Protecting people, machines and property is the primary objective of safety-related pneumatic systems and components. For all production machinery, international standards and regulations define measures to prevent accidents through safe machine design. AVENTICS has published a guide that covers key topics in the implementation of relevant directives and standards for safety-related pneumatics using examples, circuit diagrams and products.
The forty-eight page guide number R499051208, titled “Machine Safety Expertise for Pneumatics” covers topics such as: international directives and standards, hazards vs. risks, risk assessment, estimating performance level, implementing safety functions, diagnostic coverage, common causes of failure (CCF), and sharing of AVENTICS expertise and sample circuits in areas such as fieldbus, air preparation, safety valves plus locking and braking. The brochure is available for download at the link below.
