Working with machinery and equipment involves safety risks. The European Machinery Directive aims to prevent dangerous situations for employees and imposes requirements on newly built and modified machinery.
Machine safety is therefore important in the design and construction of machines and plants in both electrical and mechanical fields. In addition to mechanical measures, risks can be reduced through electrical devices such as light barriers, fence switches, safety switches, etc.
To check and calculate functional safety, we use the PL (EN ISO 13849) and
SIL (EN/IEC 62061) ratings.
Our engineers can advise and assist with:
- Performing a Risk Inventory & Evaluation (RI&E) of your machine or plant.
- Advising on, and resolving security issues.
- Designing safety controls.
