INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under the operating conditions
specified by the manufacturer. The noise behaviour of the machine may change
depending on the age and wear of the machine. Furthermore, the noise emission also
depends on production engineering factors, speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The specified numerical value is the emission level and not necessarily a safe working
level. Although there is a correlation between the degree of noise emission and the
degree of noise disturbance, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether further
precautionary measures are required or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of noise to which the operator is exposed:
▲ Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size of damping behaviour,
▲ other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
▲ other processes taking place in proximity and the period of time, during which the
operator is exposed to the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level may vary from country to country due
to national regulations.
This information about the noise emission should, however, allow the operator of the machine to
more easily evaluate the hazards and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic threshold values, machine
operators must wear appropriate ear protection. We generally recommend the use of
noise and ear protection.
