ISO DIS 19085-1:2026, 4.8, shall apply.

Requirements for clamping are related to machine pressure beams.

The pressure beam in the front cutting line shall remain in its rest position even when power is lost to its actuators.

An energy supply interruption shall not lead to any dangerous movement, e.g. returning of the saw blade to its rest position when the moveable guard for saw blade changing is open.

Since the control system may be in an undefined state during energy supply failure, this shall be achieved by mechanical means, e.g. non-return valves or valves with spring reset, blocking devices or self-locking threads.

In case of any energy supply failure, the following exceptions may apply to the stopping sequence described in 4.4.1:

— movement in c) may be initiated simultaneously to a) b) and e) if the safety curtain remains in its guarding position; or

— saw blades are allowed not to retract to their rest position if the safety curtain remains in its guarding position and pressure beam does not leave its clamping position.

Access to the tool, e.g. for saw blade changing, shall be provided. The relevant opening in the fixed guard shall be guarded by a movable guard with interlocking and guard locking.

Any powered movement required for saw blade changing shall only be possible with the relevant moveable guards closed.

For front cutting line, if the saw blade is in its rest position, it shall not protrude from the slot in the machine table, even with the saw carriage being not in its rest position. The slots in the machine table and in the vertical sides, through which the saw blades project during cutting operation, shall be designed in accordance with the safety distances in ISO 13857:2019, Table 4. As an exception, the safety distance from the table surface to the saw blades in their rest positions may be reduced to 20 mm if the maximum slot width in the table is ≤10 mm.

For front cutting line, access to the saw blades in the cutting area from the operator side of the machine shall be hindered by a deterring/impeding device in the form of a sectional safety curtain consisting of individual stripes. On machines without panel pusher, a second sectional safety curtain shall be fitted at the rear side of the pressure beam.

Access to the saw blades from above the sectional safety curtains shall be prevented by fixed guards.

The sectional safety curtain shall meet the following requirements:

a) it shall cover the full cutting width of the machine;

Access to the saw blades in the cutting area at longitudinal and head cutting lines shall be prevented by fixed and interlocking movable guards. This may usually be achieved by the same means that prevent access to the rear side of a machine with panel pusher, i.e. a perimeter fence with or without access doors (see 5.6.8).

Access to moving parts, e.g. the saw carriage, from below the guards enclosing the front and longitudinal cutting lines shall be prevented by all following measures (see Figure 4):

— all hazardous points shall have a height of at least 120 mm above the floor;

— the gap h of the lower edge of the housing from the floor shall be maximum 120 mm;

— the direct distance l₁ or the thread measure l₂ from the lower edge of the housing to any hazardous point shall be at least 230 mm.

For other configurations and shapes, the requirements of ISO 13857:2008 shall apply.

NOTE Some minimum clearance between the machine and the floor is needed for effective cleaning.

At the front cutting line at least one opening, covered by a moveable or a dismountable guard with interlocking without guard locking, shall be provided in the machine body. The opening shall be in the section of the machine where maintenance of the saw carriage is possible and where cleaning is most effective. Access to the saw blades shall not be possible through this opening.

If a dismountable interlocked guard is provided, it shall not be possible to re-mount it in a wrong way.

On machines with panel pusher, access across the machine body to the hazard area on the backside from the unloading area (Figure 2, key 4) shall be prevented by fixed guards having a height of at least 1 600 mm from the floor [see Figure 1 a), b), c), key h₁ and Figure 5, key h].

Figure 5 — Front guard height

Crushing and trapping hazard caused by the downward movement of the pressure beam shall be avoided by providing a mechanically actuated trip device (trip bar) on each side of the machine where the operators can reach the cutting line during normal operation. Possible positions of the trip bar sensor are shown in Figure 6.

The mechanically actuated trip device (trip bar) shall be in accordance with the following requirements.

a) It shall extend at least over the full length of the pressure beam.

b) The force to actuate the trip bar shall not exceed 50 N wherever applied over the full length of it.

c) When its sensor is activated during the downward movement, the pressure beam shall stop before the distance between the lower part of the pressure beam and the workpiece support (see Figure 6) is less than 12 mm, and shall return to its rest position.

The SRP/CS for the stop of the movement of the pressure beam in c) shall achieve PLr = c.

The SRP/CS for the return movement of the pressure beam in c) shall achieve PLr = b.

For machines without panel pusher, as an alternative to the trip bar, the following means may be adopted to avoid crushing and trapping hazards caused by the downward movement of the pressure beam:

1) the downward movement of the pressure beam shall be controlled by a hold-to-run control;

2) releasing the hold-to-run control, the pressure beam shall return to its rest position, unless:

i) the pressure beam has reached the clamping position or clamping pressure; and

ii) the cutting cycle has been started by the operator using a separate control device (see 4.3.3).

Crushing and trapping hazards caused by the forward movement of the panel pusher and pressure beam shall be avoided either by:

— a vertical gap of not less than 50 mm from the lower surface of the pressure beam in its rest position to the panel pusher upper surface [see Figure 7 a)];

— a horizontal gap of not less than 50 mm from the rear surface of the pressure beam in its rest position to the upper surface of the collet in the foremost position [see Figure 7 b)] and a vertical gap of not less than 50 mm from the lower surface of the pressure beam in its rest position to the upper surface of the panel stack with the maximum thickness allowed [see Figure 7 c)];

— limiting the forward movement of the panel pusher to a maximum of 5 mm increment at each activation of the control device. The SRP/CS for this limited movement shall achieve PL_r = b; or

— interlocking of the forward movement with the sectional safety curtain in its guarding position. The SRP/CS for interlocking of the forward movement with the safety curtain guarding position shall achieve PL_r = b.

