10-15% of fatal workplace accidents occur during maintenance operations according to EU-OSHA. Occupational diseases and health problems such as asbestosis, cancer, hearing problems and musculoskeletal disorders are also more prevalent among workers involved in maintenance activities. Brady proposes 3 solutions to help make maintenance safer and more efficient.

Professional safety printers: print self-adhesive safety signs and instructional labels and apply them to machinery before they are serviced. Optimally...

Flir System cooled midwave infrared (MWIR) cameras have long held a tactical advantage over uncooled longwave infrared (LWIR) cameras in many airborne and ground-based missions.

While cooled MWIR cameras are highly sensitive, they are also larger, heavier, require more power, and cost more than uncooled LWIR cameras. Recent advancements in High Operating Temperature (HOT) MWIR technology open up new possibilities. 

Emerson presents the TopWorx™ GO™ Switch model 52M, a low profile, dry contact, proximity sensor with a 316L stainless steel sensing face in an industry standard 12mm package. The temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C and it’s suitable for IP69K applications. The 52M does not require power to operate and is polarity insensitive with zero need to specify NPN or PNP circuits and maintains the ability to be a plug-and-play replacement for inductive proximity sensors.

Can operate in large...

FLIR Systems GF306 optical gas imaging camera has been designed to address the challenge that electrical power stations face in detecting gas leaks from their Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers.

The longer a leak from a SF6 circuit breaker is left undetected and not repaired, the more revenue is lost, and the greater the impact on the environment from the electrical power station.

By using a portable, non-contact FLIR GF306 optical gas imaging camera - electrical power engineers can remotely visualize SF6 leaks from a safe...

Designed for oil and gas industry professionals, the FLIR GF620 high-definition (HD) optical gas imaging (OGI) camera sets a new standard for detecting and visualizing invisible leaks of hydrocarbons, such as methane, and common volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

With four times the pixels of previous models, the HD resolution GF620 helps inspectors survey for fugitive hydrocarbon emissions from further, safer distances than possible with lower-resolution OGI cameras. The new GF620...

DonadonSDD products for aseptic applications have been designed to meet the high quality standards required by 3-A SSI, an American no-profit corporation whose aim is to ensure public health through hygiene equipment.

Rupture discs are particularly used in the Pharmaceutical, Food industries, and are particularly suitable for C.I.P. (Cleaning-In-Place) and S.I.P. (Steaming-In-Place) processes and productions that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

PTFE gaskets, which are certified in compliance with FDA and USP class VI, 3-A, and Eu 10/2011...

The innovative Brady Inspection Timer can help save lives by clearly showing on machines, equipment and tools when maintenance is needed. Its LED lights grab the attention of users and maintenance professionals alike from a distance and help avoid the use of uninspected or worn out equipment.

The Brady Inspection Timer clearly highlights when the next planned maintenance intervention is due. Versions are available that count down 7 days, 30 days and 365 days. Each version is equipped with a dark green, light green, yellow and flashing red LED light...

Manufacturers must prevent workplace accidents by guarding against safety risks, but reaching the desired safety level can be challenging as it can add complexity and reduce productivity.

Download our white paper that reveals how a unique approach known as zoned safety reduces complexity in the design of redundant pneumatic safety circuits and improves machine productivity.
