Future Automation I-LSM-FP, fixed lid safety considerations

General Mitigations: • Implement a hold to run/ dead man switch operation. • Control methods should be located within direct line of site of the mechanism. • Implement password or key switch protected operation. I-LSM-FP INVERTED LIFT SYSTEM WITH FIXED PANEL General Mitigations: INTEGRATION CONSIDERATIONS • Implement a hold to run/dead man switch operation. • Control methods should be located within direct line of site of the mechanism. Low Risk - Cable Snagging Hazard • Implement password or key switch protected operation. Cables could be snagged if not properly managed through and around the mechanism, causing damage to the mechanism and electronics. Mitigation Cabinet Ensure all cables are run in suitable conduit/ trunking to prevent snagging with moving mechanism parts. Low Risk - Crush Hazard Crush hazard between the base panel and the cabinet as the mechanism opens. Mitigation Install a pressure switch above the base panel to detect any obstructions. A tape switch can be installed between two timber panels to allow the vertical movement required for switching. Keep all shadow gaps to a minimum (no smaller than 3mm Base panel [1/8”]) to reduce the risk of obstruction. Low Risk - Crush Hazard Crush hazard between the cabinet and the fixed panel as the mechanism closes. Mitigation Keep the gaps between the cabinet aperture and the moving panels to a minimum (no smaller than 3mm [1/8”]) to reduce the risk of obstruction. High Risk - Mechanism Damage Hazard Items left below the mechanism can be High Risk - Impact Hazard crushed and/or cause damage to the Impact hazard from the mechanism as it opens. mechanism as it opens. Mitigation Mitigation Fixed panel Ensure there is sufficient space beneath the base panel to Ensure the area below the mechanism is kept reduce the risk of impact. Install a light curtain in front clear at all times when operating. See also and behind the mechanism to create an exclusion zone. general mitigations. Install a pressure pad on any solid surfaces below the mechanism if sufficient space cannot be allocated. CONSIDERATIONS SHEET UK +44 (0) 1438 833577 US +1 (603) 742 9181 ISSUE 001 WWW NET . .
