Yes. Prazamana combines engineering services such as risk assessment, CE marking, testing and training with its own safety products and manufactured safety fencing. This lets one team assess a machine, design the safety solution, and help you validate it.

Prazamana focuses on regulated manufacturing environments, where machines must meet formal safety requirements. Its projects include robotic cells, press machines, welding cells and conveyor systems. If you work in a specific sector, share your application through the Request a Call page and the team will confirm how they can help.

Prazamana's work includes robotic cells, welding cells, conveyor systems, press machines, and other machine and equipment zones. Its safety fencing is also used in data centres and around warehouse pallet racking.

Yes. Its guarding is configured to your machine cell or line rather than supplied in fixed catalogue sizes, and Custom Guarding covers straight, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts and hazard points on individual machines. Project solutions are based on a risk assessment of your specific machine.

Prazamana works with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU.

Yes. Prazamana offers end-to-end CE marking support: identifying the applicable directives and harmonised standards, checking whether a notified body is needed, testing and verifying conformity, preparing the technical documentation, and affixing the CE marking with the EU Declaration of Conformity. Its engineering team includes TÜV-certified functional safety engineers.

Yes. Machine risk assessment covers new, refurbished and relocated machinery, and Prazamana has upgraded the safety of existing equipment such as robotic cells and press machines using fencing, light curtains, safety PLC systems and emergency stops.

Support is part of the project process, which ends with installation and support after testing and quality check. For ongoing needs such as inspections, changes or training, contact the team through the Contact page to discuss what suits your site.

Prazamana is based in Pune and says it aims to deliver machine safety and compliance solutions globally. Its CE marking service is aimed at machinery going to the EU market, and it has carried out machine safety audits for global projects. Please contact the team to discuss your location and requirements.

Rather than only supplying products, Prazamana follows a full process: assess the machine, design the solution, implement it and validate it. It manufactures its own safety fences and electrical panels, and its engineering team includes TÜV-certified functional safety engineers, so risk assessment, design and compliance are handled together.

Machine guarding is a physical barrier that restricts access to hazardous machine zones and keeps people away from moving parts while the machine is running. It matters because unguarded machinery exposes nearby personnel to injuries ranging from cuts and abrasions to severe crushing. Prazamana's guarding is built on the modular Safe Fix system, with posts and panels configured to your machine cell or production line rather than a fixed catalogue size.

The Machine Guarding range has four parts: the Metal Series (robust mesh guarding for demanding environments), the Polycarbonate Series (clear guarding that combines visibility with safety), the Polycarbonate + Metal (Hybrid) Series that mixes both, and Accessories that complete and connect the system, such as doors, brackets, posts and locks. Guards are available in mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium. Custom Guarding is also available for straight, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts.

There is no single best guard for every machine. The right choice depends on the hazard, how and how often people need access, how the machine operates, whether you need to see the process, maintenance needs and the applicable standards. The usual starting point is a risk assessment, and Prazamana offers Machine Risk Assessment in line with ISO 12100:2010. You can also describe your machine through the Request a Call page, and the team will recommend a guarding approach.

Prazamana's machine guarding is used around robotic cells, welding cells, conveyor systems and other machine and equipment zones. It protects against contact with moving or hazardous parts, including pinch, nip, shear and crushing points, depending on the machine. The guard type and layout are chosen to suit the hazard and how people need to work around the machine.

Yes. The system is configured to your cell or line rather than supplied in fixed catalogue sizes. Panels are engineered around the application, access and safety requirements, with heights from 1000 mm to 2600 mm, widths from 200 mm to 1500 mm, a choice of mesh sizes (20 × 100, 25 × 25, 25 × 75 and 50 × 50 mm), three materials and a powder-coated finish.

Yes. Because the guarding is a separate modular fence configured around the machine cell or line, it does not depend on the machine being new. Prazamana has upgraded the safety of existing equipment such as robotic cells and press machines. For existing, refurbished or relocated machines, Prazamana recommends starting with a site assessment and a machine risk assessment so the guarding addresses the hazards actually present.

Yes. The range includes hinge doors, sliding doors and sliding doors with an upper guide. For machine safety integration, a Mechanical Lock (a guard-locking interlock with a choice of switch brands: Euchner, Leuze, Pilz, Pizzato or Schmersal) can be fitted so the guard and the machine's safety circuit work together. A Smart Pole with E-Stop, reset, stop and start buttons can be placed where a cell needs local controls. The final arrangement depends on your risk assessment and the machine's control system.

Prazamana's guarding is designed against the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, with EN ISO 14120 as the guard fencing standard and ISO 13857 for safety distances. Risk assessment follows ISO 12100:2010. The guarding is listed as third-party tested. The exact requirements for your machine depend on the application, the machine and where it is used, so please ask the team for documentation for your configuration.

Yes. Guarding is often one layer of a wider safety system. Prazamana's Safety Devices range includes sensors, relays, controllers and emergency stops, and its 3D Radar Sensor can detect presence and trigger a slowdown, warning or stop. On past projects, fencing has been combined with light curtains, Safety PLC systems and emergency-stop controls. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment.

Yes. Prazamana handles the full project: requirement analysis, design and engineering, manufacturing, testing and quality check, and installation and support. It can also support the project with machine risk assessment, CE marking and safety training.

Prazamana works in four stages: assess, design, implement and validate. The machine is first assessed to identify and rank its hazards (following ISO 12100:2010). The guard is then designed against those hazards and the relevant standards, manufactured, tested and installed. For example, one robotic cell project started from six identified hazards and ended with a fully interlocked Safety PLC system.

The Metal Series is Prazamana's mesh machine guarding, built from the modular Safe Fix system. It uses posts and mesh panels in mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium, and is configured to your machine cell or line rather than supplied in a fixed catalogue size. It is robust guarding for demanding machine environments and comes in Light, Medium and Heavy series.

Yes. The system is modular and configured to the cell or line, so panel sizes and arrangement are chosen to suit your machine and space. Doors, brackets and other accessories from the Machine Guarding range can be added, and for more unusual shapes, Custom Guarding offers straight, L-shaped and U-shaped layouts.

The Metal Series is designed against the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, with EN ISO 14120 as the guard fencing standard and ISO 13857 for safety distances. It is listed as third-party tested, and its compliance basis is shared with the wider Safety Fence line. Please ask the team for documentation for your specific configuration.

Three weight options are available: Light, Medium and Heavy. Each can be selected in mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium, and the selector on the page shows the frame, pole and mesh grid for each combination.

Mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, finished in powder coating.

Mesh sizes of 20 × 100 mm, 25 × 25 mm, 25 × 75 mm and 50 × 50 mm are listed. The mesh opening is chosen together with the guard's height and distance from the hazard, in line with safety distance requirements.

The configuration shown lists a 20 × 20 frame and a 40 × 40 pole. Use the weight and material selector on the page to see the specification for your choice.

Heights range from 1000 mm to 2600 mm and widths from 200 mm to 1500 mm.

Safety distances are considered in line with ISO 13857, which sets out how far a guard must be from a hazard and how large its openings can be so people cannot reach into the danger zone. Mesh size, guard height and distance are chosen together for your machine.

Yes. Because it is a modular fence configured around the cell or line, it can be used with new or existing machines. A site assessment and machine risk assessment are recommended to confirm the layout.

The Polycarbonate Series is Prazamana's clear machine guarding, built from the modular Safe Fix system. Polycarbonate panels sit between mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium posts and are configured to your machine cell or line rather than supplied in a fixed catalogue size, giving visibility together with physical protection.

