Hi guys,
I am trying to persude a customer that activating an emergency stop when his machine jams up is the correct action to take. His machine jams regularly and he wants to add a general stop button to stop his plant when this occurs rather than activating the E-stop. There is already stop buttons but he wants them remotely around his plant. I have no problem carrying out this work as its extra money but i'm just interested in other peoples opinion on how an e-stop should be used.
My own defination would take it that an emergency stop should be activated if there is immediate danger of someone being hurt or damage being done to the equipment. Am I correct in this or should it be for people only?
Also does anyone know where I can download or read guidelines on emergency stop regulations for the UK and EU?
regards
Jonny
