Industrial Safety Devices and Sensors
Contactless sensors – Magnetic, Inductive and RFID safety switches for position control of movable guards. The Contactless safety sensors are used to monitor the position of the safety devices sliding, hinged or removable.
Safety encoders – Safety Sin/Cos incremental encoder for any applications requiring speed monitoring of a rotating axis.
Safety interlock switch with guard door locking – Mechanical, electrical or other type of safety device, the purpose of which is to prevent the operation of hazardous machine functions under specified conditions (generally as long as a guard is not closed).
Laser scanner – AOPDDRs (Active Opto-electronic Protective Device responsive to Diffuse Reflection) measures the distance between the objects that fall into its sensing field by means of the small fraction of energy that is re-diffused by the objects themselves in axis with the direction of emission. AOPDDRs do not need a cooperating target for their operation, especially where the protected area is mobile, as is the case with AGVs, or where it is necessary to vary the position and size of the protected area during the production process.
Main characteristics
Safety level
Defines the self-monitoring and safety principles contained in the device; it must be chosen as a function of the risk level characterising the machine.
Type of encodig
- Unique coding: the actuator is permanently assigned to the sensor during manufacturing (it cannot be replaced with another actuator)
- Individual coding: the actuator is programmed via teach-in and permanently assigned to the sensor during set-up (the process can be repeated if necessary)
- Actuator coded: the actuator is free and not specifically assigned to the sensor (one actuator can work with multiple sensors)
Switching distance
The outputs (OSSD) are only enabled when a damping target is present in the enable zone. Outside this enable zone the outputs remain switched off.
Technology
- RFID – Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects.
- Magnetic
- Proximity inductive – Non-contact and safe detection of a metal object.
- Encoder
- Interlock – Safety interlock switch with guard door locking
- Photocells – Optoelectronic sensors
- Laser
