Sinorix™ al-deco STD – knowing that

all machines are protected from fire
without compromise.
The European jurisdiction claims fire protection for machine tools
and their equipment that have a high risk of a fire incident. There-
fore, Siemens offers the intelligent Sinorix™ al-deco STD object
protection system with the following main features: fire detection
and extinguishing without requiring an electrical source, online
monitoring and automatic recording of all security-relevant
functions. In short: uncompromising protection and safety.

Uncompromising –
all-around protection for safety.
The Sinorix™ al-deco STD object protection system can be easily tailored to
individual requirements. Thus, reliable and effective all-around protection
for machine tools is ensured.
