Why ADH

Machine Safety

Safeguarding starts with the machine, hazard zones, operator tasks and stopping performance. Final design and compliance documents depend on the selected machine and destination requirements.

DSP optical protection unit for a press-brake tool area
Green-and-yellow protective earth conductors connected to grounding terminals

Protective Grounding

Grounding and electrical protection provide a defined path for fault conditions. Confirm the design, installation and validation for the delivered machine.

Optical safeguarding receiver mounted beside press-brake tooling

Optical Safeguarding Integration

Select the device from the hazard zone, stopping performance and required protective distance. List only standards and declarations that apply to the final machine and are included in its documents.

Yellow light-curtain device beside the machine access area

Light Curtain Coverage

Position the selected device around the defined hazard zone, then validate stopping performance and access protection on the final machine.

Emergency-stop button on a machine operator-control station

Emergency-Stop Function

The current machine description states that emergency stop interrupts the main motor and backgauge power path. Confirm the final circuit, stop category and validation for the selected machine.

Rotary electrical isolation switch on a machine cabinet door

Electrical Cabinet Interlock

Confirm cabinet access, isolation and interlock behavior in the final electrical design and validation records.

Hydraulic valve block and connected lines inside a machine

Hydraulic Valve-Block Protection

The valve group includes fast-down, working and return protections. Confirm the hydraulic design and validation for the selected machine.

Open electrical cabinet with machine control and protective components

Overload & Overvoltage Protection

Protection can interrupt the power path under abnormal voltage or load conditions. Confirm settings and validation for the delivered machine.

Cell safeguarding

Define Access, Stop and Recovery States

Automation adds movement, transfer and intervention zones beyond the host machine. The complete cell safety design must cover normal production, setup, maintenance and recovery.

Access control

Guards, Gates and Optical Devices

Map normal access, replenishment, finished-part removal, inspection and maintenance routes together with interlocks and optical protection.

Stop functions

Machine and Module Stop States

Define emergency, protective and controlled stops, stored energy, communication loss and which devices must reach a safe condition.

Recovery

Intervention and Restart

Document permitted manual actions, lockout, reset authority, clearance checks, restart sequence, training and the required validation records.

Application safety inputs

Define Safeguarding Requirements for the Application

Share the machine, process, access zones, operator tasks and destination. ADH can identify the safeguarding functions and documents to include in the proposed machine.
