The range of application for the new MZM 120 is clearly defined. The safety sensor is designed for applications whereby machinery and plants are cleaned by means of hot steam or high-pressure water jet systems and aggressive cleaning agents. In other words, it is particularly destined to the construction of food-processing machinery, for which Schmersal also has developed other industry-specific safety switchgear. more
Besides introducing new safety products on SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2011 the Schmersal Group also presented its extended services portfolio. more
"A single product series for all imaginable application scenarios": With this idea in mind the Schmersal centre of excellence for optoelectronic safety products in Mühldorf/Inn, Germany, has developed new type 4 safety light curtains and light-grids according to IEC/ EN 61496, and first introduced those innovations on SPS/ IPC/ DRIVES. more
At SPS/IPC/DRIVES, the Schmersal Group will present the new PROTECT SELECT series, thus closing the gap between safety relay modules and programmable safety control systems. more

Compact safety switchgear for the passive safety circuit
In the passive safety circuit of elevators, compact and highly reliable position switches with safety function are required, such as slack-wire switches, safety catch switches, movable buffers, buffer monitoring switches, limit switches…. more
New degrees of freedom for the machine builder and user!
The new Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) allows the use of so-called special operating modes. This means that, under certain, accurately defined circumstances a machine may be operated with the safety guard open e.g. during the set-up procedure. more
For the exemplary design of man-machine interfaces
The typical “minimum” equipment of the man-machine interface on safety guards of modern machine tools consists of a door-handle, a solenoid interlock, an emergency stop device, a release button and signalling lamps to display the locking condition. more
For "streamlined" man-machine interfaces and intuitive operation:
Forwards, backwards, right and left: Spring-return joystick switches from the Schmersal Group allow the operator to move a woodworking machine tool in four directions. more
