g. Intralogistic functionality can
only be achieved through the use of a corresponding control system and if
necessary other (partly completed) machinery. It must not be commissioned
until it has been ascertained that the partly completed machinery which is
the subject of this documentation or the machinery into which it is incorpo-
rated comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.

Protective devices 19
Protective devices
Various protective devices are installed on the machine to prevent limbs
being drawn in and crushed. These devices are listed below.
It is expressly prohibited to render unserviceable, bypass or remove protec-
tive devices. These devices may only be taken off temporarily during mainte-
nance or repair work.
If the purchasing contract specifies that certain protective devices are not
included in the scope of delivery, the operating company/integrator must
assess the potential dangers in accordance with the Machinery Directive.
Refer to the maintenance schedule in the section "Maintenance and care“ for
