Machine safety, guard interlocks
Machine safety, guard interlocks
(OP)
My question specificaly is how do you determine if a safety guard on a machine requires an electrical interlock? Is it through risk assesment? if so, how? Is it if no tools are required to remove the guard? Any insight would be helpful. Also, references to specific standards that would outline this would also be helpful.
Thanks!
Thanks!

AB stuff is relabeled STI
As in all safety related products they are pricey.
Banner and Schmersal? provides the same products
As far as support the STI rep was a an OSHA rep so I got the benifit of the doubt that what was provided would pass safety committee in the plant. I guess thats a crap shoot on your rep.