For trip bar, with reference to Figure 6, depending on the chosen position of the trip bar sensor, a rigid distance block with height as follows shall be positioned so that it activates the trip bar sensor in the middle of its length:

— 26 mm if the sensor position 1 a) is chosen, with distance l ≥ 100 mm;

— 30 mm if the sensor position 1 b) is chosen, with distance l ≥ 125 mm; or

— 36 mm if the sensor position 1 c) is chosen, with distance l ≥ 150 mm.

The downward movement of the pressure beam with its maximum speed is initiated and the smallest vertical distance between the pressure beam and the workpiece support is recorded, e.g. using a modelling clay block. The test shall be repeated with the distance block at the left and at the right end of the sensor. The measured distance shall be less than 12 mm in none of the three tests.

If the machine is fitted with a power-driven side pressure device in the front cutting line, access to crushing and shearing points between the side pressure device and the pressure beam and the workpiece or the workpiece support shall be prevented by interlocking any powered movement of the side pressure device with safety curtain guarding position.

c) Access door shall be provided, unless access to the rear of the machine for maintenance and servicing purposes is possible via an opening provided for loading of the workpieces which is safeguarded by the measures described in 5.6.9. The access door shall be interlocked with all dangerous movements, e.g. panel pusher movement, saw blade rotation and loading device movements. If the run-down time of any hazardous movement inside the protected zone is more than 2 s, guard locking in addition to the interlocking of the access door is required. A reset control device according to 4.9 shall be provided and located as stated in 4.2.

If fixed guards are mounted on the machine frame, the following requirements shall be met.

— The fixed guards’ top edge shall have a minimum height [Figure 1 c), key h₂] of 1 800 mm from the floor level, or 1 600 mm if in combination with a horizontal prolongation inward of 200 mm at the top edge;

The protected zone shall extend laterally (in direction perpendicular to the workpiece unloading direction) at least 850 mm, or at least 500 mm where a fence with a minimum height of 1 400 mm is provided at the outer side of the ESPE/pressure sensitive mat (see Figure 12, key 5).

Where the fixed extension table extends up to the fixed elements, the previous requirement does not apply, and an additional AOPD (single light beam AOPD, see Figure 12 b, key 6) shall be provided to prevent crushing of arm, hand, fingers. This AOPD shall be positioned:

1) at a minimum distance from any fixed point of 120 mm plus the maximum distance travelled by the panel pusher moving at the maximum speed, after its stop initiation (see Figure 12 b, key W1min)

2) above the fixed extension table upper surface at a height suitable to detect workpieces presence.

Triggering the pressure sensitive mat or ESPE or AOPD shall initiate a safe stop of the panel pusher. The SRP/CS for initiating a safe stop when triggering the pressure sensitive mat or ESPE or AOPD shall achieve PL_r = c.

If the machine is designed to be loaded also from the rear, the minimum distance between any fixed elements and the extension tables edge shall in any case be not less than half of the maximum length of the panel (L/2) plus 500 mm.

In addition a free space shall be ensured at the sides of the cutting line of at least 500 mm extending from the outer edge of the shortest workpiece extension table up to any fixed element stated above.

NOTE lateral clearance is needed to avoid shearing and crushing hazards between the workpiece and any fixed obstacle, e.g. columns

Access to the area of the machine where the external system provides automatic workpiece loading/unloading from the top (i.e. the machine table or the machine preloading roller conveyor or the machine lifting table) shall be prevented by fixed guards in combination with:

a) interlocking movable guards with guard locking. Guard unlocking shall be possible only when it is detected that the external system is out of the area where access is required (e.g. detection by mechanical cam and position switch) and that there are no hanging workpieces. The SRP/CS for interlocking of unlocking with position of the external system for top loading/unloading and the detection that there are no hanging workpieces shall achieve PL_r = c.

b) ESPE or pressure sensitive mats extending at least 1 000 mm from any dangerous point, including any hanging workpiece. In addition, a warning light shall clarify when access is allowed and when no workpiece is hanging.

In both cases, any intrusion of the external system in the protected area when the interlocking movable guard is opened or the ESPE/ pressure sensitive mats have been triggered, shall provide a signal to the external system causing a safe stop of the external system itself. The SRP/CS for interlocking of any intrusion of the external system in the protected area with the signal causing a safe stop of the external system shall achieve PL_r = c.

If the machine is fitted with an integrated trimming unit for offcuts management, access to crushing and shearing points of the trimming unit shall be prevented e.g. by a combination of the following:

a) fixed guards with opening for off cuts feeding providing a distance of at least 850 mm from any hazardous point where the accessible part of the opening around the vibrating conveyor does not exceed 180 mm in one of the two dimensions;

b) fixed guards with a minimum height of 1 800 mm and a maximum distance from the floor of 180 mm, providing a distance of at least 850 mm from any hazardous point;

c) moveable guards with interlocking. The moveable guards shall be provided with guard locking if the stopping time of the moving parts is higher than 2 s.

ISO DIS 19085-1:2026, 5.7, shall apply to the movements of the panel pushers and of the pushing out device in the direction of the operator, both at the front cutting line.

The SRP/CS for the interlocking of the position of panel pusher with the speed monitoring shall achieve PL_r = c.

Where additional panel pushers are mounted onto the main panel pusher carriage, the following requirements apply:

— their relative stroke shall be limited to 1 200 mm;
