| Abstract |
This report presents a method for evaluating the safety of automated machines according to the procedure defined in ISO 14121:1999, applied to plastics injection moulding machines. Several interventions on two similar machines used in two plants in the Quebec plastics industry were observed. Although the findings cannot be directly transferred to risk analyses on other injection moulding or other types of automated machines, they nevertheless reveal several typically dangerous phenomena, situations and events associated with industrial machines. The report also discusses various safety principles, functions and components integrated into the electrical, programmable electronic and hydraulic control circuits aimed at reducing the risks of injection moulding machines that are applicable to several types of industrial machines. |
