INEL 80030 - Level 2 Machine Safety

0.42 CR
In this module, students will learn to apply the principles and design elements of more complex machinery. As the machinery and processes become more complex, the level of safety must also increase. This presents many challenges when the designer must maintain a safe working environment while ensuring productivity. Beyond the basic door switch and other guarding devices, more complex components such as light curtains and safe condition sensing modules meet the demands of the industry.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Describe the TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Program.
  2. Define risk analysis and process.
  3. Apply machine guarding principles to real-world scenarios.
  4. Identify safety functions and performance levels.
  5. Identify safety devices and their application.
  6. Evaluate machine safety using a practical example.
