Sources of Danger at Labeler
Fig. 2-1: Sources of Danger at Labeler
The arising forces at the Tamp at Legi-Air 4050E with addition CC (s. name plate) are
limited to 50 Newton for both movements of the stroke, which may be potential risks of
injury to persons classified as low (usually reversible). Therefore additional protection
measures (e.g. safety guards, protective cabinet…) are not required. The limitation of the
Tamp force to 50 Newton is realized by flow control valves of the internal pneumatic
circuit.
A manipulation of the regulator valves may lead to the removal of the conformity
with regard to the CE-Declaration.
Fig. 2-2: Warning Labels in
System
A change of the regulator valve adjustment may only be carried
out by authorized personnel.
In case of tamp force of more than 50N, further protection
measures are required (see above).
Labeler without limiting the tamp force to 50N (Legi-Air 4050E-NC…)
Following labelers without limitation of the tamp force to 50N, require additional
safe guards for safe operation according to Machinery Directive:
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- LN (Linear Stroke)
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- RO90 (90° Rotating Tamp)
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- SW90 (90° Swing Tamp)
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- TP (Tandem Pusher)
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- XRA (Belt Applicator)
¥Legi-Air 4050E -NC- TW (Twisting Tamp)
By canceling the limited maximum force to 50 Newton safe operation of above listed
labelers is only permitted by an additional safe guard including the compressed air switch
off (see page 21).
