Innovations

With the foundation of Safety Control GmbH, the Schmersal Group has considerably extended its program in this field of machine safety. In addition to the universally applicable safety light grids and curtains of the SLC/SLG 220 and 420 series (type 2 or 4 to IEC/EN 61 496), the devices were presented in special designs, e.g. the world’s most compact safety light curtain of the world with control category 4 / type 4 to IEC/ EN 61496 at the Hanover Fair 2009.  more Machinery and plants with hazardous run-on movements: measure the run-down time! On machinery and plants, which are likely to produce dangerous run-on movements, the run-down time must be measured at regular intervals. The run-down time is the time expiring between the activation of the safety guard and the stop of the hazardous movement.  more The CSS technology developed and patented by Schmersal has proven itself at international level. The SPS/IPC/DRIVES 2010 is the perfect platform to present the next step in the development: the RSS 36 electronic safety sensor.  more The new PROTECT SELECT compact safety controller can be configured without any knowledge of programming and without manufacturer-specific parameter setting. The controller comes with a number of preconfigured practice-oriented programmes, from which the user can simply select the suitable programme for his application – that explains the designation "Select".  more Compact and flexible: operating panel with emergency stop device The new BDF 100 operating panel enables a direct mounting of the emergency stop device on the safety guard and therefore within the field of vision onto the process without any great effort.  more
