Bad Design Brings Press to a Crushing Halt
A lack of proper machine safety often results in very real, very unfortunate consequences.

In Bad Design Brings Press to a Crushing Halt published in a recent issue of Machine Design magazine, read of how inadequate punch press safety measures cost one worker her fingers - and consider the significance of ensuring machine safety for your plant personnel.




Quickly and Easily Guard Multiple Irregularly Shaped Hazardous Areas
The OS3101 OptoShield from Omron STI is the most intuitive, easy to use, advanced laser scanner available today.

The OS3101 uses harmless laser light to sense an intrusion into a guarded area, and can be configured to guard multiple irregularly shaped hazardous areas making it an excellent choice for safeguarding work cells, transfer lines, robot stations and automated guided vehicles. And with its patented intrusion indicators, the OS3101 OptoShield is uniquely capable among laser scanners of providing instant visual feedback that allows personnel to quickly identify the intrusion and immediately clear it.

Programmers love it for the intuitive configuration software. Operators love it for its efficiency. You'll love it for its non-intrusive versatility in safeguarding dangerous areas and access points.

System of Standards for Machinery Safety
How familiar are you with the system of standards for machine safety?

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) prepares international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) prepares international standards for all technologies other than electrical and electronic technologies (machinery and management). European countries often take the initiative in proposing the standards and establishing them as ISO/IEC international standards.

So how does this impact you? Learn more about the significance of understanding and rightly responding to machine and device design standards in Omron STI's 10-page guide to Safety Requirements .



Did You Know?
Did you know that for any machine safeguarding assessment order placed with Omron STI through November 2009, we will cut the assessment cost in half? Additionally, if an order for the implementation of corrective action (based on the assessment) is placed by December 31, 2009, Omron STI will credit the remaining 50% of the assessment price, resulting in a completely free assessment.
