Hazards and Protective Mechanisms
Safe operation of electro-pneumatic controls requires extensive safety mechanisms.

Hazards due to moving Machine and Plant Components
One major cause of danger is posed by moving machine and plant components such as cylinders, grippers, shafts, presses etc. In a pneumatic press, for example, it is necessary to ensure that no part of the operator's body (such as fingers) can become trapped in the machine. The following list summarises the relevant protective measures. |
