Mobile and safe
Tailored safety technology supports the the flexibility of a welding cell [mehr]
The mobile welding cell from the Guttroff group of companies offers a whole load of technology in a compact space, is delivered in no time and is enormously flexible in terms
of potential applications. The user can select whether to buy or rent the “welding robot to go” and in either scenario gains access to welding know-how and services. The safety technology selected by Schmersal provides substantial support for the automated cell in terms of flexibility.Source: Der Betriebsleiter 11-12/2016

Hygiene-compliant, flexible and reliable
safety systems for the food and packaging industry [mehr]
The requirements are tough for the food and packaging industry: hygiene-compliant design, flexibility, short conversion times and high levels of plant availability are increasingly important features for machines and systems. In these industries, too, protecting employees is a priority, but the safety systems need to be adapted to the individual applications and contribute to the efficiency of the production processes.

Focus on what is important
Safety relay modules for evaluation of safety-oriented signals [mehr]
A new range of safety relay modules from Schmersal is simple to adapt to individual requirements. A single module covers a range of applications. Other features include
short address times and pre-configured applications – functions which are required in,for example, packaging machine construction.Author: Thomas Rühl, Product Manager, Schmersal

Best of all flexible
Requirements on safe control technology [mehr]
In the widely varying task areas in industrial production, flexibility is becoming an increasingly important characteristic of machines and installations. Batch sizes are becoming smaller, and it must be possible to adapt the machines to different products and market conditions both straightforwardly and quickly. As a result there are also special requirements on the safe control technology. A new generation of programmable modular safety controllers from Schmersal is extremely well suited to this requirement.

Changes of relevance to practice or simply cosmetic revisions?
Experts in safety technology on the updated standard DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2016 – Safety of machinery [mehr]
After several years of standardisation work, DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2016 was published at the end of May. Since July it is therefore only this standard that is allowed to be used as the basis for the presumption of conformity. As there are a lot of changes in the standard, there may be new requirements for issuing EC declarations of conformity as a result. The effect these changes have on the practical work of machinery and plant manufacturers is explained by the seven experts in this interview. They also explain which special requirements need to be addressed on the usage of collaborative robots.
