Applications




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Area Guarding
 
     The device monitors an area that has the potential to cause harm. When an intrusion occurs the machine or process shuts down. Fixed or sweeping type devices can perform this.
 
   Perimeter Guarding
 
     The device monitors the edge or perimeter of a process or machine, shutting the system down when it detects intrusion into the area.
 
   Door / Gate Guarding
 
     A door or gate that restricts entrance during operation.
 
   Machine Protection
 
     Safeguarding devices used to monitor and guard operators on a specific machine.
 
   Process Protection
 
     Process safeguarding is concerned with the safety of machinery and industrial processes during periods of service and maintenance.

Technology




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Contact Strip and Bumper
 
     Pressure sensitive safety edges, strips or bumpers that shut down the system when contact is sensed.
 
   Light Curtains
 
     Light curtains generate multiple beams of light via a photoelectric transmitter.  A receiver unit picks up the projected array of synchronized, parallel infrared light beams. When an opaque object interrupts one or more beams, the light curtain controller sends a stop signal to the guarded machine.
 
   Laser Presence Sensing
 
     Laser presence sensors are used commonly in area guarding applications. They sweep and detect objects that can be harmed in a large area.
 
   RF Safeguarding Devices
 
     RF presence sensors transmit a high frequency signal that, when disturbed, alters the field and shuts the machine or process down.
 
   Intrinsic Safety Barrier
 
     Intrinsic Safety (IS) barriers are devices that limit the current, voltage, or total energy delivered to a sensor in a hazardous area, or flammable environment, to prevent an explosion.
 
   Safety Relay
 
     Safety relays differ from conventional relays in that they have force guided (positive driven) contacts.
 
   Cable Pull Switch
 
     Cable pull switches can be tripped anywhere along the cable to force and emergency stop. The cable must be tight and have appropriate tension applied to set or reset the switch.
 
   Safety Interlock Switch
 
     Safety interlock switches come in many form factors. They may be either contact or non-contact with many technology variations with each.
 
   Safety Mats
 
     Safety mats are presence-sensing devices used to guard an area of the floor around a machine or robot. 
 
   Safety Gate
 
     Safety gates are movable barriers that protect the operator at the point of operation before the machine cycle can be started.
 
   Two Hand Modules
 
     The two-hand control requires constant, concurrent pressure by the operator to activate the machine.
 
   Ultrasonic Sensor
 
     Ultrasonic sensors use high frequency sound to monitor processes or machines.
 
   Emergency Stop (E-stop) Switch
 
     Emergency stop switches initiate a complete shutdown of a system or process by pushing a single button or flipping a switch.
 
   Measuring and Profiling Scanner
 
     Devices that are used to look for part presence, measuring products in different orientations, and are able to draw or present profiles of customer selected objects.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
