A Gdel device is only used to bring objects to a
specific position, hold them there or to move
simultaneously with other machine movements.
No hazardous (e.g. poisonous or explosive) objects
may be moved. A Gdel device may not be
operated in a potentially explosive area. The
ambient temperature during operation must be
between 12and 40 C.

General problems in the drive train
Person is surprised by vertical movement and injured as a result. x x 20 3/d
The areas of movement must be secured
so that neither operating personnel nor
third parties can reach or walk into the
hazardous locations where automatic
movements are performed.
The areas of movement must be enclosed by light grids,
light curtains as well as mechanical safety fences so that
it is impossible to enter this area from any direction.
There must be door elements or light curtains that allow
entry into the danger area or to a portion of the danger
area.
The height of the safety fences is described in EN ISO
13857.
Safety shutdown situation:
The vacuum system remains active in a de-energized
state.
Door elements: when opening the danger area, a safety
shutdown is performed for at least the drives that pose a
hazard in this area.
The door elements are also locked electromechanically.
Light barriers: these are to be monitored so that when
contact is broken, at least the drives that pose a hazard
in this area are shutdown. The distance between the
source of the danger and the light barriers is described
in EN 999 Art. 6.
In normal operation, all protective hoods
must be closed, removable protective hoods
must be screwed securely.
Required behavior:
Inspect the protective hoods before starting
normal operation.
Safety shutdown situation: do not walk
under suspended workpieces and Z-axes.

Person is surprised by the automation, body parts are crushed and
injuries result.
x x 20 3/d
It must be ensured that neither operating
personnel nor third parties are injured
during manual insertion and ejection of the
workpieces.
Insertion or ejection axes may only be moved in jog
mode or with two-hand operation. The drive
configuration is such that at the maximum speed of the
drive motor only a slow axis speed is achieved. The
operating elements for insertion and ejection must be
configured so that the operator has a clear view onto
the movement and cannot be endangered. Areas where
body parts could be crushed are to be prevented with
design measures to the greatest possible extent.
Extra attention is required of the operator at
manual workstations.
Only perform movements if no other person
is in the danger area and none of your own
body parts are in the line of danger of the
corresponding axis

It must be ensured that neither operating
personnel nor third parties are injured by
parts that become loose and fly off.
Mechanical guards must be placed in the possible flight
path of parts that could fly off.
Safety devices are inspected using calculations and
trials.
In normal operation, all protective hoods
must be closed, removable protective hoods
must be screwed securely.

It must be ensured that neither operating
personnel nor third parties are injured by
direct or indirect electrical contact.
Only contact-protected components are to be used.
Before working on electrical installations, always
disconnect the system (plug/main switch) and
double check.

The effects of a power failure must not be
dangerous for the operator or for third
parties.
The movement of the drives is mechanically limited
in case the supply voltage fails (mechanical stops
and holding brakes).
The movement of the drives is braked if the supply
voltage fails
The operator and third parties are outside the danger
area.
After a crash, defective elements of the
mechanical stops cannot necessarily be
recognized immediately. The entire bumper
unit must always be replaced.

must not be dangerous for the operator or
for third parties.
The areas of movement are to be encompassed by
mechanical safety fences and light curtains and light
grids so that it is not possible to enter this area from any
side.
Movements must transition to static states as quickly as
possible.
In normal operation, all protective hoods
must be closed, removable protective hoods
must be screwed securely.

It must be ensured that an expected start
of moving parts is prevented.
A start-up of the plant without the permissive button
being pressed must be prevented.
With the permission device pressed, moving plant parts
can be moved in a controlled manner, even if the plant
is unsecured.
When the permissive button is pressed, it must not be
possible for the operator to be endangered by an
automatic movement triggered by a third party.
Do not walk under suspended workpieces
and
Z-axes.
In confirmation mode, the operator must pay
great attention and have a high level of
individual responsibility.

When the permissive button is pressed, it
must not be possible for the operator to be
endangered by an automatic movement
triggered by a third party.
Axes can only be moved individually by one two-hand
operating device in jog mode. For multiple carriages on
one gantry, the individual carriages must be selected
using a key switch. The permissive button is a "shock
button".
For the permissive button to be activated, only one
safety door may be open and the others must be closed
and reset. Safety-relevant parts of the control are
inspected in appropriate time intervals by the machine
control system.
In confirmation mode, the operator must pay
great attention and have a high level of
individual responsibility. Only perform
movements if no other person is in the
danger area and none of your own body
parts are in the line of danger of the
corresponding axis.

Person is surprised by unexpected situation and injured as a result. x x 10 3/d
It must be ensured that no persons can be
endangered by Z-axes, telescopic axes
and workpieces that fall down when the
permissive button is not pressed.
Grippers must remain in the de-energized state in the
clamp position.
For very frequent set-up under Z-axes, Z-axes can be
secured redundantly with an additional brake on the
pinion and the motor brake.
Telescopic axes: and load balancing cylinders: Special
attention is required here. The axis (for a telescopic
axis, the 2nd stage) is to be secured with a mechanism.
Operation in setup mode only when the safety area is
closed off.
Do not walk under suspended workpieces or
Z-axes. Take especial care with telescopic
axes. Inspect belts before every setup
procedure for cracks and tears.

The axes can only be moved with reduced speed.
Rotating parts must be shut down securely.
Work in this mode requires a high level of
individual responsibility from the operator.
Only perform movements if no other person
is in the danger area and none of your own
body parts are in the line of danger of the
corresponding axis.
x J
1.16 x x Disruption of the energy supply Setters Power failure, lightning Person is surprised by unexpected situation and injured as a result.
The effects of a power failure must not be
dangerous for the operator or for third
parties.
The movement of the drives is limited by
mechanical stops in case the supply voltage fails.
The drives have already been switched off in case of a
power failure (safety shutdown situation). The
movement of the drives is braked in case of supply
voltage failure by the motor brake or holding brake in
the drive train.
After a crash, defective elements of the
mechanical stops cannot necessarily be
recognized immediately. The entire bumper
unit must always be replaced.
x J
1.17 x Malfunction of the control system Setters Failure of control unit components Person is surprised by unexpected movement and injured as a result. x x 10 3/d
The risk of possible hazard must be kept as
low as possible.
Only drive systems are used. They comply with the state
of the art and the standards referenced in the machine
directives.
Work in this mode requires a high level of
individual responsibility from the operator.
There is no way to completely ensure that a
malfunction of the control system does not
create a dangerous situation by moving the
axes.
The operator must therefore try to never be
in the possible direction of travel of the axes
and ensure that no third parties are in the
possible danger zones.

Protective measures (comments):
The suggested solutions printed in italics are binding suggestions for achieving CE conformity.
We point out, however, that before commissioning of the plant, suitable protective measures must be implemented for all hazards to ensure CE-compliant use of the Gdel
devices. According to the CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, these suitable protective measures, including all modifications, must comply with the "state of the art" and
ensure the necessary safety category. If not all protective measures are implemented for any reason, or if any protective measures supplied and/or installed by Gdel have
been been modified or not installed, Gdel will not commission the plant and will not assume liability or provide a warranty relating to any resulting events.