Polycarbonate panels are clear, so operators and supervisors can see the machine and process while the guard still keeps people physically away from the hazard. This is useful where visual monitoring matters, such as inspection, set-up or training areas. If part of your guard needs to be solid mesh, the Polycarbonate + Metal (Hybrid) Series combines both.

The configuration shown lists polycarbonate at 3 mm thickness. If your application needs a different thickness, please share the details with the Prazamana team.

The series comes in Light, Medium and Heavy weights, each in mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium. The selector on the page shows the frame, pole and polycarbonate specification for each combination.

The configuration shown lists a 20 × 20 frame and a 40 × 40 pole. Use the weight and material selector on the page to see the specification for your choice.

Yes. It is configured to your cell or line rather than supplied in fixed sizes, and can be arranged to fit your machine and space. For more unusual shapes, Custom Guarding offers straight, L-shaped and U-shaped layouts.

Heights range from 1000 mm to 2600 mm and widths from 200 mm to 1500 mm.

The series is designed against the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, with EN ISO 14120 as the guard fencing standard and ISO 13857 for safety distances. It is listed as third-party tested. Please ask the team for documentation for your specific configuration.

Yes. It is a modular fence configured around the cell or line, so it can be used with new or existing machines. A site assessment and machine risk assessment are recommended to confirm the layout.

Yes. The guarding can be paired with other parts of the range, such as mesh sections in the Hybrid Series and doors and gates from the Accessories range, and with safety devices such as interlocks, light curtains and emergency stops where the risk assessment calls for them.

The Polycarbonate + Metal Series, also called the Hybrid Series, is built from the modular Safe Fix system. It uses an aluminium or metal frame fitted with mesh, polycarbonate or sheet panels, or a mix of them, in mild steel or stainless steel finishes, and is configured to your machine cell or line.

Yes. That is the purpose of this series. For example, the Half Mesh / Half Polycarbonate panel pairs a mesh section with a clear section in the same guard.

Two panel types are listed: Half Mesh / Half Polycarbonate and Slot Polycarbonate. Each is available with a mild steel or stainless steel finish.

You can choose an Aluminium Frame or a Metal Fence Assembly.

Yes. Like the rest of the range, it is configured to your cell or line rather than supplied in fixed catalogue sizes, so frame, panel type and layout can be matched to your machine. For more unusual shapes, Custom Guarding offers straight, L-shaped and U-shaped layouts.

The series is designed against the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, with EN ISO 14120 as the guard fencing standard and ISO 13857 for safety distances. It is listed as third-party tested. Please ask the team for documentation for your specific configuration.

Mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium, with a powder-coated finish. The frame is aluminium or metal, and the panels are available in mild steel or stainless steel finishes.

Mesh sizes of 20 × 100 mm, 25 × 25 mm, 25 × 75 mm and 50 × 50 mm are listed.

Heights range from 1000 mm to 2600 mm and widths from 200 mm to 1500 mm.

A hybrid guard lets you place clear panels where you need to see the process, such as inspection or monitoring points, and mesh where visibility is less important. This gives one consistent guard that suits each part of the machine.

Custom guarding means physical guards designed for a specific machine, layout or hazard point, rather than selected from standard panel arrangements. It acts as a first line of defence for people in the immediate work area. It is needed when a machine has broader guarding but individual hazard points are still exposed or hard to reach safely, or when the machine or space does not suit a standard fence layout.

Yes. This is one of the main reasons to choose custom guarding. The modular Safe Fix posts and panels can be arranged in straight, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts and configured to the footprint of the machine or cell, so the guard follows the machine instead of forcing the machine to fit a standard fence.

Yes. Custom guarding starts with a requirement analysis of the site and application, covering the machine, available space, operational needs and safety considerations. The guard is then designed to fit around the existing equipment and its surroundings.

Custom guarding addresses localised hazard points such as nip points (for example flywheels, pulleys and belts), pinch points, shear points, flying debris and exposed power transmission components. It can also be used to guard whole machine cells and equipment zones, such as robotic cells, press machines and conveyor systems, to match the facility footprint.

Yes. Access points can be included where people need to enter for operation, cleaning or maintenance, using hinge doors, sliding doors or sliding doors with an upper guide. Safety devices can be added too, such as a Mechanical Lock (a guard-locking interlock with a choice of Euchner, Leuze, Pilz, Pizzato or Schmersal switches) and a Smart Pole with E-Stop and start, stop and reset buttons. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment.

It can be designed to work with your existing setup. Compatibility depends on the machine's current safety circuit and devices, so these are reviewed during the requirement analysis before the guard and any gate devices are specified. On past projects, Prazamana has combined fencing with interlocks, light curtains, Safety PLC systems and emergency-stop controls.

Yes. Mesh panels keep a view of the machine, polycarbonate panels give a clear view where visibility matters most, and the Hybrid Series combines the two. Doors and gates can be placed where operators and maintenance staff need access, so the guard does not get in the way of day-to-day work.

Custom guarding uses the same Safe Fix system as the rest of the range: mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium, with mesh, polycarbonate or hybrid panels, in a powder-coated finish. Layouts can be straight, L-shaped or U-shaped, with heights from 1000 mm to 2600 mm and widths from 200 mm to 1500 mm, and a choice of mesh sizes.

The process starts with a requirement analysis of your site and application, including operational requirements, safety considerations and project scope. Prazamana then carries out design and engineering, selecting the layout, materials and components, followed by manufacturing, testing and quality check, and installation and support. A machine risk assessment (ISO 12100:2010) can be used to identify the hazards the guard must address.

Yes. Prazamana follows a five-step process: requirement analysis, design and engineering, manufacturing, testing and quality check, and installation and support. Machine risk assessment and CE marking support are also available.

Data center guarding is modular perimeter fencing that creates physical boundaries around critical areas and separates authorised personnel from critical infrastructure. It helps reduce accidental interference with servers, cabling and other sensitive equipment, and defines restricted zones clearly. Layouts are configured to the facility's controlled zones rather than a fixed shape.

It can be used around server racks and sensitive equipment, around cables and operations to reduce accidental interference, and around restricted areas within a data centre or other infrastructure facility.

The objective is different. Machine guarding keeps people away from moving or hazardous machine parts. Data center guarding is mainly about separating people from critical infrastructure and protecting equipment from accidental contact. The design therefore has to consider restricted access, visibility, airflow, maintenance access, cable routes and coordination with the facility's access controls. The physical fence defines the boundary, while electronic access control is a separate layer, and the two can be planned to work together.

Prazamana provides modular mesh perimeter fencing that creates controlled zones around data centre equipment. The panels are high-impact resistant and assembled from modular components, and the layout is configured to your facility. Other parts of the Safety Fence range, such as Custom Guarding layouts and door accessories, can also be considered where a site needs them.

Yes. The modular design is tailored to your zones, equipment layouts and access requirements, with custom heights up to floor-to-roof. You can describe your layout through the Request a Call page, and the team will propose a configuration.

The system is built from modular components designed for rapid, straightforward assembly, which suits work around existing equipment. For a live facility, the installation sequence, working areas and site rules are planned with your team at the requirement-analysis stage, so please share your operating constraints when you enquire.

Prazamana's Safety Fence range includes hinge doors and sliding doors, and the fencing supports controlled access through defined physical boundaries. The fence and the electronic access control system are two separate layers: the fence provides the physical barrier and door, and the access control system decides who may open it. Whether a door can be connected to your existing system, for example with an electronic lock or card reader, depends on that system, so please share its details with the team so they can confirm what is feasible.

