Plant safety is vitally important for the safe operation of technical plants. As a machine manufacturer or operator you are legally obliged to ensure the safety of plant, machinery and devices. Training teaches you to identify risks and avoid accidents. Further training for safety officers and employees is the key to success here. With this knowledge you can operate plants more efficiently and safely carry out maintenance work. By integrating plant safety into your company you are demonstrating responsibility and increasing the confidence of authorities, employees and the public. Plant safety also contributes towards the prevention of environmental pollution and damage.
An increasingly networked world places new demands on automation and those who work with it. Our subsidiaries all over the world support you with training at the same level globally and in your local language. Of course, our training courses consider not just international norms and standards but also national requirements for machinery safety: that way you are always on the safe side, anywhere in the world!
All international training courses are displayed in the global section of the website. If you have selected a country, all national and international training courses in this country will be displayed.

With training on Industrial Security you learn how to minimise vulnerabilities and therefore protect your machinery. Be aware of your responsibilities and acquire expert knowledge of the standard.
The safe small controllers PNOZmulti are used to monitor E-STOPs, safety gates, safety light curtains, two-hand pushbuttons, speed, standstill, position, analogue values, press safety valves and much more.
PNOZmulti small controllers make design, configuration, documentation and commissioning simple. Easy diagnostic solutions reduce standstill times on your plant or machine. Our user-friendly software tools are available to you to do this.
Movable guards such as swing gates and sliding gates, flaps or covers, can be found in almost every application. If there are dangerous overrun movements, a safety locking device with appropriate manipulation protection in accordance with EN ISO 14119 is required.
The safety gate cannot be opened until all hazardous machine movements are stopped. A restart is not possible until the safety gate is closed and locked. It must not be possible to either defeat or manipulate the safeguards.
Are you looking for the right safeguard for your movable guard? The question regarding the type of safeguard, the required locking device and the performance level are the basis for selecting the right safety locking device:
Is it an accessible or a non-accessible safeguard? Accessible safeguards are generally larger swing and sliding gates; non-accessible safeguards are covers or flaps, for example.
The question regarding the type of guard locking depends on the stopping time. If the time to reach the danger zone is longer than the stopping time, process guarding is sufficient. If the intervention time is shorter than the stopping time, however, safe guard locking (personnel protection) is required.
The level of protection is defined in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 or EN 62061. The key factors for this calculation, for example, are the severity of the potential injuries, frequency of exposure to the risk and ability to avoid the risks.
We offer a versatile portfolio of safety locking devices to safeguard movable guards. They provide economical and effective monitoring of doors in safety fences, as well as covers and flaps:
Reliable and efficient protection of safeguards includes not only the safety locking device but also an additional control unit and suitable wiring and control technology. Pilz safety sensors can be connected in series and are compatible with other products and interfaces. They perfectly fit into their plant environment and also enable Pilz components to be retrofitted to your plant.
The safety locking device PSENmech offers an economical solution for safe monitoring of movable guards. The safety gate is securely locked until the hazardous machine movement has stopped. An unintended restart of the hazardous movement is prevented as long as the gate is open.
