Machine-Safety Trainer Units
Do you need to train others on machine safeguarding concepts?
MPSA’s portable machine safety trainer uses six access points to teach students and personnel about compliant vs. non-compliant machine safeguarding methods.
Safety control components included:
- Programmable safety controller
- Safety light curtains
- Locking safety door interlock switch
- Non-locking, non-contact safety switch
- Positive force-guided relays (FGRs)
- Emergency stop
Demonstrates these key safeguarding concepts:
- Dual-channel redundancy of the emergency-stop circuit and the safety input/output devices
- Monitored reset of emergency stop circuit
- Reliable control of the motor
- Safe-distance calculation for safety light curtain placement
- Proper selection and placement of physical guarding
If you think you have implemented a safe and compliant safety control system, think again! Our safety trainer demonstrates how the improper selection or utilization of safety components can leave you with a non-compliant solution. Ask about purchasing one for your training needs.
Provide a compliant and safe working environment.
Take the first step. Ask MPSA to identify your machine safety and compliance issues. We can do the rest.