Yes. The fencing is made of open mesh panels, which keep a line of sight into the protected area and allow air to pass. Mesh size, panel layout and access points can be chosen to balance protection with visibility, airflow and day-to-day maintenance access. The exact arrangement is confirmed per site.

Data centre guarding is made from mild steel with a powder-coated finish. Mesh sizes of 20 × 100 mm, 25 × 25 mm, 25 × 75 mm and 50 × 50 mm are available, with custom floor-to-roof heights and widths from 1000 mm to 1500 mm. Panels are arranged to suit your controlled zones and equipment layout.

Yes. Prazamana handles the full project: requirement analysis, design and engineering, manufacturing, testing and quality check, and installation and support.

Rack back protection is a wire mesh guard that bolts onto the back of pallet rack uprights, closing the gap behind stored goods. It is made from mild steel with a welded frame and 50 × 50 mm mesh. It matters because falling or shifting items are a real hazard in busy aisles, and the guard helps keep stock from landing where people work. It is designed for warehouse pallet racking, not IT server racks.

It helps prevent stored goods from falling or shifting out of the back of the rack into aisles or adjacent areas where people are working. It also helps keep inventory contained within the rack.

Yes. The back guards are designed to bolt directly onto existing pallet rack uprights, without complicated retrofitting.

It is used on pallet racking in warehouses and storage areas, especially where the back of the racking faces a busy aisle or work area.

Yes. Back guards are matched to your racking, so share your rack bay width, upright spacing and height and the team will propose a suitable configuration.

Rack Back Protect is made from mild steel, with a welded steel frame and 50 × 50 mm wire mesh. It bolts onto the back of pallet rack uprights, and the layout is matched to your rack.

Yes. The guard is fitted to the back of the rack, so loading and unloading from the aisle side is not affected, and it bolts on without major modification. Fire protection arrangements such as sprinklers and flue spaces should be reviewed during planning, and we can discuss this with you.

The open mesh lets you see stock and the rack structure from the rear, and because the guards are bolted on, they can be unbolted if a section of the rack needs inspection, repair or adjustment. Please tell the team about your inspection routine when you enquire so the layout can allow for it.

The requirements depend on your rack system, loading conditions, location and local regulations, so there is no single standard that covers every installation. Rack Back Protect is listed as third-party tested. Please share your rack details and the team will advise on the requirements that apply to your site, and you should also check any guidance from your rack manufacturer.

Yes. Prazamana manages the whole project, from requirement analysis and design through manufacturing, testing and quality check, to installation and support.

A 3D radar safety sensor uses radar to detect the presence and motion of people, vehicles or machinery in a monitored area, helping reduce collision and contact risk. Prazamana's sensor uses 24–24.25 GHz FMCW radar to watch a configurable 3D volumetric zone. When something is detected in the zone, it triggers a safety response: a warning, a slowdown or a full stop before contact occurs.

Typical applications include collision avoidance, door and gate control, human presence detection, and equipment and vehicle operation safety. It can be used around machines and in areas where people and moving equipment share space.

As a general rule, no. A radar sensor detects presence and triggers a response, but it is not a physical barrier, so it cannot stop ejected parts or debris or keep people from reaching a hazard. Whether it can reduce or replace guarding in a particular case is decided by the machine risk assessment. In many applications it is used alongside guarding rather than instead of it.

The sensor detects up to 9 m, with standard variants covering 0–5 m. The monitored zone is volumetric, up to 30° vertical by 110° horizontal, and is configurable for the application.

The sensor detects people, vehicles and machinery moving within the monitored zone. The monitored zone is set up for your application. For details of how the sensor classifies different types of objects, please ask the team for the product datasheet.

Yes. Radar detection is reliable through dust, dirt, rain, light, sparks and vibration, which can affect other sensing technologies. For specific ratings such as IP protection or operating temperature, please check with the team for your installation conditions.

The sensor offers Ethernet, PROFIsafe and FSoE interfaces, so it can be connected to compatible PLCs and safety controllers. Compatibility depends on your controller and network, so share your system details with the team and they will confirm how to connect it.

Yes. Radar sensing works well as one layer of a wider safety system. Prazamana's range includes Machine Guarding, and Safety Devices such as sensors, relays, controllers and emergency stops that are designed to work together as one system. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment.

The sensor is mounted on an adjustable bracket, and its 3D monitoring zone is configured for the area to be protected. The zone size and the response (warning, slowdown or stop) are chosen from the risk assessment of your application. Share your layout and requirements through the Request a Call page, and the team will advise on the setup.

Prazamana lists the sensor as achieving up to SIL 2, Performance Level d and Category 3, which are safety classifications used in IEC 62061 and EN ISO 13849-1. The achieved level in a real installation depends on how the sensor is applied and connected in the machine's safety function. Please ask the team for the product certificates and datasheet for your configuration.

Machine safety devices are the sensors, relays, controllers and emergency stops that detect a hazard, process the signal and stop the machine, or let a person stop it manually. They matter because physical guarding alone cannot cover every situation, such as access points, moving equipment or maintenance entry. Prazamana's range is designed to work together as one machine safety system rather than as isolated parts.

The range includes safety laser scanners for stationary or mobile danger zones, advanced Type 4 light curtains (30 mm resolution for hand protection), safe radar sensors for danger-zone and rear-access monitoring, safety switches (mechanical and non-contact coded) for movable guards and gates, safety and protection relays, and failsafe PLC controllers that combine safety and standard control. Emergency stops complete the range.

The right device depends on the hazard, how people access the machine, the environment, and the safety level required. A risk assessment is the best starting point, and Prazamana offers Machine Risk Assessment in line with ISO 12100:2010. You can also describe your machine through the Request a Call page, and the team will recommend suitable devices.

Safety switches monitor movable guards and safety gates. Light curtains protect openings and access points such as hand-entry areas. Laser scanners cover floor areas, including the path ahead of an AGV or mobile robot. Radar sensors monitor danger zones and rear access, including in harsh environments. Emergency stops give operators a direct manual stop, and relays and safety PLCs process these signals in the control system.

Each device has a distinct role: sensing a hazard, processing that signal, or providing a direct manual stop. Sensing devices such as light curtains, scanners, radar sensors and safety switches detect a person or an open guard. Safety relays or a failsafe PLC process the signal and, if needed, send a stop command to the machine's control or power circuit. Emergency stops act as a direct manual input to the same system.

In most cases yes, but it depends on the machine's existing controls and safety circuit. Prazamana's failsafe PLC can combine safety and standard control, and devices such as relays can be added to an existing safety circuit. Share your machine and control system details and the team will advise how to integrate.

Yes, and this is the usual approach. Fencing keeps people physically away from the hazard, while devices such as safety switches, light curtains, radar sensors and emergency stops control the access points and stop the machine when needed. On past projects, Prazamana has combined fencing with light curtains, Safety PLC systems and emergency-stop controls.

Standards depend on the device. Safety switches for guards are built to the tamper-protection requirements of EN ISO 14119, the light curtain is Type 4, and risk assessment follows ISO 12100:2010. The applicable standards and certificates differ by device and model, so please ask the team for datasheets and certificates for the devices you need.

Both. Individual safety devices are available on their own, and Prazamana also provides complete solutions through its machine guarding and safety fencing, together with risk assessment, CE marking and safety training. Ask the team about availability and specifications for the devices you need.

Prazamana has delivered safety upgrades that combine fencing, light curtains, interlocks, Safety PLC systems and emergency stops on robotic cells and press machines. If you need help with installation and integration, contact the team through the Contact page to discuss the scope for your site.

