IEC EN 60204-34 Machinery Safety - Electrical Equipment of Machines - Part 34: Requirements for Machine Tools

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60204-34 testing. IEC EN 60204-34 applies to systems of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic equipment and machine tools that cannot be carried by hand while working, including a group of machines working together in a coordinated manner. In this part of IEC EN 60204, machine tools mean all machinery for the processing of metal, wood, plastic and stone, working with the shaping or removal of material.

IEC EN 60204-34 Machinery Safety - Electrical Equipment of Machines - Part 34: Requirements for Machine Tools

The following list includes, but is not limited to, examples of machine tools:

  • turning machines;
  • Milling machines (including drilling machines);
  • Machining centers;
  • planers;
  • drilling machines;
  • grinding machines;
  • laser processing machines;
  • Electro Discharge Machines (EDM) (excluding power circuits for discharge);
  • sawing machines for cold metal;
  • Guillotine shears;
  • Hydraulic press brakes;
  • Mechanical (or hydraulic, pneumatic) presses.

Power circuits in which electrical energy is used as a direct operating device are excluded from this part of IEC EN 60204. In addition to this standard, the applicable C standard for the machines listed in the examples can be consulted for more information.

Laser processing machines can produce laser radiation. The laser class must be specified in accordance with IEC EN 60825-1 and the laser hazard label corresponding to the laser class must be affixed and laser hazards must be minimized according to IEC EN 60825-1 and IEC EN 60825-4. IEC EN 60825-4 specifies requirements for laser shields.

When a machine tool needs to use several electrical cabinets, it is recommended that the main power supply be connected to the main power switch of a single electrical cabinet. If other cabinets need a power source, it is recommended to connect them to the main power switch of this single electrical cabinet.
