FURTHER TRAINING IN
MACHINE SAFETY
KNOW-HOW AS A FACTOR FOR SUCCESS
Compliance with standards made simple: Be on the safe side!
Machine safety is nothing new: Manufacturers and operators of machines and plants as well as their suppliers have to know and implement a multitude of legal and normative requirements. Ensuring precisely this functional safety for machines requires practical knowledge on the part of all parties involved, from management to developers and designers, and through to maintenance workers and the safety specialists deployed in the company. This sounds like a real challenge, but it can also be easy – with us.

BASIC COURSES ON STANDARDS AND LIABILITY ISSUES
The most important basics taught in a practical manner: CE conformity and the corresponding requirements play an important role not only in machine operation, but also in machine sales. In our basic seminars, we convey the principle of functional safety, the standards and laws based on it, and the individual steps to achieving CE conformity in a way that is appropriate for the target group.
MACHINERY DIRECTIVE, CE DECLARATIONS OF CONFORMITY, AND LIABILITY ISSUES
Formale Fragen rund um die Maschinensicherheit aus Sicht des Managements und Einkaufs beantworten wir kompakt und verständlich in der Weiterbildung zur Maschinensicherheit „Maschinenrichtline, CE-Konformitätserklärungen und Haftungsfragen“.
We answer formal questions about machine safety from the perspective of management and purchasing teams in a compact and understandable way in our machine safety training program “Maschinenrichtline, CE-Konformitätserklärungen und Haftungsfragen”.
BASICS OF FUNCTIONAL SAFETY
For safety officers and managers without prior knowledge, we havedeveloped the machine safety training course "Fundamentals of Functional Safety", which provides a basic understanding of functional safety as well as an overview of the most important standards and terms in just one day.
RETROFITTING OLD MACHINERY AND MAJOR CHANGES
What needs to be considered when modifying and retrofitting machines with regard to the CE declaration and how linking machinery affects their CE are topics that are covered in the course “Retrofitting old machinery and major changes”.
SAFETY CONCEPT, VERIFICATION, AND VALIDATION
Calculate hardware, validate software: The software wizard SISTEMA (safety of controls on machines) enables developers and testers of safety-related machine controls to evaluate the machine safety in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1. Likewise, the software tool Softema provides help with validation and ensures a structured work process.
DESIGN OF SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND CALCULATION WITH SISTEMA
In our machine safety training course “Design of safety functions and calculation with SISTEMA”, you will learn in one day how to model and evaluate the safety of your own machine in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 using SISTEMA.
VALIDATION OF SAFETY USER SOFTWARE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND PLANT CONSTRUCTION
The machine safety training course “Validation of safety user software in mechanical engineering and plant construction” conveys the work required in software validation in a practice-oriented manner and addresses the typical characteristics of development environments in relation to the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1.
SAFETY IN MACHINE OPERATION
Plant safety and machine safety are crucial for safe, trouble-free operation. For new machines and plants, safety is guaranteed by a CE marking, but after many years of operation or a conversion, the question arises:
How safe are your machines?
RETROFITTING OLD MACHINERY AND MAJOR CHANGES
In the retrofit training covering major changes, impact of interlinked machines, and documentation of retrofitting measures, you will receive the latest information on the CE declaration after retrofitting measures and will learn how to preserve the validity of the old certification so that recertification is not required.
TESTING OF OPTOELECTRONIC PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
The legal and normative principles for the design and correct testing of electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE) are taught by our experienced trainers in the machine safety training course “Testing of optoelectronic protective equipment”. In this compact machine safety training program, you will not only gain sound theoretical knowledge, but also have the opportunity to practice initial and recurring testing and evaluation of the functional safety of optoelectronic protective equipment.
SOFTWARE COURSE ON SAMOS® PLAN 6
Standards-compliant programming of safety functions: In the one-day training courses, you will learn how to efficiently operate and use the samos® PRO safety controller with many practical examples . Designing, programming, verifying and validating safety functions: Do you already know and use all the features of the most compact, modular and programmable safety control for machine and plant engineering?