A safety laser scanner is a 2D protective device that monitors a danger zone and switches its safety outputs off when an object enters a protected zone. Prazamana's scanner monitors up to three configurable safety and warning zones at the same time across a 275° field of view, and can protect either a stationary danger zone, from a fixed machine perimeter, or a moving one, such as the path ahead of an AGV or mobile robot.

It is used for AGV and mobile robot guarding, machine perimeter guarding, and production and intralogistics. In production it is used across automotive, packaging and metal-processing lines for both perimeter guarding and access monitoring.

The scanner covers a 3.0 m safety zone across a 275° field of view. It monitors up to three configurable safety and warning zones simultaneously, so warning zones and safety zones can be active in parallel.

Yes. It is designed for dynamic protective fields on automated guided vehicles and mobile robots. The protective fields adapt dynamically to vehicle speed, detecting obstacles in the path of the vehicle.

The detection capability is selectable: 30, 40, 50, 70 or 150 mm. The right setting depends on what the scanner needs to detect and where it is installed, and is chosen from the risk assessment.

The response time is 62 ms. When an object enters a protected zone, the scanner switches its safety outputs off. It has four safe semiconductor outputs. The response time is one of the figures used when working out the safety distance for the installation.

It supports muting, override, EDM (external device monitoring) and restart interlock functions.

It is a Class 1 laser product (EN 60825-1), measures 102 mm × 152 mm × 112.5 mm (W × H × D), weighs 2.14 kg and operates in ambient temperatures from -10°C to 50°C.

The product is listed as Safety Category 3, and conforms to the IEC 61496 series for electro-sensitive protective equipment (listed on the product page as EN ISO 61496-3), with the laser classified as Class 1 under EN 60825-1. Please ask the team for the certificates and datasheet for your configuration.

Yes. A scanner is often used alongside fixed guarding, for example to monitor an open side or an access point around a danger zone. Its safe semiconductor outputs are designed to connect to a compatible safety controller or relay, so it can be one part of a wider safety system. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment, and the Prazamana team can advise.

A safety light curtain forms a close-meshed infrared beam field positioned directly at the danger point. When a hand crosses the field, the light curtain cuts machine power. Prazamana's Advanced Light Curtain is a Type 4 device with 30 mm resolution for hand protection, with a 300 mm protected field height.

It is used for hand and finger protection, press and press brake guarding, and robot cell access. On presses it provides multi-sided safeguarding of press lines, including muting for material in-feed and out-feed. On packaging and assembly cells, it protects where an operator's hand enters the same space as a robot or press tool.

Resolution is the smallest object the light curtain can reliably detect. At 30 mm, the beams are close enough together to detect a hand or finger entering the field, which is why this version is described as hand protection. It also lets the operator stay close to the work area, because the light curtain sits right at the danger point.

It offers muting, blanking and cascading without dead zones. Muting allows material to pass through the field, for example at the in-feed and out-feed of a press, without stopping the machine, and cascading lets several light curtains be linked to protect more than one side.

The operating range is up to 20 m and the response time is 13 ms. The response time is one of the figures used when working out how far the light curtain must be from the hazard.

It is listed as Type 4, PL e, and conforms to EN/IEC 61496-1/-2, the standards for electro-sensitive protective equipment. Please ask the team for the certificates and datasheet for your configuration.

It runs on a 24 V DC supply and has two safe semiconductor outputs, each up to 500 mA. It has an IP65 rating. Connections are M12, 5-pin on the transmitter and 12-pin on the receiver.

The listed dimensions are 35 mm wide by 306.3 mm long, for a 300 mm protected field height.

The safety distance depends on the machine's stopping time, the light curtain's response time (13 ms) and the approach speed, as described in ISO 13855. Prazamana's Stop Time Measurement service measures the machine's actual stopping performance to calculate the required distance, so please contact the team for help with your machine.

Yes. A light curtain is often combined with fixed guarding, which blocks the other sides of a danger zone, and with other devices such as emergency stops and safety controllers. Its safe semiconductor outputs are designed to connect to a compatible safety relay or controller. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment, and the Prazamana team can advise.

It is a failsafe PLC head module for a modular I/O system. It runs failsafe and standard control logic side by side, so a single controller can cover both the safety loop and general machine I/O. Programs are stored on an SD card.

It is used for modular safety control, running failsafe and standard logic together as the head module of a modular I/O station, and for multi-protocol integration, bridging a safety-rated network with standard PROFINET, Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP equipment on the same line.

It is listed as PL e and SIL CL3, via the safety network. These ratings describe the controller itself. The rating achieved by a complete safety function also depends on the devices and wiring around it, which can be verified through a SISTEMA analysis.

It connects to a dedicated safety network for safety-related networking (RJ45, 100 Mbit/s, 2–60,000 ms cycle) and can also act as a PROFINET node (PNO-certified, RJ45, 100 Mbit/s, 4–512 ms cycle), a Modbus/TCP node (2–2,000,000 ms cycle) or an EtherNet/IP node (4–655,000 ms cycle).

It has 256 MB of RAM and 4 MB of user memory, of which 382 kB is in the failsafe section. The program is stored on an SD card.

The module supply (U1) is 24 V DC, 17 W, and the periphery supply (U2) is 24 V DC with a tolerance of -30% / +25%. The ambient temperature range is 0°C to 60°C.

It measures 125.6 mm × 130 mm × 83.7 mm (H × W × D) and weighs 345 g.

Yes, it is designed to be the safety controller of a machine, working with other devices such as light curtains, laser scanners, safety switches and emergency stops through the I/O system. The exact I/O modules and wiring depend on your machine, so please share your requirements with the team.

No. PL e describes the controller. The Performance Level of a safety function depends on the whole chain, from the input device through the logic to the output, and how it is built. Prazamana's SISTEMA analysis models the chain and documents the achieved PL against what your risk assessment requires.

Prazamana has delivered safety upgrades that combine fencing, light curtains, interlocks, Safety PLC systems and emergency stops on robotic cells and press machines. contact the team through the Contact page to discuss the support you need with selection, integration and documentation.

The Safe Radar Sensor is a radar-based protective sensor that monitors protection zones in rugged industrial environments. It combines radar detection with safe control technology and, paired with a configurable small safety controller, forms a complete zone-monitoring solution. An evaluation device enables FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT) functionality in accordance with IEC 61508 for safety applications.

It is used for danger zone and rear access monitoring, in heavy industry environments, and for robot cell monitoring. In robot cells, it monitors the working envelope around industrial robots as part of a complete safety solution.

Radar is insensitive to dust, dirt, rain, bright light and vibration, so it holds up in conditions such as welding, swarf and continuous vibration, where optical sensors struggle. It is unaffected by dust, dirt, rain, welding sparks, swarf and vibration, which makes it suitable for danger zones and rear-access points where a sensor needs to keep working despite harsh conditions.

The detection range is 0–5 m, and there is a long-range variant that covers 0–9 m.

It is rated for safety applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 61508), using the FSoE evaluation device. Please ask the team for the certificates and datasheet for your configuration.

The evaluation device enables FSoE (FailSafe over EtherCAT) functionality, which allows the sensor to be used in safety applications. The sensor works with a configurable small safety controller. Please share your control system details with the team so they can confirm the setup.

Yes. It is deployed as part of a complete safety solution, for example around robot cells, alongside fixed guarding and other devices such as light curtains, laser scanners and emergency stops. The right combination is decided by the risk assessment.

