Leuze Electronic has introduced an inspection system to help ensure the safe light-curtain guarding of machines and danger areas.
Leuze's safety inspections use a purpose-designed, comprehensive, and standards-specific testing protocol to ensure a machine's compliance with safety and quality standards.
Leuze Electronic's safety inspections use a purpose-designed, comprehensive, rigorous and standards-specific testing protocol to ensure a machine’s compliance with safety and quality standards
At the end of the inspection the customer receives a report which states that the machine complies to the legislation or details its failure in specific criteria, enabling the customer to resolve the problem.
Regular safety inspections guarantee compliance with safety and quality standards and also serve as a precautionary maintenance measure.
Information supplied to the customer following a typical inspection includes: identification of the machine and its protective devices; tests of the installation's integrity - for example, can light curtains or guarding be reached over, under, or around into areas of danger; stopping-time measurements wherever possible - taking into account the complete stopping chain from light-curtain interruption to actual machine stoppage; testing, performed with calibrated measuring devices to produce documented test results in accordance with DIN ISO 9001:2000; a check of the circuit diagrams for confirmation of correct and safe integration of the guarding curtains into the machine's control system; and problem analysis and solutions presentation.
The information is presented in paper and/or PDF format and a is sticker applied to the light curtain to indicate the work has been carried out and when it's recommended to be checked again.
