A high level of automation increasingly demands the flexible linking of individual security functions, i.e. a programmable security controller is state of the art when it comes to future-oriented, competitive machines and plants. The innovative and integrated security solution from Berghof includes a CODESYS Safety PLC and a safety I/O module according to the requirements of the safety standards IEC 61508 SIL 3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 PLe. - Integrated, module-based safety concept - Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) - Cross communication between PLC and Safety-PLC - Combinable with other Berghof Products - Online monitoring of safe and unsafe data - SIL 3 according to IEC 61508 - PLe according to DIN EN ISO 13849

The SCx Safety Controller completes the SMART Safety System for complete machine and system protection. You can add up to eight I/O expansion modules, use Daisy Chain Diagnostics (DCD) and exchange data via three different fieldbus protocols. This means that the SCx expandable safety controller can meet all the safety requirements of your machine. Programming is easy thanks to the intuitive, proven and free software. - PC-configurable – Flexible and easy to use - Network-compatible – Profinet, Modbus/TCP and EtherCAT - Safe devices to connect: Up to 394 - Safety inputs: Up to 154 - Independent safety outputs: Up to 68, 0.5 A to 6 A each - Convertible safety inputs: Up to 40 (including 8 on the base unit) - Daisy Chain Diagnostic (DCD) provides detailed status and diagnostic information - Optional display provides local diagnostics for efficient troubleshooting - Up to eight possible expansion I/O modules can be added

Safety technology for body, hand and finger protection is used to protect both people and machine. wenglor’s safety technology ensures compliance with legal requirements and meets the highest standards in occupational safety. Certified according to international standards, light barriers and curtains with or without muting functions, safety switches, locking devices, emergency stops, relays and protection columns protect all production systems. This creates a safe working environment, reduces downtime and increases the efficiency of production processes. Safety switches and guard locking devices ensure that machines can only be operated if all safety requirements are fulfilled. They prevent unintentional start-up of machines and protect against potential hazards. Emergency stop switches and safety relays enable immediate shutdown in an emergency and ensure the safety of personnel. Safety columns provide additional protection and clearly mark safe areas, helping to prevent accidents.

The product range of safety sensors for machine safety includes solutions for door interlocks and access guarding, robot collaboration up to driverless transport systems. Safety light curtain: High detection stability and safety for use as a electro-sensitive protective equipment (ESPE). Safety light curtains are electro-sensitive protective equipment for safeguarding accesses and openings. These devices meet the highest safety standards of Type4, SIL3, Category4 and PLe. Due to minimal space requirements, robust housing and special accessories for reduced wiring and easy mounting, installation is efficient and simple. Each model has a high IP65/IP67 protection rating. Safety switches: machine safety made easy! Versatile mounting, flexible use and easy integration! Safety switches are safety components that can be installed on safety gates and doors to monitor access into a hazardous zone. This product range includes models with mechanical guard locking, electromagnetic guard locking and contactless models. Safety laser scanners: 100% customisable protection zone, even in complex areas! Safety laser scanners that meet the highest safety standards of Type3, SIL2, Category3 and PLd. Despite their compact size, the devices have a large detection area and individually designable safety areas and zones. These devices are ideally suited for technical protection measures of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robot cells and are a preferred alternative to mechanical safety devices and safety mats.

A new era of safe machine operation has begun: Touch technologies now combined with safety functions especially for DIN EN ISO 13849 (PLd) and DIN EN ISO 25119 (AgPLd). Capacitive touchscreen systems are ideal for displaying a wide range of functions, input fields, and status indications in a variable and application-specific way. Compared to electromechanical input technology, the combination of display and in­put system enables far more variable operating surfaces with a greater number of functions, plus intuitive operation. This reduces the number of electromechanical switches that otherwise have to be installed in the control consoles of mobile agricultural, construction, or forestry machines. This enables slimmer and more user-friendly control systems.

The ED Series represents a new concept for motion control units, combining cam and motor control technology into a small footprint. This revolutionary concept delivers accuracy and flexible performance in a tightly integrated package. The ED series allows you to program a cam indexer with flexible, stable motion patterns with the same ease of controlling a motor. The package is perfect for benchtop production lines without using excessive drive equipment.

They make things turn, move along, align, and stop. Cams can create every kind of movement, from simple to complex, without the need for any other program of control. They do not cause vibration during motion or result in residual vibration, and they facilitate high-speed positioning at low energy expenditure. This, the most reliable mechanical element, makes motion control possible. In the field of industrial automation machinery, various types of cams have been used intensively, from ancient times. Indexing cam devices, in particular, have the desirable features of high speed, great rigidity, high precision, and compact shape, so these are widely used in various types of automated machines. Sankyo Seisakusho has combined a roller gear cam and a cam follower, to develop the first-in-Japan indexing cam mechanism we call Sandex. Since that innovation, it has been applied to provide highly precise and efficient positioning for such devices as inspection, assembly and filling machines. The Alpha Series is an all-in-one indexing drive package complete with a cost-effective shaft-mounted gearmotor on a low-profile housing. After reviewing the design, this indexing drive has been made more user-friendly by building on the roller gear cam mechanism found in all of our SANDEX products, which have set high production records.
