MINITEC PROFILE SYSTEM 559 SAVEGUARD COMPONENTS SAVEGUARD MiniTec Safety system SaveGuard Individual safety installations are a frequent application of the comprehensive MiniTec profile system. Our MiniTec CADmenue design software allows you to design and calculate separating safety installations within the shortest time. They are precisely adjusted to customer's needs, with high demands made on safety standards visual appearance. All components for designing individual protection fields, doors, lifting doors, sliding doors etc. are specified in our MiniTec Profile System main catalogue. The same components were used to develop our standardised modules which provide especially cost-effective solutions taking account of the standards 98/37/EG, EN ISO 12100-1 / EN ISO 12100-2 and EN 953. All components used meet the requirements of DIN EN ISO 10218-1. Separating safety installations must prevent access to the source of danger and at the same time protect against hurled-out parts, moving parts of machines and squirting liquids. The installation must be designed in such a way that it cannot be removed without tools. However, the dimensioning of the safety installation must at any rate be preceded by a risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100-1 by the manufacturer of the equipment. Safety Distances If corrugated mesh with a mesh width of 40 mm is used, then appropriate safety distances from the source of danger must be observed. The resulting distances are different if solid panel elements are used. The necessary safety distances for upper extremities are defined in EN 13857. Protection field Height: 2,000 mm Distance to dangerous area: 350 mm The safety distances for the lower extremities are defined in EN 811. The safety distance to the source of danger depends on the ground clearance of the protection field: Protection field Ground clearance: 180 mm Distance to dangerous area: 665 mm
