Safety

Product overview


Safety

Our safety technology includes products that are necessary in the areas of machine and plant safety in order to comply with the applicable legal and safety requirements. Preventing accidents that are hazardous to the health of the people operating the machines is the primary goal - likewise, productivity should not be impaired.

Tactile Sensor Systems (mat, bumper, edge)

Tactile sensor systems are modeled on the human sense of touch, allowing touch to be perceived. They are used, for example, to protect crushing and shearing points in the machine area, such as in automatic sliding doors of e.g. CNC machines.

Safety Switches

The guard locking devices and interlocks are used in the form of key or key transfer systems, optionally with forced key removal, where the entire area of a machine or system is to be protected against access. Both mechanical and electromagnetic variants are available, as well as models with RFID.

Key Transfer System

A key transfer system contains keys that are mechanically locked or released after a specified sequence. The aim is to make it possible to enter the plant only when it is in a safe state.

Optical Sensor Systems

Optoelectronic sensors are devices that detect objects by means of light (within a certain spectrum) and can thus trigger control, switching and regulating functions. Electrical pulses are converted into light pulses by the transmitter of the optical sensor and these are converted back into electrical signals by the receiver.

Radar System

The first certified volumetric safety system with radar technology can be used to safeguard areas where optical and tactile systems reach their limits due to environmental conditions (e.g. dust. smoke, steam, production waste). The controllers of the can be combined with both sensors as desired.

Safety PLC

Safety controllers capable of replacing any safety relay and supporting all types of safety components (limit switches, curtains, barriers, interlocks, muting, e-stops, cams, ambidextrous buttons, pushbuttons and 3-position pedals) but also total encoders and network gates, as well as AS-I bus support. Their use in applications allows the requirements of the Machinery Directive for new machines and the Tooling Directive for old machines to be met.

Safety Relay

Safety relays are products designed to operate safety components such as curtains, barriers, E-stops, mats, slats, limit switches, ambidextrous controls, pedals and three-position pushbuttons, and to perform muting or time switch functions, all of which are realised through reduced/failure-resistant circuits certified up to safety category 4 and meeting the requirements of EU directives (tool and machine).

Wireless Safety

Wireless components allow safety functions to be realised without the use of wiring. Thanks to digital bidirectional transmission, it is possible to achieve safety level SIL3 without the use of wired connections.

Radio Remote Controls

Radio remote controls ensure safety during work such as commissioning, maintenance and servicing. Since they can be used wirelessly, there is no need for costly and time-consuming cable repairs.

Operating Units

With the emergency stop button, the enabling button and the two-hand control, the safety chain from the input to the output device is guaranteed.

Safety Fences 

The protective enclosures are the complement to safety switches, key systems, light grids, safety contact mats, etc.

Signal Transmission System / Safety Drive Controls

Our safety technology includes products that are indispensable in the safety areas of machines and installations in order to comply with current legal and safety requirements. The overriding aim is to prevent accidents that endanger the health of operators - and this should not reduce productivity.

Radarsystem

Mit dem ersten zertifizierten volumetrischen Sicherheitssystem mit Radartechnologie können Bereiche abgesichert werden, bei denen optische und taktile Systeme aufgrund von Umgebungsbedingungen (z.B. Staub. Rauch, Dampf, Produktionsabfälle) an ihre Grenzen stoßen. Die Controller der können mit beiden Sensoren beliebig kombiniert werden.

Funkfernsteuerungen

Funkfernsteuerungen sichern bei Arbeiten wie Inbetriebnahme, Wartung, Instandhaltung. Da sie kabellos einsetzbar sind, erübrigen sich kosten- und zeitintensive Kabelreparaturen.

Bedienelemente

Mit dem Not-Halt-Taster, dem Zustimmtaster und der Zweihandsteuerung wird die Sicherheitskette vom Eingabe bis zum Ausgabegerät garantiert.

Schutzumhausungen

Die Schutzumhausungen stellen die Ergänzung zu Sicherheitsschaltern, Schlüsselsystemen, Lichtgittern, Sicherheitskontaktmatten etc. dar.
