Splitter boxes are used where several sensor signals are collected to forward them via a common cable. Splitter boxes are available in several versions. Type M12 with 4, 6 or 8 signal connections, with and without LED signal display, with field cable connection or with M23 connection. For reliable signal transmission the splitter boxes must […]
In most automation systems, cylinder sensors are indispensable to control production. Precise position on cylinders by means of compact sensors in the fields of packaging technology, handling technology, factory automation and process engineering is very important to ensure smooth production. Their high […]
Over the last decade, LED lighting has grown from a rare, energy efficient choice into a widely used and preferred lighting option for homes, businesses and organisations. While halogen bulbs are still available to buy, many types are no longer in production, so the time has never been better to switch over to LED bulbs. […]
The major objective of hygienic design is to avoid product contamination by microbes, particles and chemicals. European legislation is forcing machinery suppliers to design their machines which are used in the production of food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics according to hygienic design criteria. The common objective of this is to make a machine cleanable. Therefore, all […]
A junction box is an enclosure that protects a connection of two or more wires carrying electrical current. This level of protection is needed to prevent fires and to maintain solid, reliable connections that stay tight over many years. The use of junctions removes the need to run a wire from every outlet or switch […]
The Sirius 3TK2810-0 standstill monitor increases safety in hazardous areas. Without a sensor, it detects motor stoppage from the residual magnetization of the rotating motor. When an adjustable threshold value is undershot, it uses its outputs to allow access to hazardous areas, for example by unlocking a protective door. No additional sensors are required: the standstill […]
As discussed on our previous blog post, the SIRIUS 3RW5 Soft Starters are the best solution when direct or star-delta starting doesn’t apply to three-phase motors, because problems can often arise due to mechanical impact in the machine or voltage drops in the line supply. The range of soft starters with intelligent functions offers a […]
Electronic motors are significant in most industries; without them, your applications wouldn’t work. Motors pump liquids, transport heavy materials, move air masses and support the processing of raw materials. Since motors are the leading unit in your facility, they should be durable and reliable […]
