What is ISO 19085-14- Four-sided moulding machines about?
ISO 19085-14 gives the safety requirements and measures for four-sided moulding machines, capable of continuous production use, with a maximum working width of 350 mm and a maximum speed of the integrated workpiece feed of 200 m/min, hereinafter referred to as “machines”, designed to cut solid wood and materials with similar physical characteristics to wood.
ISO 19085-14 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and events relevant to the machines, when operated, adjusted, and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Also, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling, and scrapping phases are taken into account.
Note 1: ISO 19085-14 does not deal with any hazards related to:
- In-feed devices other than in-feed hopper and loading magazine;
Note 2: For mechanical in-feed devices which also prevent access to the in-feed opening
- Out-feed devices other than unloading table, except for hazards related to ejection from the machine due to climb cutting
- Out-feed of workpieces on machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min
Note 3: Machines with feed speed higher than 60 m/min are usually combined with mechanical unloading and workpiece transfer systems
- Machines being used in combination with any other machine
Note 4: ISO 19085-14 is not applicable to machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere and to machines manufactured prior to its publication.
Who is ISO 19085-14 -Four-sided moulding machines for?
19085-14 on the safety of four-sided moulding machines is beneficial for:
- Machine woodworkers, builders, masons, artisans, and laborers
- Woodworking machine setters, operators, and tenders
- Wood craftsmen
- Carpenters
- Structural engineers
- Manufacturers and suppliers of four-sided moulding machines
Why should you use ISO 19085-14- Four-sided moulding machines?
Four-sided moulding machines are woodworking machines with 4 spindles in a row for the four-sided processing of workpieces through planning. The workpieces are guided by feed rollers along with the milling spindles.
ISO 19085-14 is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the market players with regard to machinery safety:
- Machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises)
- Health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organizations, market surveillance, etc.)
ISO 19085-14 provides technical safety requirements for the design and construction of woodworking machinery. ISO 19085-14 concerns designers, manufacturers, suppliers, and importers of the machines. ISO 19085-14 includes a list of informative items to be provided to the user by the manufacturer.
ISO 19085-14 is applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following additional working units, whose hazards have been dealt with:
- Universal spindle
- Glass bead saw unit
- Fixed or movable workpiece support
- Glass bead saw unit
- Quick tool changing system
- Laser marking unit
- Automatic workpiece returner
- In-feed hopper
- Loading magazine
- Unloading table
