Industria Bergamasca Mobili S.p.A. , ISO 9001 and ISO TS16949 certified, works in the field of injection moulding of plastic materials and employs advanced technologies both in its moulding process (for example with RHCM) and in the automation of the production lines.
Accessafe has been commissioned to develop the project to ensure the safety of 9 injection moulding machines for thermoplastic moulds, including the associated unloading automation.
Having taken on board the risk analysis prepared by the client and the ESRs (Essential Safety Requirements), Accessafe’s technicians developed the safety barrier layout in accordance with the harmonised standards, including the access control design in accordance with the PLr obtained, as required by the relevant UNI EN ISO 13849:2016 standard.
In just 3 weeks from the date the technical specifications were approved, Accessafe delivered the complete turnkey project:
Material
- Penta Guard Fencing System, 20 x 100 mm mesh ,2520 mm height combined with Meta 1 Fixing Brackets 60×60 mm section
- N.1 controlled access by means of a FG60 sensor in the Clo.Sys lock combined with a FR992 micro-switch in order to achieve PLd.
Mechanical component assembly
- Assembly of guard fencing panels and access control system
Laying and cabling of implemented parts
- Wire and cable sleeving, sensor connection and interfacing
- Control Electrical Cabinet
- N.1 signal light
Functional tests and documentation release
Upon installation termination, functional tests were carried out in the presence of plant manufacturer and BM SpA operators in order to release the following documentation:
- Certification
- User and Maintenance Manuals
- Technical Data Sheets and Electrical layouts
The above mentioned documentation was essential for the plant user to achieve CE marking for the complete line.
Meta 1 fixing brackets 60×60 section with captive screw as per EN ISO 14120

In-depth analysis by Marco Vaccarone CMSE® Certified Machinery Safety Expert follows below
Such features allowed us to manage part-exit opening on a conveyor belt and as residual risk apply dedicated notices (92/58/CEE Directive) which would inform operators about the eventual risks of mounting the belt. By doing so we delivered a safe solution without having to apply photo-electric barriers. »
