Sicherheitsaspekte im TS-Anlagenbau (Safety Aspects in Designing TS-Equipment)

The EC Machine Directive entails consequences in correlation for mechanical engineering in general with regarding the safety for people and for the environment. A few components which should be taken into consideration for the safe operation of thermal-spraying installations are explained in the contribution. The technical functioning and working modes of gas warning sensors, return protective devices and a programmable controller as a possible safety device are described. The objective is to awaken a certain degree of sensitisation on the part of the practice-oriented user to indispensable safety components in modern spraying-installation technology.
