What is electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE)?

Electro-sensitive protective equipment such as light curtains, light barriers, light grids and safety laser scanners offers reliable protection for staff and machinery. As soon as an object is detected within the detection field, the device initiates a stop signal and the machine is stopped until the object is removed.

Living up to the most challenging ambient conditions, electro-sensitive protective equipment is suitable for a vast field of applications, ranging from the manufacturing industry to aviation, health, military and transport.

Why are ESPE inspections necessary?

The German Industrial Safety Regulation (§ 14 BetrSichV) requires regular inspection of production facilities. According to § 14 of these regulations, companies have to undergo initial and periodic inspections to ensure the correct installation and functionality of their work equipment.

Who is authorised to carry out these safety inspections?

According to the German Industrial Safety Regulation, inspections of light barriers and other electro-sensitive protective equipment may only be carried out by qualified personnel with

a professional technical training
at least one year of experience with the inspected facility
proof of regular advanced training and qualification

To ensure the professional inspection, maintenance and repair or your products, our technicians do regular training courses with TÜV Süd and various protective equipment manufacturers.
