The EU Machinery Regulation will apply from 20 January 2027. It came into force in all member states on 19 July 2023, twenty days after it was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. Machine manufacturers now have time in which to meet the new safety requirements on plant and machinery. The Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) is …
Capacitive sensors can detect solid, liquid or granular objects. With these sensors highly structured and non-dimensionally stable objects e.g. the fill levels of liquids or bulk materials can also be detected in direct contact with the medium or through a non-metallic container wall. They are also suitable for completeness inspections. Capacitive sensors also function reliably …
On the safety relay PNOZ s50, temporary overexcitation is followed by voltage reduction, for which parameters can be set. The resulting short ventilation times help to make your application more energy-efficient. On the one hand, safe brake control enables rapid switching in emergency situations. On the other hand, it ensures slow, low-wearing switching in normal operation, thereby …
The safe line monitoring device PLIDdys provides safe power-up on two-wire connections, providing maximum safety on long cable routes. With PLIDdys, unintended power-up or plant start-up can be excluded in the event of an error. This is particularly beneficial on interlinked plants or on plant sections distributed over a wide area, which may not always be clearly …
On electronic monitoring relays, electrical safety is the focus. Monitoring relays reduce the number of hazardous situations for man and machine and increase the service life of plant and machinery. Save costs and be sure of an efficient production cycle. With monitoring relays, the priority is the protection of persons and the machinery against insulation faults, residual …
The safety relays PNOZ monitor safety functions such as emergency stop, safety gates, light barriers, light curtains, two-hand controls, speed, standstill and much more besides. Every day, PNOZ safety relays prove themselves in millions of applications worldwide. In 1987 Pilz patented the first emergency stop relay to protect man and machine. That was a milestone in safety technology. The …
For the design and programming of some of our sensor technology products we provide practical tools to support you. They range from configuration to commissioning and operation through to diagnostics. The main criterion is simple and user-friendly handling. Our sensor technology products provide customizable settings, allowing users to tailor the functionality and behavior of the products to their specific requirements. With …
The camera-based protection systems PSENvip are mobile protection systems for press brakes and provide visual monitoring of the whole bending process. When installed on the upper die, they detect even the smallest foreign body in the protected field between the transmitter and receiver. This product is characterised by robustness and high machine availability. Dynamic muting for greater …
Safe radar sensors are used where optoelectronic sensors reach their limits: rugged environments, such as outdoors or in material processing for example, can be monitored safely using PSENradar. That’s because radar technology (FMCW: frequency modulated continuous wave) ensures high availability even where there are external influences such as dust, dirt, rain, light, sparks or vibrations. The safe radar sensor PSENradar, …
