With the SINAMICS family of converters from Siemens, you can simply and efficiently address each individual drive application – in the low, medium and DC voltage domains. All the drive components are perfectly harmonised and coordinated with one another. Siemens converters, motors and control […]
Banner EZ-SCREEN LS is a two-piece (emitter and receiver), redundant, microprocessor controlled, opposed-mode optoelectronic “light curtain” or “safety light screen”. Models are available in 14 mm, 23 mm or 40 mm resolution. Up to four pairs of SLLC model emitters and receivers can be cascaded together. Emitters have a row of synchronised modulated infrared LEDs […]
The sensing area is located inside the ring of inductive sensors. These sensors are designed to detect metallic masses entering or passing through the ring. They are ideal for sensing, counting and checking of small metal parts such as: screws, washers, nuts […]
Requirements for today’s I/O systems are becoming increasingly complex. SIMATIC ET 200MP for central control cabinets and SIMATIC ET 200SP for decentral switch boxes raise the bar in terms of usability, scalibility and functionality. The modular design allows to scale and extend ET 200 systems easily and in small steps. Functionality of the modules is […]
When it comes to high-end mobile applications, opt for mobile panels. These are also for fail-safe machines and widely distributed plants. SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panels 2nd generation transfer the functionality and performance of SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels to mobile control units. Users benefit from more flexibility and convenience. Even for larger production facilities, complex or […]
In the past, operator input to a machine was only rarely possible without permanent wired operator controls. Whether you were dealing with emergency stop, pushbuttons, switches, indicator lights, or key-operated switches: All these controls had to be planned, ordered, installed, wired, labelled and maintained. Their time-consuming and often error-prone individual installation constituted a significant cost item […]
A touch sensor is a type of equipment that captures and records physical touch or embrace on a device and/or object. It enables a device or object to detect touch, typically by a human user or operator. Capacitive touch sensors can be used, for example, as a start and stop button on machines, as […]
There are numerous types of IP rated products available on the market. The standardisation of these codes is what enables customers and users to gain a clear understanding of each products abilities and limitations in different scenarios. There’s a vast range of different IP Rated Enclosures available across all sectors and industries, including many options […]
An IP rating is shorthand for an Ingress Protection mark; usually a two-digit grading system that is applied to the enclosure of a mechanical or electrical item. This gives customers a clear indication of the item’s resistance to various types of unwanted intrusion and defines the different levels of sealing effectiveness against foreign bodies (tools, […]
Automation technology can no longer be imagined without photoelectric sensors as “artificial eyes”. They are used where a reliable and non-contact detection of the exact position of objects is required. Compared to inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors have a much greater sensing zone, and the material of the object to be detected is of no importance. […]
