The more exten­sive or con­nected a plant is, the more impor­tant it is to think of machinery safety holis­ti­cally – from begin­ning to end. Read here how you can always main­tain an overview.

Systematic gate guarding!

Reducing bar­riers between human and machine would be a desir­able goal. But in many appli­ca­tions, the required safety must be guar­an­teed using mov­able guards – while always focusing on pro­duc­tion effi­ciency.

Partnership for sustainable access management

In close coop­er­a­tion with its cus­tomers, Pilz looks for joint solu­tions for sus­tain­able digi­ti­sa­tion in mechan­ical engi­neering. Pilz has worked with machine tool man­u­fac­turer Starrag to develop its oper­ating mode selec­tion system into an entry and access per­mis­sion man­age­ment system for Safety & Secu­rity.

Safety delivered promptly

“On our plants, it is not a case of inte­grating a light bar­rier some­where or other. Instead, it’s impor­tant to also con­sider the pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ment and to safely manage human-machine inter­ac­tion”, says Andreas Stummer, CTO of the Aus­trian spe­cial pur­pose machine builder SRW. For him, how­ever, this is just one of many rea­sons for the long-time coop­er­a­tion with Pilz.

How do I find the right safety locking device?

There is a wide range of mov­able guards on plant and machinery – from small covers to large, acces­sible gates. But how can you reli­ably pro­tect human and machine? In three simple steps, we’ll show you how to find the right safety locking device for each appli­ca­tion.

Green light for engine parts

On an exten­sive crack testing machine, how can you ensure that only autho­rised employees gain access to the indi­vidual process steps? With the flex­ible oper­ating mode selec­tion and access per­mis­sion system PIT­mode fusion, only autho­rised per­sons now get the “green light” at Rhode + Wagner.

“We find tailored solutions”

In an inter­view, Thomas Nitsche, Senior Man­ager of Sales Training at Pilz, explains where the chal­lenges lie in the pack­aging industry, how packing plants are designed and what cus­tomers can rely on from Pilz.
