October 7 Flashcards
for woodworking machinery, emphasis is placed…
upon the importance of maintaining cleanliness around woodworking machinery, particularly as regards the effective functioning of guard and the prevention of fire hazards in switch enclosures, bearings, and motors.
True or False: Push sticks or push blocks shall be provided at the workplace in the several sizes and type suitable for the work to be done
True
Abrasive Wheel Machinery: Work Rests
On offhand grinding machines, work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion
Abrasive Wheel Machinery: Exposure Adjustment
Safety guards, where the operator stands in front of the opening, shall be constructed so that the peripheral protecting member can be adjusted to the constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The maximum angular exposure above the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle as specified in this section shall never be exceeded, and the distance between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue or the end of the peripheral member at the top shall never exceed one-fourth inch.
Inspection of Abrasive Wheel machinery
Immediately before mounting, all wheels shall be closely inspected and sounded by the user (ring test) to make sure they have not been damaged in transit, storage, or otherwise. The spindle speed of the machine shall be checked before mounting of the wheel to be certain that it does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel. Wheels should be tapped gently with a light nonmetallic implement, such as the handle of a screwdriver for light wheels, or a wooden mallet for heavier wheels. If they sound cracked (dead), they shall not be used. This is known as the “Ring Test”
“Bite”
the nip point between any two inrunning rolls
“Calender”
a machine equipped with two or more metal rolls revolving in opposite directions and used for continuously sheeting or plying up robber and plastic compounds and for fractioning or coating materials with rubber and plastic compounds - VERTICAL
“Mill”
a machine consisting of two adjacent metal rolls, set horizontally, which revolve in opposite directions used for the mechanical working of rubber and plastics compounds
Mills Safety Controls - safety trip control
A safety trip control shall be provided in front and in back of each mill. It shall be accessible and shall operate readily on contact. The safety trip control shall be one of the following types or a combination thereof:
- pressure-sensitive body bar
- safety tripod
- safety tripwire cable or wire center cord
Calender Safety Controls - Safety trip, Face
A safety tripod, cable, or wire center cord shall be provided across each pair of in-running rolls extending the length of the face of the rolls. It shall be readily accessible and operate whether pushed or pulled. The safety tripping devices shall be located within reach of the operator and the bite.
Calender Safety Controls - Safety Trip, Side
On both sides of the calender and near each end of the face of the roll, there shall be a cable or wire center cord connected to the safety trip. They shall operate readily when pushed or pulled
Stopping Limits for calenders and mills - determination of distance of travel
All measurements on mills and calenders shall be taken with the rolls running empty at maximum operating speed. Stopping distances shall be expressed in inches of surface travel of the roll from the instant the emergency stopping device is actuated
stopping limits for mills
not greater than 1 1/2 percent of the peripheral no-load surface speeds of respective rolls
stopping limits for calenders
not greater than 1 ¾ percent of the peripheral no-load surface speeds of the respective calender rolls.
“Press”
a mechanically powered machine that shears, punches, forms, or assembles metal or other material by means of cutting, shaping, or combination dies attached to slides. A press consists of a stationary bed or anvil, and a slide (or slides) having a controlled reciprocating motion toward and away from the bed surface, the slide being guided in a definite path by the frame of the press
