Leuze free-of-charge machine safety seminar in North West for first time

This is the first time these half-day training workshops have been held in the North West, thanks to the support of HMK. HMK Direct, as a Siemens Technology Partner for Safety, has a wealth of experience in automation and works with Leuze electronic to offer in-depth knowledge of machine safety legislation, issues and solutions. Kevin Ellison, the presenter and technical support engineer at Leuze electronic says: "We have had a wide variety of people travel to our previous workshops at our office in St Neots, including people from as far away as Cornwall and Aberdeen. The majority, however, have been from companies close to our office and so I am looking forward to meeting new people by taking 'the show on the road', so to speak". Managing director of Leuze electronic, Mark Weymouth, adds: "The Machine Safety market is complicated by some consultants who over complicate the issues and create fear, and some suppliers who treat machine safety as a commodity product. These sessions are designed to show a different, middle-way, with Leuze offering high performance products that are easy to install and use, combined with the expertise of Leuze and an automation expert like HMK Direct to support customers on their applications."
