The short answer: The machine-friendly LOTO product is selected by determining the actual size of the energy type and energy separation element. Without the photo and size of the switch, valve or connection, a reliable product can not be selected only according to the name of the machine.
Where to start the product selection?
First, all energy sources of the machine are determined, such as electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, thermal and land-tracking. The switch, valve, fist, fast connection or mechanical blocking point that physically separates energy for each source is recorded.
What measurements should be taken?
The arm width, thickness and body emptiness in the switch; the size of the arm or wheel in the valves; the body and cable diameter in the fixes; the connection profile is measured in pneumatic connections.
Does the product fit all machines?
No. Universal products can be adapted to different sizes, but they do not provide a complete conformity to all brands and models.
How to verify the right product?
When the apparatus is locked, the energy separation element should not be removed from a secure location and the product should not be discharged without key. Then the work test and appropriate control of the lack of energy are performed.
