An electronic survey of Control Design readers was conducted in October 2013 in order to identify usage and application trends of machine safety among the industrial machine builders that comprise Control Design's readership.
We asked about builders' biggest machine safety design headaches, and 51.8% report it's hard to know what standards and regulations to apply; 32.9% say their worst problem is operators trying to defeat the safety system; and 15.3% add that fully operational safety systems impede their productivity.
