Scope of services:
Preparation of a risk assessment for a machine in the sense of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC:
Before a machine is placed on the market, it is necessary to carry out a risk assessment in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. This involves the basic safety and health requirements that apply to the machine. Within the assessment, appropriate measures are then taken to protect man and machine from risks and their effects. Schmachtl supports you in document creation in compliance with directives and confirms compliance with current directives and standards in the course of document creation.
Technical protective devices, when used in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1, must correspond to the specific required performance level for each individual safety function of the associated performance level.
Performance definition:
" Computational verification of the PL performance level for each safety function
" Documentation of the verification using the IFA's SISTEMA tool
" design documents (e.g. risk assessment)
" specifications
" technical documentation (e.g. EPLAN)
" safety characteristics of the components used
Integrated planning facilitates ordering as well as the required submissions and labeling. Our technical specialists deal intensively with customer requirements in the first step and then plan and document electrical controls, networks, switch cabinets and installations of various sizes.
In addition to the extensive standard delivery program of switch cabinets and control elements, we also offer special solutions for specific requirements. The portfolio includes various types and sizes of equipment - from terminal and switch boxes to consoles in individual, contract and series production to project-specific, individual switchgear. We also handle the planning and construction of control cabinets for large-scale plants. Including the documentation we take over all services: Selection, procurement, planning, engineering and installation.

In the control cabinet manufacturing, both contract manufacturing and series production, from planning to delivery, you can get everything from a single source with us. Our product range includes various types of mounting plates, terminal boxes, control boxes and consoles. Single-unit production is just as possible as manufacturing in large quantities or contract manufacturing with and without provided material.
Scope of services: creation of safety-related user software
More and more safety functions are being realized through the application programming of safety-related control systems. The requirements must thereby fulfill the current standard EN ISO 13849 for the software development of safety functions. An essential component of this standard is the adherence to a structured development process via the V-model. Dangerous systematic errors should thus be avoided in the safety-related application software for a machine. We support you in creating the safety functions by means of well thought-out software solutions.
" Gathering of customer requirements
" Creation of a compulsory specification and verification and validation documents
" Creation of the acceptance protocol for commissioning
" Program creation for safety controls
" Commissioning
" Performance of the safety-related test (black box test) on site
" Documentation of the test
The execution of industrial installations consists of:
- Installation of control cabinets
- Installation of cable routes (trunking, trough, trunking, grid trays, etc.)
- Field device installations
- Cable laying
- Protective fence installation
- Installation of operator stations, on-site control stations
- Cabling
Commissioning check / on-site support
We support you on site during the commissioning of your machine.
" Testing of safety technology for new installations and regular safety inspection measures during the service life of the machine
" Determination of the proper installation and function of a protective device
" Confirmed documentation of the safety-related function test
It must be confirmed in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 that the design of the safety function corresponds to the specifications of the safety requirement of the machine. Deviations and errors are thus detected and prevented during implementation or realization. We ensure for you that functional safety is guaranteed.
Service definition:
" Creation of a validation plan
" Analysis of the safety functions
" Documentation of the validation in a confirmed customer report
" Performance of required inspections, tests and measurements
" Safety testing (black box test specification)
" Documentation of testing in a confirmed customer report
Validation is based on technical documentation
" design documents (e.g. risk assessment)

" technical documentation (e.g. EPLAN)
An instruction manual in the official language(s) of the respective member state must accompany each machine. In doing so, we check your operating instructions with regard to compliance with the Machinery Directive.
" Inspection of the existing operating instructions to determine whether the requirements of the Machinery Directive have been met
" Documentation of the inspection points
" Operating instructions
" Risk assessment
