The European Machinery Directive and the Machinery Regulation that is replacing it require a risk analysis for every machine before being brought to market or after a modification. A key part of the risk analysis is the risk assessment. In addition to the legal fundamentals, various processes for the risk assessment are introduced and their properties explained in the following.
Thanks to an adjustable sound cone and small dead zone, the new Leuze ultrasonic sensors of the 420B and 412B series can be used for many different applications.
Hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes require sensors that meet the most stringent requirements. Leuze makes this possible with sensor series intended for the food industry and with its many years of application know-how.
Two new sensor series in miniature stainless steel housing: Leuze has developed the 53C and 55C series, especially for hygiene-sensitive production and packaging processes.
Many light types and compact housing: The new KRT 3C contrast sensor from Leuze can be flexibly integrated into packaging processes thanks to its multicolour capability and small size.
The AMS 100i from Leuze is one of the smallest laser positioning systems available on the market. This makes it the perfect solution for tight installation spaces.
