In industrial environments where pneumatic systems play a crucial role in powering machinery and tools, safety is of paramount importance. To minimize the risk of accidents during maintenance and repairs, devices such as Pneumatic Lockouts are essential. These devices, certified to the IEC 60947-2 standard, provide a critical layer of protection by preventing the accidental release of pneumatic energy, thus safeguarding workers and maintaining compliance with international safety regulations.

Understanding Pneumatic Lockouts Pneumatic lockouts are safety devices used to isolate and lock out pneumatic systems during maintenance, repair, or service activities. They are designed to block the flow of compressed air or other gases that power pneumatic equipment, ensuring that no unexpected pressurization or operation occurs. Pneumatic systems are commonly found in manufacturing plants, assembly lines, and other industrial settings, where they control various machinery and processes. Given the high energy involved in pneumatic systems, the potential for injury is significant if these systems are activated during maintenance or repair.
