In the event of an emergency it is generally essential that machinery is stopped as fast as safety allows. Certain types of machines do not have braking systems and will just run down to a standstill when the emergency stop button is activated.

Solon Systems Limited offers an extensive range of DC Injection Braking Systems that can be simply retrofitted to most types of machinery.

These brakes can be Production Brakes or Emergency Brakes. Most are adjustable to suit the application.

For woodworking machines the legislation demands that certain machines such as circular saws and planer/ thicknessers must stop within 10 seconds of activating the Emergency Stop button. A full listing of the machines requiring braking systems can be found on the HSE web site (www.hse.gov.uk)
