We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Safety Equipment", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Light curtains monitor hazardous jobs from Cedes, which we summarised at the time by saying "A safety light curtain monitors the operation of a Wohlenberg Schneidsysteme guillotine". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Self-pierce riveting process preferred by big cats from Henrob Direct: "Such is Jaguar's commitment to the Henrob riveting process that the structure and production tooling for the new XK were optimised to make best use of this joining method".
 
In May 2007, we covered the news from Fortress Interlocks - take a look at Safety equipment wins innovation award which says: "Fortress Interlocks' safety equipment ensures that potentially dangerous procedures take place in the correct, safe order".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Zwick Testing Machines, Testing software meets FDA standards, as well as Gas safety equipment protects steelworks from Witt Gas Techniques, and Safety controllers added to ethylene plant from Hima Paul Hildebrandt.
