Sinorix al-deco PLUS
Object protection systems for machine tools
8
■
Overview
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 ob-
ject 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 13849-1:2008, Category 4 Performance Level e – and is
therefore in possession of the CE approval including a type test
certificate.

Function
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 ma-
chine 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 extin-
guishing media are used.
Using Sinorix al-deco PLUS, fire detection and extinguishing are
purely pneumatic – without electrical power supply and inde-
pendent of the machine tool. As a result, Sinorix al-deco is insen-
sitive to all kinds of technical interferences, and it is foolproof.
This ensures continuous machine operation and reduces the
maintenance overhead.
