Brand-new products

From manufacturer to service provider and solution provider The Schmersal Group broadens its service offer with respect to machinery safety. The new “Safety Consulting” service aims at providing the company’s customers with comprehensive consultancy regarding issues such as the implementation of directives and standards in actual constructional practice. more

Flexibly securing hazardous areas with optoelectronics Compared to conventional safety doors, optoelectronic safety guards often provide for a more flexible machine operation. The operator’s flexibility is even enhanced, when safety light curtains with comfortable parameterizable muting and blanking functions are used. more

More functions for a more attractive price: the advantages of standardisation Until now, the SRB 211 series featured different safety-monitoring modules for the evaluation of the signals of conventional safety switchgear, magnetic safety switches and optoelectronic safety guards, the so-called AODP´s. The new SRB 211 series enables wiring all three types of safety switchgear to the same safety-monitoring module. more

Universally applicable, extremely reliable Machinery safety and explosion protection are two fields placing extremely high requirements on industrial switchgear. The new position switches of the EX-T 335 series meet these requirements and therefore are suitable for the position monitoring of safety guards in explosive atmospheres. more

Safety guards on conventional machinery and plants frequently have a structure consisting of commercially available modular profile systems. For some machine types however, more sophisticated doors are used, for instance when a special sound insulation or noise control must be realized. Another particularity are the laser machining plants, where penetration of a strayed laser beam through the door gap must be prevented. To this effect, the frames or the profiles of these safety guards must feature an overlapping. For these and other applications, the Schmersal Group has developed a new variant of the AZM 200 solenoid interlock. more

More functions and higher cost-efficiency through standardisation more

Standard in higher design quality instead of “do-it-yourself” more

Electronics is not always the keyword in machine safety. Many mechanical engineers use a mere mechanical key transfer system, which offers enhanced flexibility and simplified operation due to the absence of wiring. more

For setting up safety systems compliant with the explosion protection requirements more

Safe speed monitoring of drives This system enables the machine builder monitoring the speed of, for instance, spindle or axle drives in a safe manner. more
