Machine safety and hygiene also require SMC engineering expertise

A reputable automation specialist should always adopt a realistic approach by helping End Users to support the implementation of the Safety function with the machine builders.  Appropriately designed products and validated operational valves (according to ISO 13849) are central to delivering overall safety, particularly regarding machine control. It is always required to use validated operational components (VOCs) and product data (SMC counts with its free library “SISTEMA”) when building safety control systems.

For higher Performance Levels of safety SMC provides redundant valves, which give the possibility to exhaust the air in case of a machine stop.
