 SHARP WITH CERTAINTY

Safety solutions from Schmersal for the Berger Group

The CNC machines and robot cells of the Berger Group grind and sharpen (almost) everything that needs to be permanently sharp. Solenoid interlocks, control panels and safety controllers from Schmersal are used for position monitoring and interlocking of the safety doors on the robot cells.

 FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AT A GLANCE

The Industrial Internet of Things: Collecting data, analysing information and improving production

The Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT has an important role to play as both a technology and a concept within the fourth industrial revolution. Devices, machinery and applications are being networked together so that they can share data and information. These can then be evaluated and analysed, thus helping to contribute to improvements in the efficiency of production and to minimising downtimes. But exactly how can this concept be implemented, and what benefits does it actually offer? Volker Heinzer, strategic product manager at the Schmersal Group, offers answers to these and other questions in this interview.

 MACHINE SAFETY IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL AND FOOD INDUSTRY

 Cutting frozen products – but safely

Food manufacturers around the world use Magurit freeze cutters. The company sets standards in terms of quality, productivity and machine safety. It therefore goes without saying that the components installed, such as safety switchgear from Schmersal, must also fulfil the high standards. Added to this are requirements such as tamper protection and hygienic design. In the following article, you will find out what is important and what solutions are available.

The colour makes the difference

New Door handle system DHS

Door handle systems should be safe and ergonomic. If they are also easy to install and offer a high level of transparency at the human-machine interface, the user has everything in view and under control.

TIME-OF-FLIGHT CAMERA FOR AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

3D view of intralogistics processes 

A 3D camera expands the options offered by sensor systems in intralogistics by another dimension. This allows the camera to offer precise real-time capture of fill levels or a comprehensive view of the process. In addition, it can also be used as the ‘eye’ of IIoT applications, allowing it to determine KPIs such as ‘Overall Equipment Efficiency’ (OEE).

EVALUATION OF OPERATIONAL AND SAFETY-ORIENTED SIGNALS

In focus: the safety of machinery and connectivity

New gateway, new Safety Fieldbox and a new 3D camera – just some of the exhibits that Schmersal will be showcasing at SPS. All three components will be live demonstrated in an IIoT demonstrator to highlight the practical benefits that continuous connectivity has to offer – especially in terms of the safety of machinery.

THE SAFETY OF MACHINERY – CONNECTIVITY IS WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

New networking concepts - no need for wiring 

Integration, networking and linking are important trends in automation technolo-gy. Both a machine’s manufacturer and user can reap the benefits of digitisation, such as increased productivity, easy adaptation to individual requirements and improved error diagnosis. The Schmersal Group will be showcasing innovations in safety-oriented networking at SPS.

HERE’S TO POSITIVE COOPERATION!

Planning and construction of a collaborative robot cell 

Safe collaboration between humans and robots in collaborative work systems is both possible and offers clear benefits, including in packaging processes. There are, however, a number of prerequisites that need to be satisfied, and several machinery safety standards that must be taken into consideration

A GLIMPSE INTO THE STANDARDS JUNGLE

Practical application of new standards based on a project example

When planning and designing a machine plant, there is a range of standards and directives that must be taken into account, and it can be easy to lose track. If those standards then get amended while the project is ongoing, you need to pay special attention. Using an intralogistics project as an example, we’ll show you why functional machine safety is so complex and what needs to be taken into account in different areas of machine and systems engineering.
