As such, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to t
30、he standard. This standard is a revision of American National Standard for Plastics Machinery Robots Used with Horizontal Injection Molding Machines Safety Requirements for the Integration, Care, and Use, ANSI/SPI B151.27-2003. This revision is intended to provide greater clarity and to update requi
31、rements to reflect changes in technology. Directly and materially affected parties who are interested in participating as a member of the American National Standard consensus body for this standard are requested to contact The Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc., 1667 K Street NW, Suite 1000, Was
32、hington, DC 20006. Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome at the same address. The project on Safety Requirements for Injection Molding Machines was initiated under the Robot Safety Section of the Equipment Council (formerly the Machinery Division), and the Safety Committee of
33、the Processors Council (formerly the Molders Division), of the Society of the Plastics Industry, Inc (SPI). Both councils of the SPI have long been concerned with operator safety on plastics processing equipment. Accordingly, the councils have established a single Robot Safety Committee charged with
34、 the task of establishing necessary standards. A standard addressing the integration, care, and use of robots used with injection molding machines is complicated by the variety and sizes of machines and robots manufactured and in use and by virtually infinite combinations of parts being produced, pr
35、oduction methods used, and operating conditions existing in industry today. The primary objective of this standard is to minimize hazards associated with machine and robot activity by establishing requirements for the integration, care, and use of these machines. To accomplish this objective, the co
36、mmittee decided to approach the problem of integration safety from three different directions: eliminate recognized hazards by design criteria; establish standard approaches to design so that robot integration from competitive suppliers will have similar operational characteristics; safeguard the po
37、int of operation to protect the operator from recognized hazards. To assist in the interpretation of these requirements, responsibilities have been assigned to the supplier, the remanufacturer, the modifier, and the user. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/SPI B151.27-2013 vii Effective Date The follow
38、ing information on effective dates is informative guidance only, and not a normative part of this standard. This committee recognizes that some period of time after the approval date on the title page of this document is necessary for suppliers and users to develop new designs, or modify existing de
39、signs or manufacturing processes in order to incorporate the new or revised requirements of this standard into their product development or production system. This committee recommends that suppliers complete and implement design changes for new machines and machinery systems within 18 months of the
40、 approval of this standard. The committee recommends that users evaluate whether existing machinery and machinery systems have acceptable risk within 18 months of the approval date of this standard using generally recognized risk assessment methods. If the risk assessment shows that modification(s)
41、is necessary, refer to the requirements of this standard or the machine-specific (type-C) standard to implement risk reduction measures (protective measures) for appropriate risk reduction. Consensus for adoption of the 2013 edition of this standard and approval of the revision of this standard was
42、achieved by use of the Canvass Method. At the time this standard was revised, the Robot Safety Committee of the Society of Plastics Industry, Inc., which is responsible for this standard, had the following members: D.

Toth, Rockwell Automation AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/SPI B151.27-2013 viii American National Standards Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements and procedures for due process, consensus, and other criteria for appr
45、oval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily
46、 unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or n
47、ot, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person
48、shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTION: The A
49、merican National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute.
