Thermoforming within the safe zone

Senoplast Klepsch manufactures plastic semi-finished products for a range of different applications. A core business area for the Austrian company Senoplast Klepsch is the manufacture of co-extruded senosan® plastic sheets and films for thermoforming. For a smooth-running deep drawing process Senoplast Klepsch relies on the safe radar system PSENradar, which in this case safeguards the production process in an “unorthodox” manner. The focus in production is among other things on quality and safety: the safe radar system was incorporated into the existing controller on the forming machine in order to protect human and machine.

Expertise
IEC 62061:2021 harmonised as EU standard EN IEC 62061:2021!

IEC 62061 was published in 2021 and in April 2022 was published in the Official Journal of the EU as harmonised standard EN IEC 62061. Presumption of conformity for the previous version EN 62061:2005 ends on 11 October 2023 at the latest!

Brexit UKCA mark - Transitional arrangement extended!

In Mid-November 2022 - a few weeks before the original deadline was to expire at the end of 2022 - the British government extended the deadline up to which products with CE marking may be imported into the United Kingdom. The new deadline is now 31.12.2024. Consequently, manufacturers can choose, as indeed they could before, and can import products with CE or UKCA marking into Great Britain.

Revised standard EN/IEC 61496

In the fourth edition of the standard EN/IEC 61496 “Safety of machinery – Electrosensitive protective equipment”, type class 3 has been included for applications up to performance level 4, alongside type classes 2 and 4. The requirements for environmental tests have also been revised and expanded. Two shock classes for stationary use of the ESPE have also been defined under mechanical tests.
