Safety
Operating conditions
The conveyor, hereinafter 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.

However, the machine may pose risks under the following circumstances:
 Any use other than that intended
 Improper operation
 Non-permitted 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
service specifications and is intended to be integrated in a fully automatic
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.

Safety16
Operating instructions: Aligning/Centring conveyor TS 2920/30/50
Version 1.4 ENG, 24.01.2019
Non-permitted operating conditions
Operation of the machine is prohibited under the following circumstances:
 There are people or objects in the hazardous areas
 Safety devices are not working or have been removed
 If the machine is malfunctioning or damaged
 Maintenance intervals have been exceeded
 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 an integral 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:
 Installation as a complete machine with functioning and compliant safety
devices.
 Integration 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.
 Fault-free operation of the machine.

Safety17
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.
 Ensure that at least two people carry out any maintenance and repair
work.
 Make sure all operators are familiar with the safety devices.
 Ensure that the machine and its environment are kept clean and tidy at
all times.
 Provide all personnel with protective equipment, such as suitable safety
footwear (S1), close-fitting clothing and gloves to protect against
mechanical dangers.
Make sure the protective clothing is worn.
 Provide instructions on how to proceed or act in the event of malfunc-
tions.
 Clarify any issues relating to occupational health and safety as well as
environmental protection.
Operating the machine fault-free 
Implement the following measures to ensure fault-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 fully functional and in perfect working
order.
 Regularly check the machine and its safety equipment are functioning
correctly.
Implement installation layout 
Observe the following basic safety principles when connecting several sepa-
rate components to form an overall system:
 Install guards in areas where there are tail pulley assembles, apex
bends, roller arches, conveyor gates, pre-conveyors and transfer drives.
 In any area where there is a transfer drive or conveyor gate, the
conveyor belt must have the same speed or run faster in the outfeed
section than in the infeed section.
 The national safety regulations valid in the country of the user as well as
additional branch-specific regulations must be observed.

Commissioning 
This conveyor system is a "partly completed" machine, as defined by the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC,Article 2g.
This partly completed machine may only carry out an intralogistic function
when combined with an appropriate control system and, where applicable,
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 incorporated comply with
the requirements of the Machinery Directive.

Safety
Personnel qualification 19
Personnel qualification
Installation, maintenance and repair work as well as commissioning demand
specialist know-how and qualification of the personnel above and beyond
that required for normal operation.
We recommend that you work only with technical personnel trained and
authorised by TRANSNORM SYSTEM GmbH.
All persons working at or on the machine must:
 be suitable and sufficiently qualified to carry out the work required.
 have received instruction on handling the machine and be familiar with
the protective devices .
 have read and understood these operating instructions and especially
the relevant sections relating to their work.
 be familiar with basic occupational health and safety and accident
prevention regulations, and with sector-specific regulations.
In these instructions, a distinction is made between the following groups of
personnel:
The following work is to be carried out by specialised personnel only:
Definition of the personnel groups

Remaining risks regarding the machine
The machine's protective devices offer protection against injury.
For some tasks, however, personnel are required to enter the danger zone.
Therefore, an element of risk always remains.
Remaining risks for operating personnel
The following table will enable operating personnel to identify and avoid
fundamental dangers and hazards. Professional conduct and implementation
of the corresponding measures will help prevent any remaining risks in
advance.
Work requiring specialised knowledge
Work on Specialised knowledge
Pneumatic
components Such work may only be carried out by personnel with specialised knowledge of and experience in handling pneumatic systems.
