Sinorix al-deco PLUS - Object protection systems for machine tools

Sinorix al‑deco PLUS are automated object protection systems for machine tools that are safe for personnel. Sinorix al‑deco PLUS fights the fire where it breaks out – in the machine tool – without posing a risk to people, the environment, or technical components.

European law requires an integrated fire protection system for oil-cooled machine tools with fire risk. Sinorix al‑deco PLUS object protection systems meet the highest safety requirements in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Sinorix al‑deco PLUS is characterized by worldwide unique operator protection, ensures detection and extinguishing in current-free operation as well as online monitoring and automatic recording of all safety-related functions.

The Sinorix al‑deco PLUS object protection system satisfies all relevant safety regulations and standards - in accordance with EN ISO 13849‑1:2015, Category 4 Performance Level e – and therefore has the CE approval including a type test certificate.

• Fire extinguishing system with maximum safety for personnel, machine and environment
• Object protection system with safest operator protection worldwide
• Detection and extinguishing success even without cleaning and maintenance work ensured
• Insensitive to all kinds of technical interferences
• Log file of all system data for verification purposes
• 2-channel monitoring for all safety-related functions.
• Use of self-monitoring components
• Double-secured blocking of extinguishing activation when machine door is open
• Only a qualified person is allowed to perform two-channel locking of the machine door after tripping of the system

2-channel signals:

• Emergency Stop
• Protection zone closed and locked feedback message
• Interlocking of protection zone
• Mode selector switch
• Automatic-operation
• Manual operation (without object protection system)

Sinorix al‑deco PLUS object protection systems correspond to the highest safety requirements in accordance with the new Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and offer unique operator protection. This is ensured by double-secured cable routing in conjunction with redundant and self-monitoring components. Thanks to this technology, the machine tool cannot be operated until successful completion of a system check – and the machine door is unlocked only after successful and tested blocking of the extinguishing activation.

Sinorix al‑deco PLUS ensures that the intended functions are carried out only if they do not endanger the safety and health of persons. This applies in particular if oxygen suppressing extinguishing media are used.

Using Sinorix al‑deco PLUS, fire detection and extinguishing are purely pneumatic – without electrical power supply and independent of the machine tool. As a result, Sinorix al‑deco is insensitive to all kinds of technical interferences, and it is foolproof. This ensures continuous machine operation and reduces the maintenance overhead.