No. The rating describes what the sensor and its evaluation device can support. The level achieved by a complete safety function also depends on the other devices, the controller and the way everything is built and wired. Prazamana's SISTEMA analysis models the safety function and documents the result against what your risk assessment requires.

Radar suits harsh environments with dust, dirt, welding sparks, swarf, bright light or vibration. Optical devices such as light curtains and laser scanners are chosen for other needs, for example hand protection or dynamic protective fields on AGVs. The choice depends on the hazard, the environment and the risk assessment, and the Prazamana team can advise.

Prazamana has delivered safety upgrades that combine fencing, sensors, light curtains, Safety PLC systems and emergency stops on robotic cells and press machines. contact the team through the Contact page to discuss the support you need with selection, installation and configuration.

Safety switches monitor movable guards and safety gates, and signal the machine's safety system as soon as a guard or gate is opened. With the mechanical type, mechanically coded actuators trip the switch the instant a guard is opened. With the non-contact type, a coded switch monitors the gate without physical contact.

Two types are available: mechanical and non-contact coded safety switches. The mechanical variant is for movable guards. The non-contact variant is for safety gate monitoring and comes in compact, slim and large designs, with multiple actuation directions and switching distances. Non-contact magnetic safety switches are a related product.

Mechanical switches are used for movable guard monitoring. Non-contact switches are used for safety gate monitoring, flexibly across multiple actuation directions and distances. Combining the mechanical switch with a second switch from the same family is used for high-category requirements.

EN ISO 14119 sets out requirements for interlocking devices associated with guards, including protection against defeat, meaning making the switch hard to bypass or tamper with. Prazamana's safety switches are built to these protection-against-defeat requirements, and the mechanical type uses mechanically coded actuators for tamper resistance.

They are listed as reaching up to Performance Level e under EN ISO 13849. The level reached depends on how the switches are used and connected in the machine's safety function.

For the highest safety category, the mechanical switch is combined with a second switch from the same family, which reaches Performance Level e. The right arrangement for your machine is decided by the risk assessment, and the achieved level can be checked through a SISTEMA analysis.

The non-contact coded safety switch is available in compact, slim and large designs, with multiple actuation directions and switching distances, so it can be matched to different gates and mounting positions.

Yes. Safety switches are used to monitor movable guards and safety gates, which includes the hinge and sliding doors in Prazamana's Machine Guarding range. Where a gate must be locked closed until a hazard has stopped, a guard-locking interlock such as the Mechanical Lock accessory can be used. The right choice depends on the risk assessment.

A safety switch sends a signal to a safety relay or safety controller, which stops the hazardous movement when the guard is opened. Prazamana's range includes safety relays and a failsafe PLC controller for this purpose. Please share your machine details with the team so they can advise on the setup.

Yes. The choice depends on the guard type, the risk assessment and the safety level required. contact the team through the Contact page and describe your machine, and they will recommend a suitable switch and discuss installation.

Safety relays monitor safety devices such as emergency stops, safety gates and light barriers, and switch the machine's safety circuit accordingly. Prazamana's relay family covers several device tiers, from compact single-function relays to modular units switching up to 16 A per contact.

The family comes in three tiers: standard, compact and modular. The standard monitoring relays monitor E-STOP, safety gates or light barriers, with timer relay variants also available. The compact tier scales the same monitoring down, and the modular option handles higher switching currents.

They monitor emergency stops (E-STOP), safety gates and light barriers. The higher compact variant also monitors sensors with OSSD outputs.

The compact tier includes one variant for E-STOP or a safety gate, and another that monitors light barriers up to Type 4, or sensors with OSSD outputs. The standard and modular relays can also monitor light barriers.

The modular option switches currents of up to 16 A AC/DC per contact, for lines that need more switching capacity than a compact relay.

Timer relay variants are available in the standard tier, with pulsing or delay-on energisation.

The standard tier includes a certified variant to EN 574 Type IIIC or Type IIIA, as listed on the product page. Please ask the team which relay this applies to and for the certificate and datasheet for your configuration.

The input devices, such as emergency stop buttons, safety switches on gates and light curtains, send their signals to the relay. The relay monitors them and, when a device is triggered, opens its safety contacts to stop the hazardous movement. Prazamana's range includes all of these devices, so they can be selected to work together.

Safety relays suit simple, dedicated safety functions, such as monitoring one emergency stop, gate or light curtain. A safety PLC such as Prazamana's PLC Controller suits machines with many safety functions, more complex logic, or a need to combine safety and standard control. The choice depends on your machine and risk assessment, and the team can advise.

Yes. The choice depends on the devices you need to monitor, the switching current, the safety level required and your machine's design. contact the team through the Contact page and describe your machine, and they will recommend a suitable relay and discuss installation.

CE-certified panels are electrical control panels for industrial machinery and equipment, designed to meet CE marking requirements and to help protect against electrical hazards and system malfunctions. Prazamana's panels are not assembled from a generic template: each is sized, configured and tested around the specific machine or application it serves.

A panel suitable for CE-compliant machinery is designed and tested against the relevant requirements, mainly the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the electrical equipment standard EN 60204-1, and tested for the EMC Directive where applicable. Compliance depends on the panel's actual build and testing, so it is assessed for each project rather than assumed by default.

Yes. Prazamana's panels are engineered for each application rather than built from a template. Describe your machine and its electrical requirements through the Request a Call page, and the team will scope the panel for you.

The Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EN 60204-1 (safety of machinery, electrical equipment of machines) are the main references for the panels. The EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are also relevant when the panel forms part of CE-marked machinery. The exact set depends on the machine and destination market.

Prazamana offers LVD and EMC testing and CE marking consultancy, which can be used to assess whether a panel meets the requirements. Whether an existing panel can be modified to comply depends on its design and condition, so please send the details to the team and they will advise.

Prazamana's LVD testing covers electrical safety checks such as insulation, earthing, dielectric strength and contact protection, and EMC testing covers electromagnetic interference and compatibility. Technical documentation is part of the CE marking process. The exact test records and documents supplied with a panel are agreed for each project.

Panels are configured to the specific machine and its electrical requirements, so they are designed to connect with the machine's controls. If you have an existing control system, share its details with the team so they can confirm how the panel will integrate.

Yes. Prazamana engineers, manufactures and tests panels for the specific machine, and has manufactured electrical panels since 2021. Related services such as CE marking, machine risk assessment and safety training are available alongside.

Yes. Panels are sized and configured to the specific machine or application. Share your machine's electrical requirements and site conditions through the Request a Call page so the team can propose a suitable design.

Prazamana supports CE compliance through panel design and testing, LVD and EMC testing, and its CE marking service. The CE marking service identifies the applicable directives and harmonised standards, verifies conformity, prepares the technical documentation, and covers the CE marking and EU Declaration of Conformity.

Digital Smart LOTO is a Bluetooth-enabled lockout/tagout system that replaces physical padlocks and paper logs with a connected digital workflow. Each Bluetooth smart padlock connects digitally when it is applied, so its status is known rather than assumed. Every lock is linked to a digital record showing what is isolated, who isolated it and when, and the system covers the full sequence of lock, tag, verify and log.

Lockout/tagout is a safety procedure used to make sure machinery is isolated from its energy sources and cannot be started while maintenance, cleaning or repair is under way. A lock holds the isolation point in the safe position, and a tag shows who applied it and why. It is important because accidental start-up or release of stored energy during maintenance can cause serious injury.

Traditional LOTO relies on physical padlocks and paper logs, where a lock's status is assumed and records can be incomplete. Digital Smart LOTO verifies status through connected hardware, time-stamps every lock, tag, verification and release automatically, and builds a full record without extra paperwork. A live dashboard shows every active lock, tagged-out point and piece of equipment awaiting release on one screen.

