Safe switching and monitoring

Ranges TZG, SHG, SCG, SDG

Application: Safety switches with separate actuators are suitable for sliding, hinged and particularly removable safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational security. They are also suitable for fitting on profile sections and existing equipment. more

Ranges TES, TESZ, TESF
Application: These safety switches are suitable for hinged safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational security. The variety of requirements to be found in practice can be met by means of the wide range of safety switches for hinged guards. Depending on the particular version of the switches, small doors and service flaps as well as heavy hinged doors on engineering machines and plants can be protected in such a way as to provide for easy setting up and maintenance. more

Range TKM/TKF Application: TKM/TKF range solenoid interlocks, operating in combination with control elements of a machine, e.g. fail-safe standstill monitors or fail-safe delay timers, ensure that sliding, hinged and removable guarding devices, such as grids , hoods or doors, cannot be opened until hazardous conditions (e.g. running-down movements) have come to an end. These solenoid interlocks are also used for cases in which the opening of a guarding device represents a non-permissible intrusion in a production process. more

Ranges TZM/TZF
Application: TZ range solenoid interlocks, operating in combination with control elements of a machine, e.g. fail-safe standstill monitors or fail-safe delay timers, ensure that sliding, hinged and removable guarding devices, such as grids , hoods or doors, cannot be opened until hazardous conditions (e.g. running-down movements) have come to an end. These solenoid interlocks are also used for cases in which the opening of a guarding device represents a non-permissible intrusion in a production process. more

Range TZKM/TZKF
Application: TZK range solenoid interlocks, operating in combination with control elements of a machine, e.g. fail-safe standstill monitors or fail-safe delay timers, ensure that sliding, hinged and removable guarding devices, such as grids , hoods or doors, cannot be opened until hazardous conditions (e.g. running-down movements) have come to an end. These solenoid interlocks are also used for cases in which the opening of a guarding device represents a non-permissible intrusion in a production process. more

Ranges SHGV, SVE, SVM
Application: The SHGV range is particularly suitable in mor complex production systems and plants to protect divided maintenance and service doors which are used only rarely. Other applications include situations in which an electrical schock is possible, applications with higher ambient temperatures, specific uses in extreme ambient conditions and in chemical and process engineering in view of the explosion protection feature (see also Explosion-protected switchgear). more

Series ZSD1...ZSD6, DTAN5z
Application: In cases where special operating modes of a machine require that safety measures be switched off partly or entirely, manually operated enabling switches ensure the safety of operating personnel under potentially hazardous circumstances. This typically occurs during the set up of a machine, service work, or while monitoring machine operations - the so-called process monitoring. In these cases, additional actions need to be taken to guarantee personal security during special operations. more

Ranges WL01
Application: With this system, for example, safety-oriented and operational signals of control devices, as are typically to be found in mobile control housings, can be transmitted without the need of wires. The system is especially qualified under factory environment conditions, as it is precisely here that all HF-critical disturbing influences, such as attenuation, reflections, absorption, diffusion, deflections, refraction and interference have such a particularly strong impact on a system of this nature. more

Range E...-AS
Application: Easy, safe and reliable AS-Interface Safety at Work (SaW) is the first safety bus system based upon the open standard of AS-International. Safety components such as Emergency Stop command devices, safety switches, solenoid interlocks or safety light curtains are simply connected to the yellow AS-Interface cable. For the evaluation of the safety signals a “Safety Monitor” is merely added to the AS-Interface system. more

Range SEP.. Application: Two-hand control panels are non-separating protection devices. In general, they serve to ensure the location of both hands of a machine operator who gives a control signal for a movement which can be dangerous. Two-hand control panels thus ascertain that intervention by the operator in dangerous moving processes is avoided when a machine or plant has been started. The areas of application include presses for metal working, powder metallurgy, printing and paperprocessing machines, croppers and similar, as well as machinery in the rubber, plastic and chemical industries. Two-hand control panels are the preferred protection devices for use in setting-up work and single-stroke operations for feed and removal processes. Further information on the use of two-hand operation consoles and their evaluation is given in EN 574. In order to achieve Category 0 to EN 60204-1, an additional signal evaluation circuit is needed. Safety monitoring modules for secure evaluation of signals from two-hand control panels and Emergency Stop devices are to be found in chapter "two-hand modules". more

Ranges STW-SL.., SSG-SB.., SSG-SK.1
Application: Tactile monitoring systems stop a hazardous movement in the case of tactile contact. The diversity of different areas of application means that differently constructed devices are required.
Safety Edges: For wherever protection is required against pinch and shear points, whether on safety gates, lift tables, lifting platforms, mobile high-bay racking, work operations tables, warehouse lifts, lift doors, loading bays, lifting and tilting tables or also on industrial doors. The Elan Safety Edge stops the hazardous movement in a fail-safe and reliable way, thereby preventing injuries to persons and damage to machines.
Safety Bumpers: Bumpers are protective devices that are used in the case of long over-travel distances, principally for protection in working areas and as airbags. Typical areas of application are driverless transportation systems (FTS), electrical monorail systems or stage machinery.
Switching cushion: This switching cushion has been developed as a back-up system for the automatic height-compensation equipment on flight passenger stairs, passenger boarding bridges and catering vehicles in order to detect the inadmissible approach of the aircraft door to the platform of the ground equipment. more
