Compression at the transfer point
The space between two conveyors or a robot and a carrier can capture the hand, foot or clothing.
For Conveyor, robot and automation systems, the applicable CE scope is determined from intended use, energy sources, safety architecture and target market. The risk assessment, technical file, testing and conformity route must be verified against the actual model.

While tape and helmet conveyors carry material continuously, the robot cell works or transfers parts with programmable movements; the palleting system combines the robot, the receiver, the conveyor, the pallet magazine, and environmental protection. Even if each component is suitable on its own, unprecedented risks can arise at junction points such as crushing, access, product falling, control collisions, and unexpected movement.
The system boundary must be drawn from the input sensor to the output point of the material, from the power supply to the top-level production software. It should document which emergency stop affects which equipment, how the upstream stops when a submachine is broken, where the reinstallation is made, and the visibility of the start area. Regional position preferences on long conveyor lines should not endanger the employee in another area.
In Turkey, the Directive 2006/42/AT is implemented in the 2026 proposal and the AT Compliance Statement is regulated. In the EU and EEA market, the Directive 2006/42/EC is implemented including 19 hob 2027; and the current (EU) 2023/1230 is in general application from 20 hob 2027.
Functional security work is not just about controlling the brand and model of the emergency stop relay. The required performance is determined based on the severity, exposure, and avoidance of the danger; the chain of sensor, logic, and output elements is calculated, the software configuration is recorded and tested. The safe speed of the robot or the protection distance of the field scanner must be based on the actual location of the cell, the measured posture performance and position. When the prescription, robot program, or safe parameter are changed, the affected assumptions can be reviewed with a traceable recording.
Name similarity alone is not sufficient; the energy source, intended use, and safety architecture are read together.
| Product or limit | The distinguishing feature | The relevance of the results |
|---|---|---|
| Who's the final producer? | The party that launches the system under its own name and completes the integrated file is clearly specified in the contract. | |
| How do you separate the security zones? | The risky interactions of single or multiple regional position architecture are assessed according to the maintenance and production approach. | |
| Is the robot and the human in the same space? | If the cooperative application claims, the task, contact, speed, strength and protective distance are verified in particular. | |
| Where's the access to the conveyor? | Feeding, transfer, sub-turning, torsion and discharge points are examined in operational and cleaning scenarios. | |
| Can the remote connection start the movement? | Access to the service separates the security authorities; no hazardous work is allowed without local approval. | |
| Is it possible that the product will fall? | The rotation of the pallet, part or casting material and the behaviour in the event of loss of the holding energy are calculated. |
The protective, control and verification approach shall be based on the actual product cycle.
The space between two conveyors or a robot and a carrier can capture the hand, foot or clothing.
A program error, wrong mode, remote command, or power return can cause the robot to move while in the field.
When the product is held in a vacuum, electricity or pressure loss, it can be released.
If the operator cannot see the entire line, dangerous movements can begin without prior warning, regional re-installation and restart control.
Unauthorized editing in the programmable logic controller (PLC) parameter can impair the calculated security performance.
The voltage, gravity, pneumatic sensor and lifted robot axis can move when power is cut off, requiring mechanical and controlled discharge measures.
A single product name doesn't give the same answer for all models.
| The subject | The situation | Product-based evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| The machine's layout | YES, YES | In Turkey, 2006/42/AT is applied for the automation system; the next national compliance is confirmed on the date of the first market supply or first service of the integrated arrangement. Conveyor and robot interfaces are assessed in this framework. |
| EMC | IT 'S A MESS . | EMC scope is assessed in terms of the intended environment; driver and communication patterns affect test requirements. |
| LVD | NO , NOT AT ALL . | The LVD is not applied to machinery as a separate directive; electrical safety objectives are met within the scope of machinery legislation. |
| PED | IT 'S A MESS . | Pneumatic use alone does not produce PED results; pressure vessels and accessories within the scope are classified separately. |
| ATEX | IT 'S A MESS . | Combustible dust is a common feature of conveyor or robot systems designed for use in the atmosphere of gas or steam. |
| Radio equipment | IT 'S A MESS . | If wireless security or communication devices are used in the system, the scope of the RED product will also be reviewed. |
ISO management system certification does not replace product-specific risk analysis, test evidence and compliance file.
The delivery responsibilities are written down by the integrator, machine suppliers and end-user with the system limit.
New hazards are being sought on mechanical transfers, control signals, energy exchange and operator transitions.
For each function, the trigger, safe state, required performance, and reboot conditions are defined.
Software version, sensor fields, standby time, load loss and error responses are tested on the field.
Submachine documents, integrated drawings, test reports and user instructions are combined in a single configuration.
The scope of work is determined by cell number, security area, software functions, submachine records, and field verification.
Compare the top coverage or other similar risk architecture.
No. Depending on the application form, there may be a declaration of conformity for the robot or a declaration of assembly and assembly instructions for the partially completed machine, which do not replace the evaluation of the end equipment, protectors, conveyor, program and final cell.
The capability of the equipment is just the beginning. The required performance, architecture, diagnosis, software and verification results must be proven together.
The camera is examined to see if it is only a quality control device or if it influences the decision to move or safety.
There's no one universal answer, and regional or general posture is designed based on safe conditions, material accumulation, upstream and downstream effects, and employee access.
It is not enough to market the robot as a collaborative robot, i.e. cobot. The mission, end equipment, load, contact areas, speed and force measurements are evaluated for the entire application.
If the connection can affect machine parameters or movement, authorization, local control, recording and secure failure behavior are included in the risk assessment.
Share the model of the machine or device, the location of use and the basic technical data. The Kayra Patent explains the path to be followed for scope analysis, technical preparation, test plan and, where necessary, approved organization coordination.
