The Leader in Safety Interlocks
The versatile tGard gets better with a new HLC variant
High level coding (HLC) will empower safety personnel to detect guard opening and reteach sensors if they are broken or lost. An RFID sensor can be easily integrated into a guard locking solution to monitor locking state up to Cat. 4 PLe and monitor position of the guard up to Cat. 4 PLe.
Expandable Safety Controller Now Available with Banner In-Series Diagnostics
The expandable XS26-ISDd allows users to configure and monitor up to 394 connected safety devices—such as E-stop buttons, safety switches, safety light screens, two-hand controls, and rope-pull switches—and controls up to 68 independent safety outputs.
In-Series Diagnostics (ISD) allows you to keep your finger on the pulse of your systems without special equipment or designated cabling. Manage and troubleshoot equipment performance on your own (without needing to rely on outside experts) by implementing a simple series controller that connects your Banner (and non-Banner) safety devices for easy access to detailed diagnostic data.
A new type of motor control device from Phoenix Contact
Streamline safety with integrated STO features offering emergency stop capabilities up to SIL3/PLe when used in conjunction with a suitable safety relay or safe PLC.
Lockout and starting with a single system from Euchner
In combination with highly coded, transponder-based keys, the CKS2 key adapter forms a safe system that meets the highest safety requirements for machine and installation lockout and starting.
Festo's soft start/quick exhaust valves MS6-SV cut off the power to critical components in the blink of an eye when an emergency stop is triggered. They also restart the system with the same care and reliability once the problem has been eliminated.
