4.3.1 Machine without chip conveyor

Before commissioning a machine without a chip conveyor (e.g., with centralized
chip removal), the operator/owner must provide a safe and environmentally friendly
option for chip removal.
When operating a machine without a chip conveyor, hazards arise at the mechanical
interface.
Possible hazards due to the opening:
• In the event of a fault, parts may be thrown out through the chip conveyor open-
ing (clamping jaws, workpieces, bar remnants, etc.)
• Breathing difficulties or asphyxiation due to escaping extinguishing gas
• Hot and sharp-edged chips
• Cooling lubricant coming out (possibly under high pressure)
• Slipping/falling on leaked cooling lubricant
• Flames coming out
In the case of centralized chip disposal and machining with oil:
• Flames coming out through the gap or into the centralized delivery.
Remedy: apply a seal so that there is no gap
