Solution: The safety light curtains of the MLC series with various resolutions ranging from 14 to 40 mm offer reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation to be realized. Guarding of points of operation Requirement: The point of operation at a machine or system is to be guarded by an electro-sensitive protective device. The necessary distance between the protective device and point of operation is to be as small as possible. Requirement: Access to the point of operation is to be guarded by means of a safety light...

Guarding of foot space on side-tracking shelves Requirement: While the side-tracking shelf is moving, the foot space is to be monitored for the presence of persons. If multiple shelf rows are installed one behind the other, there must be no interference between the sensor signals of the rows. Guarding of narrow openings Solution: The SLS 46C single light beam safety devices monitor the foot space over a length of up to 70 m. They are available as a type 4 variant and as a particularly easy-to-align type 2 variant. The use of models with red light and infrared light prevents mutual...

Requirement: Access to a dangerous area at a machine or system is to be guarded. To enable simple entry and exit of material, optoelectronic safety sensors are to be used. Solution: The MLD 300/500 multiple light beam safety devices provide cost-effective access guarding solutions. The transceiver models with an operating range of up to 8 m are especially easy to install. For wide-area guarding, transmitter/receiver models are available with a range of up to 70 m. Requirement: Access to the working range is to be guarded while the machine is in operation. To enable material entry and exit,...

Access guarding on conveyor lines, with muting function Requirement: Access guarding on conveyor lines is to prevent persons from accessing the danger zone, while at the same time allowing the transported goods to pass through. Access guarding on conveyor lines, with Smart Process Gating Solution: The muting function bridges the safety sensor in a controlled manner to allow the transported goods to pass through. This function is already integrated in the MLD 300/500 multiple light beam safety devices and the MLC 500 safety light curtains. The MSI-MD-FB muting interface and MSI 400 safety...

Solution: The RSL 400 safety laser scanners use configurable protective fields for area monitoring. Thanks to the 8.25 m operating range and 270° scanning angle, large areas can be guarded with just one device. Guarding of hazardous areas Requirement: The hazardous working range of the machine is to be guarded against entry by and the presence of persons. The contour of the monitored area is to be adapted to the contour of the machine. Requirement: To prevent danger, the process is not permitted to restart until it has been ensured that no persons are in the work area or in the hidden area....

Guarding and navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) Requirement: The transportation path of the AGV must be guarded by means of safety sensors. The protective fields are to be flexibly adapted to the movement and loading situation. If the principle of natural navigation is used, the device needs to provide measurement data for the navigation software at the same time. Solution: The RSL 400 safety laser scanner merges safety technology and high-quality measurement value output in a single device. It has a scanning range of 270° and 100 reversible field pairs. Two scanners therefore...

Requirement: Moving protective devices such as doors and flaps protect the operator from hazards. The closed state of the protective devices must be monitored. Solution: The safety switches of the S20/200 series with their robust housings and wide range of installation options can be used universally. The contactless, magnetically coded switches of the MC series are ideal for use in harsh, dirty or damp environments. Monitoring of doors and flaps, with high protection against manipulation Solution: The RD 800 contactless safety transponders with RFID coding offer maximum protection against...
