Machine safety training at the
customer’s premises
Festo Didactic has organised
comprehensive training courses
at Fill as a general contractor.
Other specialists and trainers
came from Siemens, Pilz,
SEW Eurodrive, Sick,
TÜV Austria Services and
IBF Automatisierungs- und
Sicherheitstechnik. The training
courses took place on site at
Fill’s technology park in the
north of Austria. That was a
major advantage for the
customer, as the employees did
not have to travel long distances
to and from a training location.
From standards to circuits
Selected targets of Fill’s training
concept included the ability to
understand and apply specific
standards, planning safe
electrical, hydraulic and
pneumatic circuits, using
software for optimal design,
programming safety-related
control units and creating and
dimensioning bus concepts – of
course all in the light of the new
EC Machinery Directive.
Rudolf Reiter, Head of Safety
Engineering at Fill: “Continuity of
evaluating safety functions
regardless of the technology and
energy used (electric, hydraulic,
pneumatic, mechanical, etc.)
was important for us and that
was completely achieved with
Festo’s fluid technical
background.”
“Thanks to the specific training
concept customised for Fill,
spread out over several weeks,
our employees are now perfectly
equipped for new safety
engineering requirements.”
