In order to ensure the necessary safety in production and assembly safety devices To ensure this, not only does the Machinery Directive have to be met, but beforehand a risk assessment or risk analysis must be carried out. Then it is important to select the safety technology that has to meet the application-specific standards according to DIN, ISO & Co.
Brand new machine safety technology
With the products presented here you can avert dangers of all kinds. In the first block we have different ones for you industry-specific applications compiled. In the block below you will find safety technology such as Safety sensors, safety switches, optoelectronic safety devices and much more. for the Plant and mechanical engineering in the Industry 4.0 environment.
Security technology for special industries

Passenger safety is the top priority when transporting people in elevators. Safety-relevant components such as the elevator brake must therefore meet the highest quality requirements. At the Interlift, which has just come to an end, Mayr Antriebstechnik presented its entire range of proven elevator brakes, such as shaft-mounted safety brakes and the Roba-Diskstop energetic caliper brake. This and other information about the Roba brakes can be found below:

At TUM, researchers have developed a new early warning system for autonomous vehicles that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to learn from thousands of real traffic situations based on recurrent neural networks. The system can warn of a potentially critical situation as early as 85 s in advance with more than 7 percent accuracy for today's self-driving development vehicles. Self-driving cars cannot yet master this on their own. The TUM conducted the study together with the BMW Group.

Innosent has developed a new radar technology with a focus on short range in security and building technology. The Isys-5005 radar system reliably and precisely detects extensive object information thanks to complex 24 GHz Mimo radar technology and advanced signal processing. Radar tracking and the design for security systems and automatic door control are new.

Safety control protects the sausage processing plant
20. 01. 2020Flexibility is becoming an increasingly important property in the food industry. At the same time, companies prefer security systems that offer operational efficiencies and cost advantages in addition to the necessary security function. The system for processing cold cuts from Weber Maschinenbau shows how these requirements can be implemented. They were secured with a modular safety control from Schmersal. The service package included commissioning and validation by the service provider Tec.nicum. -
Two tunnel boring machines are the largest machines on the Semmering Base Tunnel construction site. The EAS-HT safety clutch from Mayr Antriebstechnik provides overload protection. These clutches release reliably and traceably and protect the drive components over the long term. They cannot be manipulated and the torque set at the factory is available again even after they have been disengaged. Recommissioning is also quick and easy, without additional tools.
-
Vehicle manufacturers achieve significantly less effort for the integration and application of hydrostatic travel drives in construction machinery with function modules from Bosch Rexroth. They combine innovative functions with safety that has already been analyzed and designed according to the Machinery Directive. In addition, the developers examined all the components and their interactions with one another and further improved the robustness of the functional modules.
Machine safety Technology for machines and systems
LED signal light illuminated with and without IO-Link
Turck expands its LED Signal lights Portfolio around the robust LED displays of the K100 series. This indicator light was made by Turck's Opto-Partner Banner Engineering developed. The 100 mm beacons are available in two configurations. The signal light model Per Daylight Visible has 12 acoustic options. Its transparent lens ensures that the display is easy to see and does not cause false displays even in sunlight.

Industrial roller blinds by Steinbock are used on machines wherever there is limited space for the installation of other protective elements. The roller blind covers are simply rolled up on a shaft with spring mechanism. In most cases, the cover material consists of textile tapes of different nature and resistance and is resistant to oil, coolant or heat. From there are these industrial roller blinds in up to 1200 mm width.