Yes. A live dashboard shows all active locks, tagged-out points and equipment awaiting release. Each piece of equipment is shown as Locked, Pending or Released, along with the person responsible, and every action is time-stamped automatically.

The system automatically builds a time-stamped digital record of every lock, tag, verification and release, showing what was isolated, who isolated it and when. This replaces manual paper logs and gives you a record to refer to during audits. For details of report formats and export options, please contact the team.

The system follows the standard lockout sequence of lock, tag, verify and log, so it is designed to support a LOTO procedure rather than replace the procedure itself. Prazamana also offers safety training covering the lockout/tagout procedure and hazard identification. To discuss how it fits your site procedures, please contact the team.

Digital Smart LOTO works at the equipment's isolation points, so it is intended for any equipment that needs to be locked out and tagged out for maintenance. Please describe your equipment and isolation points to the team, who will confirm how it can be applied.

The system records who applied each lock and shows the responsible person for each piece of equipment, so it is built to track several people and locks at once on a single dashboard. Details of user roles and permissions are not published, so please ask the team how they can be set up for your maintenance teams.

The system uses Bluetooth smart padlocks that replace your physical padlocks. What additional hardware, if any, is needed at each machine depends on your isolation points and site setup, so please share your requirements with the team for a recommendation.

Customisation options are not published, but you can describe your site's LOTO procedures and equipment through the Request a Call page, and the team will discuss how the system can be set up to suit them.

CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that a product meets the applicable EU health, safety and environmental requirements. For machinery, it helps ensure that machines imported into the EU, whether standalone or part of an integrated assembly, meet EU safety and compliance requirements. Machinery that does not comply can be rejected or restricted, and can lead to delays, penalties or other legal consequences.

CE marking is required before a machine is placed on the EU market or put into service there. Machinery in scope of the EU rules must be compliant and carry the CE marking and an EU Declaration of Conformity before it enters the market. If you are unsure whether your machine is in scope, tell Prazamana about the machinery and its destination market and the team will advise.

The main steps are: identify the applicable directives, regulations and harmonised standards; verify product-specific requirements; determine whether an independent assessment by a notified body is required; test the product and verify its conformity; prepare and maintain the technical documentation; and affix the CE marking and draw up the EU Declaration of Conformity.

Machinery placed on the EU market is generally covered, including standalone machines and machines that are part of an integrated assembly. The main rules are the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, depending on the machine. Note that the Machinery Directive is due to be replaced by the Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230, which applies from 20 January 2027, so which rules apply depends on when the machine is placed on the market.

No. Most machines can be assessed by the manufacturer through its own conformity assessment. An independent assessment by a notified body is needed only in certain cases, such as for the higher-risk machine categories listed in the EU rules. Determining whether one is required is a standard step in the CE process, and Prazamana can help you work this out for your machine.

The manufacturer must prepare and maintain technical documentation and draw up an EU Declaration of Conformity. The technical file typically includes machine descriptions and drawings, the risk assessment, the standards applied, test results and the instructions for use. The exact contents depend on the machine and the applicable rules.

Prazamana provides end-to-end conformity consultancy covering risk assessment, technical documentation and compliance verification for EU market access. Related services include Machine Risk Assessment per ISO 12100:2010, safety training, LVD and EMC testing, and CE-compliant control panels and safety fencing. Tell the team about your machinery and destination market and they will scope the work.

Often yes, depending on the machine. Prazamana's Machine Risk Assessment covers new, refurbished, relocated and existing machinery, and identifies the gaps that need to be addressed, for example through guarding, safety devices or control changes. Please share your machine's details and destination market to find out what compliance would involve.

Yes. Prazamana is based in Pune and its CE marking service is aimed at machinery destined for the EU market. Share your machinery and destination market with the team so they can scope the work, including the responsibilities of the manufacturer and importer.

The time depends on the machine, how complete its documentation is, the amount of testing and the changes needed. A simple machine takes less time than a complex line or one that needs a notified body. Please describe your machinery and destination market to the team for an estimate for your project.

A machine risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of a machine's hazards, carried out according to ISO 12100:2010. It identifies, evaluates and documents the risks so they can be reduced before they lead to an incident.

Every machine has mechanical and non-mechanical hazards, and some are not visible until the machine is properly assessed. Risk that has not been identified cannot be managed. A risk assessment shows where the real hazards are, so the right guarding, devices and procedures can be chosen.

Prazamana carries out risk assessments for new, refurbished, relocated and existing machinery. It is best done early for new machines, and again whenever a machine is modified, moved or put to a different use.

It covers the mechanical and non-mechanical hazards of the machine. Hazards are identified through a systematic assessment carried out together with your team, then evaluated and prioritised by their severity and likelihood.

Prazamana carries out machine risk assessments according to ISO 12100:2010, the general standard for machinery design, risk assessment and risk reduction. The method follows three steps: identify the hazards, evaluate them by severity and likelihood, and reduce the risk with practical safety solutions.

Yes. Existing machinery is within the scope of Prazamana's risk assessment, along with new, refurbished and relocated machines. Older machines often have no guarding or safety devices that match today's expectations, so an assessment is a good way to find out what needs attention.

The risks are evaluated and prioritised, and practical, safer solutions are recommended to reduce them. These can include guarding, safety devices and changes to controls or procedures, depending on the findings.

Prazamana can both recommend and supply the solutions. Its range includes machine guarding and safety fencing, safety devices such as light curtains, laser scanners, radar sensors and emergency stops, and Safety PLC systems. On past projects, it has taken robotic cells and press machines from a list of identified hazards to a fully fenced, interlocked and protected machine.

Yes. Risk assessment is a core part of CE marking, which covers risk assessment, technical documentation and compliance verification for EU market access. The documented risk assessment also gives you a base for the technical documentation and for other compliance requirements that apply to your machine.

The assessment identifies, evaluates and documents the risks. The exact format and contents of the report depend on the project, so please ask the team what you will receive for your machine.

Prazamana provides workforce training on machine safety. The programmes are taught by TÜV-certified safety professionals through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, and cover machine safety awareness, lockout/tagout procedures, hazard identification and risk assessment, and CE marking and EU directives.

The standard topics are machine safety awareness, lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, hazard identification and risk assessment, and CE marking and EU directives.

Yes. The standard modules can be tailored to your own machinery and processes, and training can also be built around your specific machines, processes and people beyond the standard modules. Describe your requirements through the Request a Call page and the team will propose a programme.

The training is aimed at the workforce in manufacturing and industrial settings: people who work with or around machinery, as well as those responsible for safety, maintenance and compliance. Please tell the team who you want to train and the team will suggest the right modules.

Topics such as machine safety awareness, hazard identification and lockout/tagout are relevant to both operators and maintenance personnel. Because modules can be tailored to your machinery and people, the content can be adjusted for each group. Please confirm your requirements with the team.

The delivery format is not published. Training is taught through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, so please contact the team to discuss on-site or other delivery options for your site.

Whether a certificate is issued is not published. Please ask the team about completion certificates for the programme you are interested in.

There is no single interval that suits every site. Training is generally repeated when new people join, when machines or procedures change, after an incident or near miss, and at regular intervals set by your safety policy and local requirements. The team can advise on a suitable refresher plan for your workplace.

Training can be discussed alongside a project such as new guarding, safety devices, LOTO or a CE marking engagement, so the people who work with the machine understand the safety measures in place. Please raise this with the team when scoping your project.

