Product information OPTOELECTRONIC SAFETY GUARDS

Heinz and Philip Schmersal, Managing Directors of the Schmersal Group New solutions to improve production efficiency and machine safety Safety in system – Protection for man and machine Often, it is unavoidable that people have to intervene with the workings of a machine. When this is done, the safety of the operator is imperative. This demands the responsibility of the machine operator, which is also required by the world's standards and guidelines for machine safety. The Schmersal Group has concentrated for many years on safety at work with our products and solutions; today we can offer...

OPTOELECTRONIC SAFETY DEVICES DESCRIPTION USAGE / SELECTION OF AOPD In order to choose the appropriate active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) such as light barriers or light curtains/grids to use them correctly, both the requirements of the standards (EN ISO 13849-1, EN ISO 13855, C standards etc.) and product-specific features (detection sensitivity, range, etc.) must be taken into account. AOPD’s can be used, provided that: ■ he dangerous movement can be stopped at all times and that it is ensured that the T dangerous area can only be reached after the movement has come to a...

SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS WITH BLUETOOTH® INTERFACE BLE The App "SLC Assist" The App gives information about ■ perating mode O ■ eam signal level B ■ OSSD status ■ Status of the protective field ■ umber of OSSD switches N ■ upply voltage S ■ Operating time Beam signal level: ★★★ = perfect alignment ✩✩✩ = optimisation required Device Status Operating Mode You will define the service cycles for the safety relay module via the OSSD switching counter. The information of the total operating time is the basis for planning the periodic inspection. Field Status Beam Signal Level OSSD Status OSSD...

OPTOELECTRONIC SAFETY DEVICES MODES OF OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS SAFETY LIGHT BARRIERS All SLB photoelectric barriers have fail-safe integrated semi-conductor outputs (2 x PNP) and can be incorporated directly in the safety circuit without external safety monitoring. The new product family meets the requirements of all type 2 or type 4 applications in accordance with EN 61496. The safety photoelectric barriers are distinguished by extremely small dimensions which means that they can be well placed in the surrounding structure and can also be mounted easily and quickly even in tight spaces....

OBJECT BLANKING For safe production, object blanking can be used to blank just part of the protection field. This makes it possible to add objects, e.g. workpieces, or position a conveyor belt with a fixed position in the protection field. With integrated movable object blanking (floating blanking) of the SLC440/445 light curtains, up to 2 light beams of the light curtain can be blanked flexibly. This function is required if there is a need to be able to interrupt light beams in the protection field at a position that is not specifically defined. Different blanking functions are available....

OPTOELECTRONIC SAFETY DEVICES SAFETY DISTANCE SAFETY DISTANCE The stopping time for the complete system and the resolution capacity of the AOPD essentially determines the required safety distance of the AOPD to the dangerous area. The safety light grid or light curtain must be sized and installed so that a stop signal would be transmitted and the hazard ceased prior to a person or a body part accessing the danger zone. The standard ISO 13855 provides the user with detailed information about the calculation of the minimum safety distances. These include the following important influencing...
