Optoelectronic sensor and safety technology specialist Leuze Electronic is to run its next free-of-charge ‘Introduction to machine safety’ training workshop at the offices of HMK Direct in Congleton, East Cheshire, on Tues 31 Jan.
Workshop presenter and technical support engineer at Leuze electronic, Kevin Ellison, says: “We have had a wide variety of people travel to our previous workshops at our office in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, including people from as far away as Cornwall and Aberdeen.
“The majority however have been from companies close to our office and so I am looking forward to meeting new people by taking the show on the road, so to speak”.
With its experience in automation, HMK Direct – the company providing the venue for the first of Leuze’s workshops to be held in England’s north west – is a Siemens Technology Partner for Safety, and works with Leuze Electronic to offer in-depth knowledge of machine safety legislation, issues and solutions.
Leuze Electronic MD Mark Weymouth says: “The Machine Safety market is complicated by some consultants who over-complicate the issues and create fear, and some suppliers who treat machine safety as a commodity product.
“These sessions are designed to show a different middle-way, with Leuze offering high performance products that are easy to install and use, combined with the expertise of Leuze and an automation expert like HMK Direct to support customers on their applications.”
Topics covered in the workshops will include: EN ISO 13849, CE & PUWER requirements; current and forthcoming legislation; standards and their implications; machine safety inspection; safety components; free tools and resources from Leuze Electronic.
