I have an assembly line project consisting of power press stations, pre/after assembling parts checking stations(measure and check if parts used are OK), functionality testing station(quality inspection), and conveyor system.
Now I have difficulty determining what safety category I have to comply with for the whole assembly line. E-Stop's, light curtains(for function testing station), and safety gates(for pressing, parts checking, and fuction testing stations) will be used in safety circuits.
According to CSA Z142-02(Code for Power Press Operation), Safety category 4 must be applied for power press. But how can I assess the risk and determine the safety catedory level for the whole assembly line?
I look forward to your valuable help and suggestions.
