While human error is always a possibility when operating dangerous machinery it is imperative to ensure the safety of workers by installing adequate safety systems.
One way to ensure worker safety is machine guarding. However, machine guarding alone isn’t enough to ensure safe working practices, as there is nothing to prevent workers from using designated access points to gain entry into live machinery. It is usually necessary to include safety interlocking to provide a complete machine safety solution.
Safety sensors for industrial use
Compliant with international standards and tested by certification bodies, Pilz’ sensor technology portfolio includes safety switches for monitoring positions and guards.
