Performance level

What level does my switches need?

In this webinar our safety expert Matthias Schulz will explain the term “PL = Performance Level” and its synonym “SIL = Safety Integrity Level”. The term “safety related reliability” will be explained in simple terms by comparing three vehicles and their brakes. Then the insights from that example will be applied to three other machines.

Impact protection vs. machine guarding

What’s the difference between impact protection and machine guarding - and when should each be used? In this session, our safety specialists explain where each solution fits best, why combining them isn’t always ideal, and how the lack of standards can complicate safety decisions.

Safety requirements

Screwed, hinged, monitored, or locked?

Any perfect cage has a weak point: removable parts and doors. When it comes to machine housings and guard fencing the need for access calls for removable or moving guards.

What are the safety requirements and how should you go about selecting the right solution?

Our 20-minute webinar presents the key rules for access to guarded areas from international standards based on the reason for access and its frequency. Learn what to consider when selecting and designing the right solution for frequent, temporary, or occasional access to hazard zones.
