The statutory provisions in the field of building technology and the construction industry specify strict guidelines when it comes to personal protection. There is a good reason for this: Accidents in the workplace often have severe consequences for those affected and can result in high costs. This does not need to be the case. With Mayser, engineers can err on the safe side.
In addition to the demand for ease of operation, facade elements and automatically controlled windows must also guarantee the safety of persons inside the building. It does not take a lot to minimise the risk of accidents or completely prevent accidents in the workplace caused by negligence or incorrect operation. The specialist for personal protection, Mayser, is offering industrial plant designers everything that is needed in this regard. Tactile security and protection systems by Mayser completely fulfil the safety-relevant standards EN ISO 13849 and/or EN ISO 13856, which are also especially important in the field of doors, gates and windows. Depending on the application and requirement, these can be implemented individually or in practical combinations and integrated without problems. Special solutions that are tailored to specific customer requirements and that fulfil the legal requirements, just like standard products, are also possible.
Tactile security and protection systems by Mayser have been specially designed for industrial use. The range covers all sources of danger linked to the operation of machinery and plants and also takes into consideration the different working environments within the industry.
High to mini safety edges serve as protection against trapping on shearing and crushing edges.
Thick to thin safety bumpers cushion the impact on transport vehicles and prevent collisions.
With wide to narrow pressure-sensitive mats with tactile surface sensors, operating personnel are warned if they have come too close to robots or machines. These security components are particularly suitable for use in dirty environments.
Bachofen has many years of experience in the field of tactile security systems. If you require a special solution, we are happy to offer advice and support for the development process in close collaboration with our technology partner, Mayser.
