ISO 19085-6:2024

Overview

ISO 19085-6:2024 - Woodworking machines - Safety - Part 6: Single spindle vertical moulding machines (toupie) specifies safety requirements and measures for single-spindle vertical moulding machines designed for continuous production. The standard applies to machines that cut solid wood and similar materials, covering operation, adjustment, maintenance, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping. It also addresses reasonably foreseeable misuse. Exclusions include machines with outboard bearings, machines with powered movements of a front extension/tenoning sliding table, machines for explosive atmospheres, and machines manufactured before publication.

Keywords: ISO 19085-6:2024, woodworking machines safety, single spindle vertical moulding machines, toupie, safety requirements.

Key topics and technical requirements

The document focuses on controls, mechanical protections and other hazards relevant to moulding machines. Major technical topics include:

• Control systems and safety of controls
  • Reliability of control systems, start modes, safe stops (normal, operational, emergency), manual reset, standstill detection, mode selection, speed changing and direction change.
• Braking and tool run-down
  • Requirements for braking functions and maximum run-down time of tools.
• Tool and spindle interfaces
  • Tool fixing design, spindle locking, quick tool/arbor change systems, interchangeable arbors and shank-mounted tool fixation.
• Guards and safeguarding
  • Fixed and interlocked movable guards, hold-to-run and two-hand controls, electro-sensitive and pressure-sensitive protective equipment, prevention of access to hazardous moving parts (straight, curved and tenoning work), anti-kickback measures and guard materials.
• Mechanical integrity
  • Stability, risk of tool break-up, clamping devices, support and guide systems for workpieces, glass bead saw unit safeguarding.
• Other hazards
  • Noise reduction and measurement, chip and dust emission, fire, electrical, ergonomics, lighting, pneumatics, hydraulics, EMC, static electricity and maintenance considerations.
• Information for use
  • Marking, warning devices and instruction handbook requirements.

Keywords: tool guarding, emergency stop, braking, noise, dust emission, control safety.

Applications and who uses it

ISO 19085-6:2024 is intended for:

• Machine manufacturers and designers to integrate compliant safety features.
• Safety engineers and compliance officers for risk assessment and certification.
• Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies evaluating woodworking machinery.
• Plant managers, maintenance personnel and trainers implementing safe operation and maintenance procedures.
• Purchasers and procurement professionals specifying safety requirements for toupies.

Practical uses include designing safer moulding machines, preparing instruction handbooks, defining guarding and control layouts, and reducing noise/dust hazards on production lines.

Related standards

• Other parts of the ISO 19085 series (woodworking machines - safety) apply to different machine types and general principles. Users should consult the broader ISO 19085 family and any applicable national regulations for conformity and implementation.
