Schmersal USA & Canada

IMTS has just started and Schmersal is at booth 236455. Please come visit our booth with new innovations. SFB safety field box and AZM40.

IMTS has begun! Come by our booth 236455 in North hall, where Dennis Bailey, Jonathon Hall, Craig Minard, and Scott Alpers will be happy to show you the latest in Machine Safety #IMTS #schmersal #MachineSafety

International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is where the creators, the builders, the sellers, and the drivers of #ManufacturingTechnology come to connect, be inspired, and find solutions. From around the globe, the industry gathers to discover the latest in innovations and technologies changing our future through advanced and traditional #manufacturing, #robotics, #automation, and #DigitalTransformation. Be a part of the change! Join us on September 9-14, 2024, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.

Question: What is the difference between a safety PLC and a standard PLC? Answer, from Devin Murray, BSEE, MBA, FS Eng (TÜV Rheinland) 🔽 One major difference between a safety PLC and a standard PLC is the added safety which is achieved by redundancy and validated through 3rd party certifications. Unlike a standard PLC, a #SafetyPLC will have redundant microprocessors which will monitor both the inputs and outputs of the system. A single failure detected with one of the microprocessors, an input or output device will not lead to the loss of the safety function. Also, unlike a standard PLC, the safety PLC must fulfill stringent requirements of current #SafetyStandards such is ISO 61508 which will classify the safety PLC under a certain Safety Integrity Level.

Did you know, the combination of AZM40 solenoid interlock and DHS-U1 door handle unites appealing design with reliable functionality. The AZM40 has a bistable interlock principle. This means that, in the event of a power failure, the interlock maintains its last locking status. The #safetydoor thus remains safely locked in the event of a power failure, preventing access to hazardous areas. The DHS-U1 door handle offers comfortable and intuitive #machineoperation directly on the #safety door itself.

Interested in becoming a TÜV Certified Functional Safety Engineer for Machinery? The TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Training Program is the official 5 day certification course and exam. Schmersal is an approved course and exam provider. In preparation for the certification exam, this course will review the international regulations, basic #RiskAssessment concepts, examples of #ProtectiveEquipment for #machinery, #SafetyFunctions, circuit designs, Performance Level (PL) and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations. Join us in Albany, NY, September 16 - 20th. Registration deadline: September 6th. For more information, see our training Schedule: https://lnkd.in/eDZ-dN-7

Ask The Expert - Question: How do I know what speeds are considered safe for #machine interactions? Answer, from Devin Murray, BSEE, MBA, FS Eng (TÜV Rheinland): 🔽 As with any aspect of safeguarding, a machine specific (Type C) standard should be used as a reference for selecting safe speeds. For example, ANSI/RIA15.06 deals with #robots and #RoboticCells and references the speed limitation of 250mm/s during human interaction. For equipment or applications where Type C standards do not apply, a risk assessment should be used to determine the speed limitations. The speed 250mm/s is referenced in many #SafetyStandards as this is the average human reaction time. It is suggested that an operator will not be able to avoid a hazard on processes moving faster than this speed.

Schmersal France at the heart of robotics! 🤖 Recently, our colleagues in France were proud to exhibit at the Full Robotics Day, an exciting event dedicated to #IndustrialRobotics, organized by Proxinnov in La Roche sur Yon (France). This "mini-show" brought together #robotics suppliers and integrators to present innovative solutions. As a partner of Proxinnov, Schmersal France was also present to showcase our cutting-edge solutions and tec.nicum services - a hub for meeting and exchanging ideas.
