  • MACHINE SAFETY IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND FOOD INDUSTRY

    CUTTING FROZEN PRODUCTS – BUT SAFELY [more]

    Food manufacturers around the world use Magurit freeze cutters. The company sets standards in terms of quality, productivity and machine 

    safety. It therefore goes without saying that the components installed, such as safety switchgear, must also fulfil the high standards. 

    Added to this are requirements such as tamper protection and hygienic design. In the following article, you will find out what is important and 

    what solutions are available.

  • A GLIMPSE INTO THE STANDARDS JUNGLE

    Practical application of new standards based on a project example [more]

    When planning and designing a machine plant, there is a range of standards and directives that must be taken into account, and it can be easy to lose track. If those standards then get amended while the project is ongoing, you need to pay special attention. Using an intralogistics project as an example, we’ll show you why functional machine safety is so complex and what needs to be taken into account in different areas of machine and systems engineering.

  • MACHINE SAFETY IN INTRALOGISTICS – BEST WHEN NETWORKED

    CONCEPTS FOR COMMUNICATION AND SIGNAL EVALUATION [more]

    When it comes to machine safety in conveyor and storage technology systems, it’s vital that the topic of ‘networking’ is on the agenda, owing to the extensive nature of the systems, and the numerous and dif-ferent safety switchgear devices that they contain. With a sophisticated networking concept, you can achieve multiple goals in one go – transparency in communication, ‘lean’ wiring and intelligent linking of different system areas. Here, system engineers can choose from a number of different options.
