Seminar
“Safe switching technology
for maintenance technicians (P141)”
Seminar
“Safety-relevant circuits in pneumatics and
electro-pneumatics for vocational training
(SAFETY-AL)”
70
Participants will be able to
troubleshoot, repair and
recommission systems, taking
into consideration the applicable
safety regulations and safety
measures. To this end they learn
about the respective control
categories and their stipulations.
They observe the potential
hazards in pneumatic circuits
and choose the right spare parts.
In this way they acquire the
knowledge they need to observe
the applicable safety
specifications in their working
environment.
Content:
• Introduction to safety
engineering and
EN ISO 13849-1
• Fundamental and proven
safety principles for
pneumatics
• Control and stop categories
and their effects
• Safe handling of potential
dangers in pneumatic circuits
• Selected safety measures of
safety-oriented pneumatics
(unexpected restart; blocking,
braking and reversing of
movements; switching off
power and free mobility/
reduced force and speed;
two-hand operation)
• Explaining and eliminating
errors in safety-related circuits
• Selecting the right spare parts
by taking the failure
characteristics into account
• Safe pressurisation and
exhausting of drives and
systems
• Influences of the overtravel
time of pneumatic drives on
the working range of safe light
barriers
• Safe handling of brakes and
clamps
• Practical exercises
Target group: maintenance
employees and mechanics and
electricians
Duration: 4 days
After this seminar, participants
can teach their trainees the core
and specialised skills required in
the training curriculum with a
focus on safety engineering,
preparing them ideally for the
vocational qualification
examinations. They will be
familiar with the standards and
regulations which must be
observed and can apply them
in their training and when
supervising trainees as part of
their company responsibilities.
Content:
• Directives and standards on
safety in machine construction
• Structure of safety-related
circuits to EN ISO 13849-1
• Terms in EN ISO 13849-1
• Fundamental and proven
safety principles of
pneumatics per
DIN EN ISO 13849-2
• Selected safety measures of
safety-oriented pneumatics
(unexpected restart/blocking,
braking and reversing of
movements; switching off
power and free mobility/
reduced force and speed;
two-hand operation)
• Methodical and learning-
oriented implementation tools
for trainers in the business
process
• Information on producing
documentation and test
reports required in accordance
with the training plan, which
are a part of the final
examination
• Practical exercises, structure,
tests and troubleshooting
Target group: all trainers and
company supervisors in the
metal and electronics industries
or in mechatronic engineering
