Safety

1.3.1

General

The operator of the TSC 2013 torch cleaner is responsible for the proper setting-up, installation
and use of the unit, as specified by the manufacturer. The standards and safety regulations of the
country concerned must be complied with.
The operator of the TSC 2013 bears responsibility for the safety precautions for personnel who
work with the system or are in its vicinity.
The TSC 2013 is generally integrated into a welding robot system and connected to this by electric
wiring.
Safety instructions for standing in the working range of an industrial robot must be strictly complied
with.
The system must only be put to use for the first time by appropriately trained personnel. The sys-
tem must not put to use until it has been established that it is ready for use and meets the require-
ments of the European Community's Machinery Directive.
Persons must only remain in the working range of the robot for as long as is necessary.
1.3.2

Sources of danger

The TSC 2013 is installed in the working range of the industrial robot. Robots have a very high
diversity of movement and operate with high accelerations. In automatic operation the robot is pro-
gram-controlled and may also start up unexpectedly after being at rest for a prolonged period. Per-
sons struck by the motion of a robot may suffer severe and fatal injuries.
1.3.3

Safety measures

The operator has to identify the dangers that may occur in connection with the welding system
and estimate and minimise the associated risks.
Technical protective measures are to be selected and designed for the work to be performed
which enable programming, setting up, maintenance, testing, fault-tracing and elimination of faults
in safe conditions.
