Meeting Evolving Standards

Keeping machinery running to current health & safety standards - and keeping your workforce up to speed on safe practices - is a growing challenge. Machinery manufacturers must navigate a mass of continuously evolving standards centred on the Machinery Directive, verifying that each machine meets the directive's safety requirements and complies with the harmonised standards published in the EU's official journal.

Where Pneumatics Fit In

Pneumatic products are generally not designed as safety components, so they aren't directly covered under legislative scope - yet they are frequently used to satisfy safety-related functions. Working out which parts are most beneficial, and how to integrate them into your existing system, is often difficult. That's where Airlane's experience comes in.
