Production goals can often push safety conversations to the background—but one overlooked hazard can bring everything to a halt.
In fast-moving manufacturing environments, it’s easy to focus on output and efficiency. But without the right safety measures, even your best-performing equipment can pose serious risks. That’s why Power/mation, in partnership with Pieper Automation, is hosting two in-depth Risk Assessment Workshops to help you proactively identify and mitigate machine safety hazards—before they result in injuries, unplanned downtime, or costly compliance issues.
Easily “disable” specific beams continually blocked by a stationary object
Quickly configure portions of an S4B Safety Light Curtain’s sensing field to ignore fixed objects such as brackets, tooling, or part supports with Banner’s Remote Fixed Blanking Configuration Tool. A simple turn of a key performs fast teaching or reteaching of the light curtains or cascades, providing machine safety without complex programming or redesigning processes to accommodate these objects.
Festo recently released an innovative new offering for control engineers and programmers looking to master servo drive technology. The CMMT-ST starter kit provides a complete package for learning how to commission and size their multi-protocol family of servo drives — at half the cost of purchasing the components individually.
PSR-UNI fills the gap between traditional machine safety relays and configurable safety controllers. With the press of a button and the turn of a wheel, PSR-UNI relays can be configured to monitor emergency stop buttons, light curtains, and even two-hand control.
Built using ABB’s versatile GoFaTM 12 collaborative robot, the OmniVance Collaborative Machine Tending Cell is the perfect fit for high-mix, low volume tasks.
