The Requirements of Mechanical Guard
1、The safety protection device shall be simple in structure, and reasonable in layout, and there are no sharp edges or protrusions.
2、People should consider the reliability of the safety protection device. And it should have the characteristics of corresponding rigidity, hardness, stability, corrosion resistance, flexibility etc.
3、The safety protection device should be interlocked with the running parts. When the safety protection device doesn’t work, the machinery cannot operate either. In the meantime, the structural spacing of the protective device should comply with relevant regulations.
4、The fault self-alarm system should be set up the photoelectric, inductive safety devices
5、The emergency switch should ensure that it can stop all the operation of the machine when the instantaneous action is begin.
6、Meet the requirements of safe distance, so that all parts of the human body (especially hands or feet) cannot touch the risk.
7、 Does not affect normal operation. Also, it shall not be in contact with any movable parts of the machinery. And there is the minimum obstacle to human vision.
8、Easy to inspect and repair.
Common guards
According to the characteristics of mechanical equipment, we will adopt the specific safety protection devices. According to their functions, there are isolation protection devices, interlocking control protection devices, emergency braking protection devices, abnormal alarm protection devices, etc.
Safety fence is the most common safety protection device. Its function is to physically isolate mechanical equipment, prevent people from accidentally entering the dangerous area, and ensure safe operation.
Mechanical safety cannot be underestimated, and people should not take chances. We should not only strengthen the study of relevant knowledge, but also integrate theory into practice and implement it in our daily work to work safely and live safely.
