Welcome to Schmersal

Safety in system: Protection for man and machine!

Under this motto, the Schmersal Group offers its customers the largest range of safety switching appliances and systems worldwide for the protection of human life and machines.

Innovations

With the CSS technology, the Schmersal Group has developed an innovative operating principle for non-contact safety sensors, which enables, amongst other things, the series-wiring of maximum 31 sensors through intelligent communication and diagnostic possibilities without detriment to the safety category. The advantages of this technology now are also available to hygiene-critical domains.  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 Safety light curtains and light grids for extreme applications.
The Schmersal Group extends its programme of optoelectronic safety guards through the acquisition of Safety Control GmbH and Safety Protec GmbH, located at Mühldorf/ Inn. These companies, which will trade under the name of Schmersal Safety Control GmbH from now on, will become the Centre of Competence for optoelectronic safety switchgear of the company group.  more

Ergonomics on meat-processing machinery The control units of the machinery from Seydelmann are designed from scratch according to the principles of hygiene-compliant design and offer a highly ergonomic operation as well. In this way, the man-machine interface also meets the highest requirements.  more How can the job of the machine setter or operator be facilitated, whilst it is still guaranteed that he works safely during the set-up or after a size change on the one hand and that he has the best visibility on the process so that he can intervene in case of an emergency on the other hand? The new Machinery Directive provides – under strictly defined conditions – the possibility to use special operating modes; an opportunity, which the machinery builder should take advantage of.  more