Prazamana uses practical demonstrations and real-world examples taught by TÜV-certified safety professionals, and ties training to the machinery and processes your people actually work with. The aim is fewer workplace accidents and injuries, better productivity from safer conditions, and compliance with national and international safety standards.

The Cyber Resilience Act is EU Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, which sets cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements sold in the EU. It makes manufacturers responsible for building security into their products, handling vulnerabilities and reporting serious security problems. Reporting duties apply from 11 September 2026, and most other requirements, including CE marking for cybersecurity, apply from 11 December 2027.

It can. Machinery that contains software or hardware with a data connection to a device or network, such as PLCs, HMIs, remote-access functions or network interfaces, may fall within the scope of the CRA as, or as part of, a product with digital elements. Whether and how it applies depends on the machine, its components and who places it on the EU market, so each product should be checked individually.

Prazamana offers CE Cybersecurity Compliance, an industrial cybersecurity risk assessment for automation and control systems following IEC 62443. It reviews your assets, access points and network architecture, evaluates threats and risks, identifies gaps and delivers risk-prioritised recommendations and an improvement roadmap. This is a risk assessment, not a penetration test, and it supports your readiness but does not by itself amount to CRA conformity.

The CRA covers products with digital elements, meaning software or hardware products with a direct or indirect data connection to a device or network, along with certain related remote data processing. For industrial equipment, this can include controllers, connected machine components and automation systems placed on the EU market. Some product types are covered by other EU rules and excluded, so please check your product against the regulation or ask the team.

Manufacturers must design and develop products with security built in, handle vulnerabilities throughout the product's support period, provide security updates, document their cybersecurity risk assessment, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents to the authorities within set deadlines. Products must complete the required conformity assessment and carry the CE marking with an EU declaration of conformity.

A machine safety risk assessment (ISO 12100:2010) looks at physical hazards from the machine, such as moving parts, and how to protect people from them. A cybersecurity risk assessment looks at threats to the control and communication systems, such as unauthorised access, manipulated commands or malware, and their consequences. The two are linked, because a cyber incident on a control system can create a safety hazard, so they should be considered together.

It typically involves understanding the product and its connections, assessing cybersecurity risks, building in security measures, setting up vulnerability handling and update processes, preparing technical documentation, completing the required conformity assessment, and then affixing the CE marking with an EU declaration of conformity. Prazamana's assessment covers the industrial system, network and risk-evaluation parts of this work.

The CRA is a CE-marking regulation: products in scope will need to meet its requirements and carry the CE marking. A machine may need to meet several EU rules at once, such as the Machinery rules, the Low Voltage Directive, the EMC Directive and the CRA, and the CE marking and declaration of conformity cover all that apply. Prazamana's CE Marking service helps identify which apply to your machine.

IEC 62443 is the international family of standards for the cybersecurity of industrial automation and control systems, and Prazamana uses it to assess risks, identify gaps and recommend measures. It is a recognised framework for industrial security, but following it does not automatically prove conformity with the CRA, which depends on the standards and procedures the EU recognises for that purpose.

Manufacturers are generally expected to keep technical documentation that includes a cybersecurity risk assessment, details of the security measures and the product's components, a process for handling and reporting vulnerabilities, and the EU declaration of conformity. Prazamana's assessment produces an asset overview, network and communication mapping, a cybersecurity risk assessment, a gap analysis, risk-prioritised recommendations and an improvement roadmap, which can feed into this documentation.

EMI/EMC testing is electromagnetic interference and compatibility testing that verifies machinery conforms to the EMC Directive. It matters because electrical and electronic equipment can both produce interference and be affected by it. Poor electromagnetic compatibility can cause malfunctions, nuisance stops or unsafe behaviour of controls, and non-compliant machinery can be refused entry to the EU market.

Yes, where the EMC Directive applies. For CE marking, machinery with electrical or electronic equipment must meet the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, alongside the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU where applicable. Testing is a way to verify that conformity. Prazamana can help you work out which directives apply to your machine.

Prazamana offers EMI/EMC testing to verify that machinery conforms to the EMC Directive, together with LVD testing, noise testing and stop time measurement, which can each be booked individually. It also provides CE marking consultancy, covering risk assessment, technical documentation and compliance verification. Tell the team about your machine and its destination market, and they will scope the right tests.

Machinery and electrical or electronic equipment placed on the EU market generally need to meet the EMC Directive. This includes machines with control panels, drives, PLCs, motors, sensors and other electronic components. Whether your machine requires testing depends on its design and destination market, so please share the details with the team.

EMI (electromagnetic interference) is unwanted electromagnetic disturbance that can affect other equipment. EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) is the ability of equipment to work properly in its electromagnetic environment without causing interference to others, which includes limiting its own emissions and tolerating interference from outside.

It typically evaluates how much electromagnetic interference a machine emits, and how well the machine keeps working when exposed to electromagnetic disturbances. The exact tests depend on the machine and the applicable standards, and will be scoped for your project.

The requirements come from the EMC Directive, together with the harmonised standards that apply to the machine. Prazamana's testing verifies machinery against the applicable EU directive and harmonised standards. The specific standards depend on the type of equipment and where it will be used, so these are confirmed when the tests are scoped.

Testing can be scoped for a machine you already have, for example if you need to verify compliance before exporting it to the EU. Whether a particular machine can be tested, and how, depends on its size, installation and operating conditions, so please describe it to the team.

The arrangement is agreed when the tests are scoped, depending on the machine and what needs to be measured. Please contact the team to discuss on-site or other options for your equipment.

The cause of the failure is identified and corrected, typically through design or installation changes such as filtering, shielding, grounding or cable routing, and then the equipment is tested again. Please discuss how Prazamana can help with any corrective work and retesting with the team.

Test records are normally kept in the machine's technical documentation, which supports the CE marking process and the EU Declaration of Conformity. The exact format of reports is agreed for each project, so please ask the team what you will receive.

LVD testing is electrical safety testing against the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. It checks that electrical equipment on a machine, such as a control panel and its wiring, is safe to use. It matters because faults like poor insulation or missing earthing can cause electric shock or fire, and machinery that does not meet the directive can be refused entry to the EU market.

Yes, where the Low Voltage Directive applies. Machinery with electrical equipment within the directive's voltage range must meet the Low Voltage Directive, alongside the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU where applicable. Testing is a way of verifying that conformity. Prazamana can help you work out which directives apply to your machine.

Prazamana offers LVD testing to verify electrical safety against the Low Voltage Directive, along with EMI/EMC testing, noise testing and stop time measurement, which can each be booked individually. It also provides CE marking consultancy and CE-compliant control panels. Tell the team about your machine and its destination market, and they will scope the right tests.

The Low Voltage Directive covers electrical equipment designed for use within certain voltage limits (generally 50 to 1000 V AC and 75 to 1500 V DC). For machinery, this typically includes control panels, wiring, motors, drives and other electrical equipment on the machine. Whether your machine is covered depends on its voltage and design, so please share the details with the team.

LVD testing evaluates the electrical safety of the equipment, including insulation, earthing, dielectric strength and contact protection.

The tests cover insulation, earthing, dielectric strength and contact protection. The exact set of tests for your machine is scoped when you contact Prazamana.

Testing is carried out against the Low Voltage Directive and the harmonised standards that apply to the equipment. For the electrical equipment of machinery, EN 60204-1 (safety of machinery, electrical equipment of machines) is a key reference. The specific standards depend on the equipment and are confirmed when the tests are scoped.

Testing can be scoped for a machine you already have, for example if you need to verify its electrical safety before exporting it to the EU. Whether a particular machine can be tested, and how, depends on its installation and operating conditions, so please describe it to the team.

