lifting head lathe

[PaoloR1]

hello to all, I am paolo, I am a craftsman who deals, besides the execution of drawings, also of the management of production; management orders, costs etc.etc. I said that I am new to the communty, so I first apologize if there will be some imperfection at my question.
My client is a big carpentry, which received an order for the execution of a head of a lathe.
on the design of their client but I realized that there is no element (e.g. ears) in order to be able to lift/rebuilt the head itself. If I do not remember correctly, the machine directive 2006/42/ce provides for all this, so I am asking for confirmation if it is also to you, and if you can tell me the point of the legislation that speaks of this.

Thank you.
Palo

Hello and welcome.
First of all, it is necessary to understand whether a head of a lathe is a machine: I don't know if it's even a near car. Maybe it's a component of the machine.
the second is that those who build the machine will have to predict such objects on the head to allow lifting if there are no other means to be able to lift/move it. These aspects depend on risk analysis and the application of the machinery directive. There is no point in particular, I would say more than one, starting from point 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and the maintenance series (1.6) and the operating instructions.
