You probably know about light curtains, safety door switches, safety relays, etc. Because when considering machine safety, we usually think about electrical safety. But what about your output devices, like hydraulics, pneumatics, and other control devices?
Looking at industries today, more than 60% of our machines involve other energies besides electrical energy. You don't have a complete safety solution unless all hazardous energies are managed (leaving you open for injuries and citations).
That's why machine safety doesn't end at the wire. In fact, machine safety risk reduction measures are very similar for both electrical and fluid power energies. Hybrid safety solutions use a combination of electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical, and fluid-power devices to control all hazardous energy sources. In this webinar, you will learn about hybrid machine safety solutions so you can ensure all of your machines' hazardous energies are controlled.
By attending this webinar, you'll have the tools needed to apply machine safety holistically, meet required safety standards, and reduce the risk of injuries, regardless of hazardous energy type.