The arrangement is agreed when the tests are scoped, depending on the machine and what needs to be measured. Please contact the team to discuss on-site or other options for your equipment.

The cause of the failure is identified and corrected, for example by improving insulation, earthing or protection against contact, and then the equipment is tested again. Please discuss how Prazamana can help with any corrective work and retesting with the team.

Test records are normally kept in the machine's technical documentation, which supports the CE marking process and the EU Declaration of Conformity. The exact format of reports is agreed for each project, so please ask the team what you will receive.

Machine noise testing measures the sound pressure level a machine emits, to check the noise values declared for it. It matters because noisy machinery can damage hearing and affect the working environment, and because machine manufacturers placing machinery on the EU market are expected to give accurate noise information.

Noise emission information is part of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requirements: manufacturers have to provide noise emission information for their machines, and declared values should be backed by measurement. Prazamana's noise testing checks a machine's declared noise values, which supports the technical documentation for CE marking.

Prazamana offers noise testing that measures emission sound pressure level to verify a machine's declared noise values per ISO 11202. It can be booked on its own or together with EMI/EMC testing, LVD testing and stop time measurement, and alongside CE marking consultancy. Tell the team about your machine and destination market, and they will scope the right tests.

Machines that generate noise at the operator's position or in their surroundings, such as presses, conveyors, compressors, pumps, cutting and packaging machines, are the usual candidates, especially if you export to the EU and need to declare noise values. Please describe your machine to the team to confirm what is needed.

It measures the emission sound pressure level of the machine, which is the noise level at defined positions such as the operator's workstation, so the result can be compared with the machine's declared noise values.

Sound pressure level is measured with a calibrated sound level meter at defined positions around the machine while it operates in a specified mode. Prazamana carries out measurements per ISO 11202. Measurement positions and operating conditions are agreed for each machine.

Prazamana's noise testing is performed per ISO 11202, which covers the measurement of emission sound pressure levels at the work station and other specified positions. The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC sets the requirement to reduce noise and provide noise emission information. Please confirm with the team which standards apply to your machine type.

Testing can be scoped for a machine you already have, for example to verify declared noise values before export. Since the measurement is of the machine in operation, it depends on being able to run the machine under the required conditions, so please describe your machine to the team.

The arrangement is agreed when the tests are scoped, depending on the machine and where it can be measured. Please contact the team to discuss on-site or other options for your equipment.

There is no single noise limit for every machine: the requirements are to reduce noise as far as practicable and to declare accurate values, and workplace exposure limits are set by local rules. If a machine is louder than expected, the usual steps are to identify the main noise sources and reduce them, for example with enclosures, damping or design changes, and then re-measure. Please discuss your case with the team.

Test results are normally kept in the machine's technical documentation, and the declared noise values appear in the instructions for the machine. The exact format of the report is agreed for each project, so please ask the team what you will receive.

Stop time measurement testing measures how long a machine actually takes to stop once a safety function is triggered, such as an emergency stop or an opened guard. It is important because the stopping time determines how far a safety device, such as a light curtain or an interlocked gate, must be placed from the hazard so that a person cannot reach it before the machine has stopped.

Prazamana measures actual stopping performance to calculate the required safety distance per ISO 13855. In simple terms, the longer the total stopping time, the further the safeguard must be from the hazard, because a person can cover more distance while the machine is still moving. ISO 13855 combines the stopping time with an approach speed and other factors to give the minimum distance.

Prazamana offers stop time measurement testing to calculate the required safety distance per ISO 13855. It can be booked on its own or with EMI/EMC, LVD and noise testing. As part of its wider machine safety offering, it also provides machine risk assessment, machine guarding, safety devices and CE marking consultancy. Tell the team about your machine and they will scope the right tests.

It measures the actual stopping performance of the machine, meaning the time between a stop command and the hazardous movement actually stopping.

It is relevant wherever safeguards are placed at a distance from a hazard and the machine takes time to stop, for example machines protected by light curtains, laser scanners, radar sensors or interlocked gates, and robotic cells and presses. Please describe your machine to the team to confirm what is needed.

It should be done when a safeguard position is being decided, so the distance is based on real data, and again whenever something changes that could affect stopping performance, such as modifications to the machine, its brakes or drives, or its safety devices.

The machine is run, a stop command is triggered, and the time until the hazardous motion stops is recorded with suitable measuring equipment. The exact method and operating conditions are agreed for each machine.

If the stopping time is longer than expected, the safeguard has to be placed further from the hazard, or the stopping time has to be reduced, for example by improving the braking or control arrangement, or by using a faster safety device. The solution is chosen from the risk assessment.

Yes, testing can be scoped for existing machinery, for example to check that safeguards on an older machine are far enough from the hazard. Please describe your machine to the team to confirm how it can be tested.

There is no single interval that suits every machine. It is common to repeat the measurement after changes to the machine or its safety devices, and at regular intervals set by your safety procedures, since brakes and other components can wear over time. The team can advise on a suitable interval.

The measured stopping times and the calculated safety distance are normally recorded and kept with the machine's technical documentation, which also supports the CE marking process. The exact format of the report is agreed for each project, so please ask the team what you will receive.

SISTEMA is a software tool from IFA for evaluating the safety-related part of a control system (SRP/CS). Prazamana models your safety functions in it, calculates the achieved Performance Level (PL), and documents whether it meets what your risk assessment requires. The result is a verified, documented basis for claiming that a safety circuit, interlock or safety PLC logic is reliable enough for the application.

Performance Level is a rating defined in EN ISO 13849-1 that describes how reliably a safety function, such as a stop triggered by a light curtain or gate, will work. The risk assessment sets the PL a safety function must achieve, and the analysis checks that the actual design meets it. Without a documented PL calculation, there is no verified basis for claiming the safety function has the reliability the application needs.

Prazamana provides safety circuit modelling in SISTEMA, PL calculation, category and architecture verification, and documentation suitable for technical files and audits. Describe your safety function through the Request a Call page and the team will scope the analysis. It sits alongside machine risk assessment, CE marking consultancy, machine guarding and safety devices.

SISTEMA is used for the safety-related part of the control system, meaning the chain that performs a safety function: the input device such as a light curtain, interlock switch or emergency stop, the logic such as a safety relay or safety PLC, and the output that stops the machine, such as contactors or drives. It applies to any such part that needs a documented PL.

The safety function is modelled as a circuit in SISTEMA, with its components and architecture. The tool then calculates the achieved Performance Level, and the category and architecture are verified. The result is compared with the PL required by the risk assessment.

The analysis is based on EN ISO 13849-1, the standard that SISTEMA is built around. The required PL comes from the machine risk assessment, which Prazamana carries out according to ISO 12100:2010.

The starting point is a description of the safety function. In practice, the analysis also needs the safety circuit drawings and the details and reliability data of the components used, and the required PL from the risk assessment. The team will confirm exactly what they need when scoping the work.

The report documents the modelled safety function, the calculated Performance Level, the verification of category and architecture, and whether the result meets the required PL. The exact format is agreed for each project, so please ask the team what you will receive. The documentation is suitable for technical files and audits.

It can be scoped for an existing machine, for example to verify the PL of an older safety circuit, if the circuit and component details are available. Please describe your machine to the team to confirm how it can be done.

The design needs to change until the required PL is met. Typical measures include changing the architecture or category, using components with higher reliability, improving diagnostics, or adding redundancy. The analysis is then repeated and documented. The right fix depends on your machine, so please discuss it with the team.
