GB/T 46080-2025 Machine tools—Safety—Electrical discharge machines
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements and protective measures for electrical discharge machining machines and systems, such as:
—— Manually controlled electrical discharge forming machines or electrical discharge micro-hole processing machines;
—— Numerically controlled electrical discharge forming machines or electrical discharge micro-hole processing machines;
—— Numerically controlled electrical discharge wire-cutting machines.
This document also provides information to be provided by manufacturers to users. This document considers the intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of electrical discharge machining machines and systems in normal workshop environments and non-explosive environments, including transportation, installation, commissioning, maintenance, repair, and disassembly for relocation and scrapping.
This document applies to electrical discharge machining machines and systems, but not to arc erosion and electrochemical machining equipment. This document also applies to auxiliary equipment for electrical discharge machining processes.
This document addresses major hazards, dangerous situations, or dangerous events related to the use of electrical discharge machining machines and systems under intended and reasonably foreseeable misuse conditions.
This document applies to machines manufactured after the date of publication of this document.
This document defines the necessary grades and safety categories for safety-related components of electrical discharge machining machines and systems, which are defined in GB/T 16855.1—2018.
