Schmersal Industrial Switchgear Co. Ltd. Schmersal Safety Control GmbH BÖHNKE + PARTNER GmbH STEUERUNGSSYSTEME In 1999, Schmersal set up a production plant at China to provide the “Global Players” of the elevator industry with elevator switchgear for the booming Chinese market. At the end of 2008, the Schmersal Group took over Safety Control GmbH and Safety Protec GmbH situated at Mühldorf / Inn, two companies specialised in the development and production of safety light grids and safety light curtains. The plant has become the Competence Centre for optoelectronic safety devices. Since 2012,...

3. Raw material extraction Raw materials are needed on all continents of the world. The requirements placed on the ambient conditions to be applied for man and machine in underground or surface mining are accordingly demanding. The applied technology must function perfectly at all times - under all circumstances, such as very low and high temperatures, dust concentrations of up to 30 g per m², weathering, rain, ice or intensive UV radiation. Our position switches, pull-wire emergency stop switches and command devices are especially adapted to these ambient conditions. However, should something...

Applications In addition to the here presented practical examples, our product programme includes other products and system solutions for the safe evaluation of signals, switching and detection including the necessary accessories. The application examples shown in this brochure are an excerpt of the application possibilities. For the protection of hazardous plants in the operating, service or maintenance areas of devices, machinery or plants in the mining industry, we also have a comprehensive portfolio of safety mats, solenoid interlocks and trapped key systems. End and position detection on...

4. Raw material handling and transport 4.1 Loading and unloading For the different positioning and control tasks to be executed during loading and unloading operations, we offer a comprehensive programme of mechanical and electromechanical system components with special approvals. Some standardised switch series for instance have a GL and/or IECex approval. In addition to that, the large choice of actuators enables the most various applications on "ship-to-shore" plants. Integration in automation concepts is possible through the AS-i field bus system. Our non-contact magnetic switches of the...

Applications During the loading and unloading of Super-Post-Panamax vessels, speed, accuracy and failsafe performance are of paramount priority. That is the reason why many world market leaders of the crane and shipbuilding industry use switchgear from Schmersal. From loading hatch monitoring up to the detection of hoisting and lifting devices, the Schmersal programme also covers applications exposed to the harshest environmental conditions. Loading hatch monitoring and positioning Our standardised switches toEN 50047/50041 are the perfect solution to be used on vessels, in bulk goods loading...
