Southco ready for new
Machinery Directive
With the implementation of the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC at the end of 2009, strict safety requirements regarding how fixed,
adjustable or movable guards are fastened to machines will become mandatory.
Southco says that it is ready to help companies with the various implications that these regulations could bring to machine builders and
operators, due to its portfolio of access hardware solutions which include:
• Captive Screws - provide precise close-tolerance fit and are available in a wide variety of installation options, head styles and finishes. These
screws can be fastened conveniently by hand, but enhance safety by requiring a tool to release.
• Fast-lead Screws - designed to resist cross-threading and tolerate misalignment, while providing vibration resistance and speed of operation.
• Quarter-turn Fasteners - provide quick and easy access, perfect for repeat-access applications. Self-ejecting options provide a visual indicator for
improved safety.
• Quick-access Pins - available with a simple push-button actuator, perfect for locking movable guards into place, as well as for activating electronic
lockout sensors for improved safety.
• Captive Spring-loaded Plungers - allow for quick positioning and fixing of sliding guards.
• Controlled Torque Positioning Devices - provide the ability to raise, lower, tilt, swivel and position guards for improved safety protection during
equipment operation. These devices can also hold guards in a partially or fully open position without secondary hardware, to provide unrestricted
maintenance access.
