INFORMATION
This numeric value had been measured on a new machine under conventional operating conditions. Depending on the age or wear of the machine, the noise behavior of the machine might
change.
Furthermore, the extent of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing
influence factors, such as speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is an emission level and not necessarily a safe
working level.
Unless the degree of noise emission and the degree of noise disturbance are depending on one
another it is not possible to use it in ord er to reliably determine if it is necessary to take further
preventive measures or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise disturbance of the
operator:
•Characteristics of the working chamber, e.g. size or damping behavior,
•Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
•Other processes proceeding nearby and the period during which the operator is exposed to
the noise.
Consult OSHA, state and local regulations in order to determine compliance, dangers and risks
to the operator.
