Pneumatic/Fluid Design Services
Pneumatic design support for machinery upgrades, safety improvements and automation systems. We help design, review and document pneumatic systems, including corrective actions identified through machinery risk assessments, PUWER assessments and safety reviews.
Pneumatic Upgrades and Corrective Actions
Neuguard provides pneumatic design support for machinery builders, automation suppliers and manufacturers requiring new pneumatic systems, modifications to existing equipment or safety-related improvements.
Pneumatic corrective actions are often identified during risk assessments, PUWER assessments or machinery safety reviews. These may include improvements to actuator control, safe exhaust, pressure regulation, load holding, speed control, isolation, unexpected start-up prevention or safety-rated pneumatic components.
We can help develop practical pneumatic solutions that reduce risk while remaining suitable for the machine, task and production environment.
Pneumatic Schematics and Documentation
Clear pneumatic documentation is important for safe operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and compliance.
We can produce or update pneumatic schematics, component schedules, circuit descriptions, functional descriptions and supporting technical documentation.
This can be developed from existing drawings, site surveys, photographs, installed equipment or corrective actions identified during an assessment.
Where existing pneumatic documentation is missing, outdated or incomplete, we can help recreate drawings and provide clearer information for maintenance and future modifications.
Safe Pneumatic Control
Pneumatic systems can introduce significant hazards where stored energy, unexpected movement, loss of pressure, uncontrolled exhaust or actuator movement are not properly considered.
We can help review and design pneumatic control measures relating to safe stopping, pressure release, actuator speed control, load holding, safety-rated valves, safe isolation and maintenance access.
Where required, pneumatic design support can be integrated with machinery risk assessments, safety requirement specifications, EN ISO 13849-1 considerations, PUWER assessments and CE/UKCA technical documentation.
