OUR PRODUCTS
SYSTEM AND SOLUTION PROVIDER FOR MACHINE SAFETY
Based on the world's largest range of safety switchgear, the Schmersal Group develops individually adapted systems and solutions for the safety of machinery and plants.
Schmersal's range of more than 18,000 products includes solenoid interlocks, safety sensors and safety switches with separate actuators. The product range also includes optoelectronic safety devices for safeguarding danger points. In addition, Schmersal develops and produces systems for safe signal processing, such as safety relay modules and safety controllers. In the complex field of explosion protection, Schmersal supplies Ex switchgear which complies with the European ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
In addition, Schmersal offers installation systems which not only enable the cost-effective wiring of safety switchgear in series connection, but also highly variable safety architectures by combining different components.
In the "Safe Switching and Monitoring" section, you will find an extraordinary large programme of safety-related switchgears for the position monitoring of guard doors and the non-contact protection of hazardous zones and danger points, as well as safety switching appliances for special applications.
In the "Safe Signal Processing" section, you will find safety relay modules for various safety technology applications (e.g. for emergency stop and guard door monitoring) as well as centralised programmable safety controllers and decentralised field bus systems, e.g. a modular concept for safety functions control on small machines.
In the "Automation Technology" section, you will find switching appliances for the mechanical position detection in various fields of application as well as (safety) sensors with different operating principles; this section furthermore includes a comprehensive programme of command and signalling devices.
In the “System solutions” section you will find holistic safety solutions. This includes installation aids that enable the quick, uncomplicated and cost-effective wiring of various safety switching devices in series, such as our Safety Fieldbox, suitable accessories and web-based design tools.
The "Ex Switchgear" includes switchgears, which can be used - in accordance with the harmonised standards - in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres due to the presence of gas and dust, e.g. position switches, safety switches and safety sensors with non-contact operating principle.
In the "Lift Switchgears" section, you will find lift switchgears for various applications in the shaft pit, the lift car and the machine room: floor and fine-adjustment switches, positive-break door contacts, position switches, magnetic reed switches, remote alarm systems as well as the USP ultrasonic elevator positioning system.
