ZRAY Announces CE Certification Compliance Across All Case Erector Series (Machinery 2006/42/EC, PLd/Cat.3) | ZRAY
A CE mark is only as good as the file behind it. Too many budget erectors arrive with a sticker and no technical documentation, leaving the importer liable when an inspector asks for the Declaration of Conformity. ZRAY now holds CE certification across every case erector series — ZR-25S, ZR-25C, ZR-25S-SS and ZR-40H — supported by a complete technical file and a signed DoC for each machine shipped into the EU and EEA.
Applicable Directives and Standards
| Directive / standard | Scope | What ZRAY verifies |
|---|---|---|
| Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC | Overall machine safety | Risk assessment, essential health & safety requirements |
| EMC Directive 2014/30/EU | Electromagnetic compatibility | Radiated/conducted emissions and immunity |
| Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU | Electrical safety < 1 kV | Insulation, clearance, creepage |
| EN ISO 12100 | Risk assessment methodology | Hazard identification and reduction |
| EN 60204-1 | Electrical equipment of machines | Panel design, wiring, disconnect |
| EN ISO 13849-1 | Safety-related control | PLd / Cat. 3 safety circuit |
| EN 953 | Guards and barriers | Fixed and interlocked guarding |
Safety Circuit Validation
Before shipment each control cabinet is tested against the safety functions:
| Safety function | Test | Acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency stop | Press E-stop, cycle reset | Category 3 stop, latched until manual reset |
| Safety door | Open interlocked guard | Motion removed within 0.5 s |
| Light curtain | Break beam at infeed | Drive de-energised, AL-07 latched |
| Safety relay reset | Pulse reset after fault | No auto-restart, single-channel monitor |
Core Specifications
| Parameter | ZR-25S | ZR-40H |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | up to 25 CPM | up to 40 CPM |
| Power | 2.2 kW | 3.0 kW |
| Air | 0.5–0.6 MPa, ~95 NL/min | 0.5–0.6 MPa, ~150 NL/min |
| Control | Delta / Mitsubishi FX5U + 7″ HMI | Mitsubishi FX5U + 7″ HMI |
| Voltage | 380 V/50 Hz (220/440 V options) | 380 V/50 Hz (220/440 V options) |
Corrugated Board Range
| Board type | Flute profile | Layers | Thickness | Basis weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single wall | B, C, E | 3 | 3.0–5.0 mm | 350–700 gsm |
| Double wall | BC, EB | 5 | 6.0–9.0 mm | 700–1,000 gsm |
| Heavy pre-creased | BC | 5 | up to 11 mm | 1,000+ gsm |
Flute direction must run vertically; board above 9 mm requires pre-creasing and a de-rated 30 CPM.
Field Alarms Relevant to Compliance
| Code | Description | Typical cause | Field action |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL-07 | Safety circuit open | Guard or door opened | Close guard, reset safety relay |
| AL-02 | Magazine empty | Low carton stack | Reload; set side guides |
| AL-09 | Air pressure low | FRL fault | Check FRL unit, drain trap |
| AL-10 | Encoder / comm fault | Loose cable | Reseat connector, re-route |
Preventive Maintenance
| Interval | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Daily | Drain FRL bowl; verify pressure; clean vacuum filter; test E-stop |
| Weekly | Lubricate guides; check belt tension; clean sensors |
| Monthly | Replace vacuum filter; torque frame bolts; test safety circuit |
| Quarterly | Replace suction cups; grease gearbox; verify PLC I/O |
| Annually | Change gearbox oil; insulation-test panel; re-level |
