Safety package

BVM Brunner, a manufacturer of
film wrapping packaging machines,
is benefiting from state-of-the-art’
safety solutions from Pilz. To
comply with EN ISO 13849-1, BVM
Brunner carried out renewed
machine risk assessments in order to
update the safety concepts on its
machines.

The Pilz Safety Calculator, PAScal,
was used to determine the required
PL and SIL (Safety Integrity Level) of
the safety functions according to EN
ISO 13849-1. The PL and SIL
requirements, together with the
handling requirements, were then
matched with the Pilz product range
within the PAScal Calculator library.
