Product catalog summary
Approval of SITEMA Safety Catchers
This document certifies the approval of SITEMA Safety Catchers, types K and KR, for use as mechanical restraint devices in presses, in compliance with European Standard DIN EN 693. These devices are essential where there is a risk of injury from a gravity fall of the slide/ram, particularly in presses with significant opening stroke lengths and table depths.

Specifications and Standards
The SITEMA Safety Catchers comply with several standards, including DIN EN 693, DIN EN 692, DIN EN 12622, DIN EN 201, and DIN EN 289. The certifications are valid for a specific period, after which renewal is required.

Certification Details
Two certification numbers are provided: 02 023 for Safety Catchers type KR and 02 025 for type K. These certifications are issued by the Expert Committee for mechanical engineering and are valid until 01.10.2014.

Intended Use and Installation
The Safety Catchers are intended for use in mechanical, hydraulic, and folding presses, as well as injection moulding and rubber/plastics machines. The installation must adhere to the manufacturer's specifications and relevant product standards.

Testing and Compliance
The devices have been tested according to the basic principles for the testing and certification of presses and injection moulding machines. They conform to the EC Machinery Directives 98/37/EG and 2006/42/EG.

Recommendations for Manufacturers
Manufacturers must ensure the restraining device can support at least 1.5 to 2 times the weight of the load in the worst-case scenario. If no automatic device is provided for testing holding force, manufacturers must specify a testing deadline in the operating instructions.

Additional Remarks
The restraining device must be protected from high-viscosity lubricants or separating agents, and the holding force must be testable while installed.
