Machine Safety
Machine safety in pneumatics
In practice, you can hardly avoid safety issues relating to pneumatic components, such as technical documentation or risk assessment. The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as the basis for the functional safety of machinery is the authoritative guideline, and the harmonized standard EN ISO 13849 is also relevant. The good news: Festo is a competent partner to help in all cases.
In our large selection of helpful webinars, you will definitely learn how:
Machine safety - using pneumatic vertical axes safely
Safety – Centralized and decentralized solutions in practical implementation
Reliable safety technology is of great importance in factory automation and the process industry. Machines must be designed in such a way that people, animals and property as well as the environment are protected from damage. In our webinar, we will clearly demonstrate the advantages of centralized and decentralized solution approaches using the example of pneumatic transfer of small components. In this very practical workshop, our experienced application engineers Bastian Behnke and Hans-Jürgen Fritz will show you the advantages of different strategies, both in the implementation of safety functions and the selection of control components.
Learn more about:
- Centralized vs. decentralized - differences in direct comparison
- Individual, practical solutions for pneumatic safety technology-
- Advantages and disadvantages of different installation concepts

Safe stopping of pneumatic vertical movements - implementing SSC correctly
Pneumatic vertical movements place high demands on machine safety. Without suitable protection, uncontrolled movements can occur that endanger processes and safety. Classic solutions such as 5/3 directional control valves or pilot-operated non-return valves offer a shut-off function, but also have their weaknesses - especially when it comes to diagnostics. Faults often go unnoticed. With the new VBOC shut-off valves, Festo is setting new standards in the safe shut-off and monitoring of pneumatic movements.

Machine safety – Evaluate and safely design follow-up times in pneumatics
Follow-up times in pneumatics have a significant impact on machine safety – especially in applications with open access where moving parts must come to a standstill quickly. In many cases, it is only after installation that it becomes apparent that the response times are too long. This leads to safety-critical situations and costly adjustments.
Festo provides practical components and comprehensive expertise to help you identify safety-related factors at an early stage and reliably safeguard pneumatic functions.
