LOCKOUT GUIDE 1. LOCKOUT GUIDE A. INTRODUCTION An essential element of a comprehensive safety program includes the development and use of a written hazardous energy lockout procedure. The lockout procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of hazardous energy sources using an energy-isolating device whenever maintenance or service is performed on the processing line.
Page 14
(4) Lockout The placement of a lockout device on an energy-isolating device, in accordance with an established procedure, ensuring that the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled cannot be operated until the lockout device is removed. (5) Tagout The placement of a tagout device on an energy isolating device, in accordance with an established procedure, to indicate that the energy isolating device and the equipment being controlled may not be operated until the tagout device is removed.

• Contact Safety Manager for review of new equipment prior to releasing the equipment to production. (4) Affected employees shall: • Notify one of the following departments for an authorized employee lockout whenever servicing or maintenance is needed: Maintenance Die Setters Press Operators Engineers and Technicians •...
Page 16
• Shut the machine down using normal operating means (stop button). Operate (shut off, close, block, etc.) all of the energy-isolating devices. Lock out the energy-isolating devices with the assigned red padlock(s). Mechanical power presses will have the lockout procedures posted in a binder in each department supervisor’s office, listed by asset number.

• The incoming crew will then verify lockout using all procedures before replacing the departmental locks with their own or using lock box procedures. Contractors working in the company plant must have lockout procedures that meet or exceed the standard. •...

• The key to that identified departmental lock(s) will then be placed into an identified lock box. • All personnel associated with the lockout will then secure the identified lock box with their personal locks. (13) Department lock banks All departments will maintain a “lock bank”. A lock bank is a storage area for identified departmental locks.

The 800 Series Rollformer is equipped with a 5 HP motor with a variety of voltages available. Line speed is set at 90 FPM and the entire unit is backed up with Engel’s one year factory warranty.
Answers to questions regarding site preparation and other technical assistance is available free of charge via telephone between the hours of 8 AM and 4:30 PM CST Monday through Friday by calling the Engel Customer Service Department at 314-638-0100. (1) Unpacking The Machine When the machine arrives, inspect it carefully before accepting the shipment.
Be alert for loose, worn, or broken parts. Do not attempt to operate the machine with such parts present, or if the machine is making unusual noises or actions. Be sure that this manual is kept near the machine so the operator can refer to it when necessary.
2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW A. ROLLFORMER The Engel 800 Series Rollformer utilizes 8 forming stations to produce the desired profiles. It is powered by a 5 HP motor, with a production rate of approximately 90 feet per minute. The forming rolls were factory pre-gapped and should require little or no adjustment. The pre- gap settings allow the production of various gauges, without resetting any roll gap.
Figure 2-2 Typical Entrance Guides (HB-825S Shown) (2) Triplex Outboard Feed Guide Option If your 800 Series is equipped with Triplex outboard tooling, it will come with a multi- position entrance feed guide. This guide allows a variety of profiles to be formed without manually repositioning the entrance feed guides.
(3) Factory Roll Gap Settings The forming rolls were factory pre-gapped and should require little or no adjustment. The pre-gap settings allow the production of various gauges, without resetting roll gap. All 8 stations are factory gapped. Each set of four forming stations is equipped with four Tensioning Assemblies (Items A-D) and four Roll Gapping Assemblies (Items E and F).
Figure 2-5 Roll Gap Locations 6. This may take several adjustments to achieve the desired results. 7. Once the adjustment has been made retighten all Jam Nuts (F) on each Tensioning Assembly and then confirm proper gap. 8. Loosen Locking Jam Nut (B) on each Tensioning Assembly. 9.
Drive or S cleats. This unit is mounted to the top of the 800 series with a chute located between the slitter knives and the first set of forming rolls. This allows the strip to go from the slitter directly into the forming rolls, which reduces material handling.
3. SYSTEM CONTROLS This section describes the operational controls for the rollformer. The only control of the Engel 800 Series is a single On/Off rocker switch. This switch is used to start and stop the forming rolls drive motor. (1) ROLLFORMER START/STOP SWITCH A rocker style switch is used to start and stop the rollformer drive motor.
4. MAINTENANCE A. TORQUE VALUES FOR GENERAL ASSEMBLY The torque chart value (Table 1 and 2) is provided for reference when performing general assembly of various components. These values should be used only if torque values are not otherwise specified for a particular assembly. Refer to the associated assembly drawings for assemblies or other component assemblies that may require special torque specifications.
B. SERVICING (1) Lubricant Recommendations / Specifications To ensure that the system is kept in a correct operating condition, it must be inspected and maintained on a regular basis. Proper cleaning and/or replacement of filters, the periodic lubrication of bearings, bushings, chains and other moving friction and wear generating points will prevent damage to or failure of the unit, and provide optimum performance.
2. When using a low pressure grease gun, lubricate only to the point of grease starting to come out of the edges of the seals, etc., of the item being lubricated. 3. Do not over lubricate chains. Chain drives should not be lubricated to the point that oil is "flung"...

D. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE A periodic inspection schedule should be established and maintained. A suggested inspection/check schedule is provided in Table 4-6. The criteria listed meet the minimum requirements necessary to ensure safe reliable service under normal operating conditions. It should be modified as required to meet varying operating and environmental conditions. Table 4-6.
