Innovations in Robotics & Evolving Safety Standards
|
| Company: | Rockwell Automation |
| Major advances in microprocessor and artificial-intelligence techniques, along with innovations in automation and control systems, are ushering in a new age of robotics, in which once-futuristic visions are becoming realities. Despite these breakthrough applications – in areas ranging from manufacturing to medicine – robots carry risk. Without the proper precautions in place, a robot experiencing a fault or failure might cause serious injuries to people and damage to capital equipment in or around the work cell. |

Does Pentane Calibration truly provide increased safety?
|
| Company: | Draeger Safety Inc |
| Tom starts his work day by testing his portable gas monitor before the day’s use, just as he had for the past two years while working at the refinery. Applying a gas mixture of pentane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen, he made sure all the sensors were responding and the alarms working properly, just as the company procedure specifies. With all sensors testing ok, Tom moves on to his scheduled job of replacing a leaky pressure gauge in one of the vapor recovery units in the nearby production field.

The Myth of Free Air
|
| Company: | Lans Company |
| The air we breathe may be free, but the notion that this applies to the compressed air that drives processes and production tools is a myth that no plant can really afford. Although the costs of air compressors may appear minor when compared to pricey production equipment, inefficient or unreliable air systems may be stealing you blind in terms of electrical costs, maintenance, premature failures, and worst of all – unplanned downtime. |

Examining Robot Safety Standards
|
| Company: | Pilz Automation Safety LP |
| ANSI R15.06-1999 is the accepted American National Standards Institute standard covering safety requirements for industrial robots and robot systems. Speaking of safety, it’s safe to say that many end users or systems integrators simply assume that any new robots or systems automatically meet this standard, when in reality, regularly reviewing how the standard applies to your manufacturing operation can be very beneficial, even in non-robotic applications. |

Wide-Area Dispersion Speakers and the Benefits of a Line Array
|
| Company: | Federal Signal Corp Electrical Products |
| With an ever increasing emphasis placed on plant safety and protection among manufacturers and processors, there has been a heightening awareness of the issues surrounding the clarity of industrial public address systems. Demonstrating this building awareness and an interest in clearly defining desirable PA outputs, the National Fire and Protection Agency (NFPA) has in fact developed a guideline for intelligibility, and the creation of an intelligibility standard is currently under consideration by the agency. |
