Safety
On 29 December 2009 the existing Machinery Directive was replaced by a new Directive 2006/42/EC, which has important implications for companies building or importing machinery for use in the European Economic Area.
Although the main thrust of the new Directive is simplification and clarification - especially with regard to relationships with other Directives - there are other changes that will have a significant impact.
In this third amendment of the Machinery Directive, alterations have been made in respect of the scope, partly-completed machinery, fixed guards, conformity assessment procedures, enforcement and other areas.
Our expertise in machine safety and industrial automation means we know how to implement safety solutions that protect your operators, meet your production requirements and all relevant safety standards.
Safety Sensors.
Built in intelligence stops the machine in conditions that are dangerous for the worker. Small compact light curtains are now available meaning you are able to protect hazardous spots even in the tightest areas.
Safety Cameras.
Space saving cameras now make it possible to secure workstations in particularly ergonomic and process compatible ways.
Collision Prevention.
Laser measurement systems that achieve good results even in poor weather conditions. Saltwater resistant housing is also available for sensors operating in extreme conditions. Ideal for collision prevention on crane installations, derrick booms, straddle carriers and automatic container transporters.
Safety Laser Scanner Systems.
Available from Erwin Sick is the world's first system with TUV Certificate approved for outside use. Typical application examples are access protection for doors and gates, crane facilities, manned and unmanned vehicles, shipping facilities, sluice gates or conveyor systems.
