10、(This foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/SPI B151.2-1999.)This standard is a revision of American National Standard for Plastic Film CastingMachinery - Manufacture, Care and Use, ANSI B151.2-1982.The standard was revised because:1) The scope needed to be expanded and the titles
11、modified2) Some illustrations required modification to conform to the text and some illus-trations were deleted to permit design freedom3) Additional definitions were required4) Some paragraphs required modification and some paragraphs were added toconform more closely to changes in technology5) Som
12、e paragraphs required modification for clarity and intentA standard treating the manufacture, care and use of web handling machines is com-plicated by the wide variety and sizes of machines manufactured and in use, and bythe virtually infinite combinations of parts being produced, production methods
13、 beingused, and operating conditions existing in industry today.The primary objective of this standard is to minimize hazards to personnel associatedwith machine activity by establishing requirements for the manufacture, care and useof these machines. To accomplish this objective a decision was made
14、 to approachthe problem of machine safety as follows:1) Eliminate by design certain recognized hazards and establish standard ap-proaches to design, so that machines available from competitive manufacturerswill have similar operational characteristics2) Safeguard the machine where recognized hazards
15、 cannot be designed out fortechnical or operational reasons3) Warn where elimination or safeguarding of hazards is not technically or opera-tionally feasibleTo assist in the interpretation of these requirements, responsibilities have been as-signed to the manufacturer, re-manufacturer, the modifier,
16、 and the employer.Recognizing the impossibility of updating equipment and changing operation meth-ods allied with existing machines immediately after the approval date of this stan-dard, a 3-year period has been provided to employers for updating machines.Recognizing the impossibility of immediate u
17、pdating of design and manufacturingmethods, 4 and 6 shall become effective one year after the approval date of this stan-dard.Evidence of consensus on this standard was secured by use of the Canvass Method.Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sentto The Societ

In addition,a
33、n operational inspection should be made of allsafety interlocks and emergency stop devices.Each manufacturer, modifier or remanufacturershould have a recommended preventivemaintenance program for the Machinery. Thisprogram can be used as a basis for periodicoperational inspections and maintenance. I
34、n theabsence of such program, the employer shouldfulfill this requirement.ANSI/SPI B151.2-199975. Manufacture, Remanufacture, andModification5.1 Responsibility5.1.1 ManufactureThe manufacture of new Machinery shall be inaccordance with clauses 5 and 7 of thisstandard.5.1.2 RemanufactureThe remanufac
35、ture of existing Machinery shallbe in accordance with clauses 5 and 7 of thisstandard.5.1.3 ModificationModification(s) made to existing Machineryshall be in accordance with clause 7 and theapplicable parts of clause 5 of this standard.Any modification shall not reduce the level ofsafety existing on
36、 the machine prior to thatmodification.5.1.4 RepairRepair shall not reduce the level of safety ofthe Machine.5.2 Guarding, General5.2.1 Access OpeningsHazardous areas that are accessible shall beguarded. When the guard is not fixed, it shallbe interlocked to stop hazardous motionexposed by moving or
37、 removing the guard.Where safeguarding of hazards is nottechnically or operationally feasible, thesehazardous areas shall be color-coded.5.2.2 Rotating Shaft ExtensionRotating shaft extensions shall be smooth andshall not project more than one-half of thediameter of the shaft unless guarded. Smoothr
38、oll journals fitted with rotary joints and pipingand presenting no significant hazard areexcepted from these requirements.E5.2.1 Access OpeningsExamples of hazardous areas may include butare not limited to moving or rotating motor-drivenparts such as gears, sheaves, belts, chains,shafts, drive coupl

A means shall be provided to preventunintentional movement during thread-up,blade change or other
40、 adjustment. Bladeholders shall be color-coded and a safety signshall be provided.5.3 Guarding, Nips5.3.1 Counter-Rotating NipsThe inrunning side of the counter-rotatingnips within the operators reach point shall beguarded to prevent a person form beingcaught in the nips and shall have anEmergency S
41、top Device readily accessible tothat person. The guard shall not form awedging nip.5.3.1.1 Inrunning Nips with Associated FlatDiesProcess considerations require access to thenip area. A flat die and/or its extensionstypically blocks access to the nip andprovides the guarding function. Whenblocking a
42、ccess to the nip, the flat die maycreate a wedging nip, which is not technicallyor operationally feasible to guard.Where a die narrower than the nip rolls fails toguard the outside face of the nip, dieextensions, deckles, or similar structuresshall be provided to achieve the sameguarding function.Sa

The control circuitsshall be designed such that
46、 to close the nipsan alarm of a duration of 3 seconds is active.From the moment of actuation of the alarm, atleast 3 seconds shall elapse before the nipcan be closed. The nip shall close within 12seconds of termination of the local preclosealarm.Exception: If the nip created by the closingrolls is i
47、n full view of the roll close controldevice, the rolls may be opened and reclosedwithin a period of 5 seconds without the localpreclose alarm; however, the alarm shall beactivated from the time the rolls are openeduntil they close.5.3.1.4 Emergency ConditionsActivation of the Emergency Stop Device s

49、terlocked toprevent closing of the nip when the guard isnot in place and shall open the nip if the guardis withdrawn from its effective position.Closing of the guard shall not of itself causethe nip rolls to close. Rotation of the nip rollsis permitted with the nip open independent ofguarding.5.3.1.6 Nip-Powered Moveable GuardsNip-powered moveable guards within theoperators reach point which form a pinchpoint when the guard is closing, shall complywith 5.3.1.3.E5.3.1.3 Roll ClosingAfter 3 seconds have elapsed, the closing of thenip must take place within the next 12 seconds.Otherwise,
