Mechanical and
plant engineering
Similarly as in the area of
metal processing, the mechanical
and plant engineering
is typical by its variedness
of activities performed. When
planning the lighting system
it is inevitable to take into
consideration the specific
demands they place on the
lighting solution.
The area of the mechanical and
plant engineering represents
a whole spectrum of activities
typical in various levels of precisions:
from the basic assembly
through handling with small
components up to the demanding
visual quality control. In
general it can be said that the
more precision demanding the
activity the employee carries out
is, the higher the requirements
on the lighting quality are laid.
The European standard
EN 12464-1 states for the
production premises in this line
of business the minimal levels
of the maintained illuminance
from 200 lux to 750 lux in
dependence on the activity realised.
The scientific research and
our experience from practice
confirms that a higher illuminance
level positively affects the
visual and psychological wellbeing
of the employees and
stimulates their performance
efficiency and therefore we also
recommend to maintain higher
illuminance levels in those
spaces where the standard does
not require it.
To achieve the standard stated
values of the minimal maintained
illuminance, it is suitable
to use the linear luminaires with
the direct characteristic of the
luminous flux distribution which
help us gain sufficient quality of
lighting uniformity. In the case it
is the assembly line production,
it is recommended to place the
luminaires parallely with the
assembly line.
The construction and technological
parameters of our luminaire
Prestige, which is able to
achieve appropriate illuminance
level with mounting hight up to
12 metres, enable the lighting
designer to use this lighting
fixture also in high halls.
By choosing the optimal light
source for this industrial space,
LED light sources could be the
most economical and effective
solution. They achieve high
lifespan values, they are typical
by high efficacy and effectiveness
and due to their low failure
rate and long lifespan they do
not represent any increased
burden from the point of view
of the maintenance costs.
In the spaces that are not defined
as sterile but at the same
time they place large demands
on the workplace cleanliness,
it is necessary to use luminaires
which can be cleaned easily and
which do not contain components
where impurities or dust
is trapped.
The more precision demanding the
activity the employee carries out is,
the higher the requirements on the
lighting quality are laid.
In production halls with standard
hight of the walls it is suitable to
use linear luminaires with the direct
characteristic of the luminous flux.
To obtain the standard stated levels
of the maintained illuminance it
production halls with non standard
hight of the walls (6 m and more)
it is important to choose luminaires
that can be used in different
mounting hight
Special requirements on the
lighting solution are laid by the
workplaces equipped with the
visual display units (VDU). To
prevent the rise of undesirable
reflections on the screens which
would disturb the employees or
make it impossible to distinguish
the displayed information,
it is suitable to use the
non-glaring luminaires, e.g.
the special computer workstation
luminaires or luminaires
fitted with microprism which is
the most effective method of
spreading the soft diffuse light.
For activities with demanding
visual tasks (e.g. inspection or
handling with small components),
it is recommended to
support the main illumination
with additional table luminaires
in the place of the visual task.
For the inspection activities the
luminaires with a narrow luminous
intensity curve represent a
suitable solution.
