Safety rope emergency stop switches are often used to secure large danger areas where housings or covers are not possible. Typical applications are conveyor systems, and rotating machines – a situation where there are long stretches of machinery between normal operator stations. If a dangerous situation arises, the operating personnel can trigger the switching function […]
Position sensors are nowadays indispensable in industrial applications to reliably detect positions on machines. Compared to mechanical switches; inductive, capacitive and magnetic sensors offer ideal characteristics: non-contact operation free from any wear and tear, high switching frequencies and accuracy. In addition, they are insensitive to vibration, dust and moisture. In industrial processes where liquids, air […]
Photoelectric sensors check presence, shape, colour, distance, and thickness – optimised for robotics, automation, assembly, and handling. They are real experts with various strengths: detecting and counting parts, monitoring stack heights, through-glass detection, aligning small parts, detecting marks, fill level detection, and more. Photoelectric fork and angle sensors are used for the detection of very small objects […]
Thanks to the improved inline calibration process, the TCC achieves an accuracy of +0.2K across the entire measuring range. This makes it perfectly suited for use in temperature-sensitive processes such as food, rubber or carbon processing. The TCC ensures a smooth process and a high product quality by permanently monitoring its own reliability. If the […]
In assembly and handling applications, the profiler does not only verify the presence of an object, but it checks whether the correct component has been used and properly installed. A push of a button is all that is required to compare the contour of an object with the taught target contour stored in the profiler. […]
On Tuesday 24th December, DBI Control Limited will be shutting down for the festive period, and we will be returning on Thursday 2nd January 2020. Any questions that you may have can be sent over to our email address info@dbicontrol.co.uk and you will get a response upon our return. We have had a very successful 2019, and it has […]
An electrical conductivity meter (EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity in a solution. It has multiple applications in research and engineering, with common usage in hydroponics, aquaculture, aquaponics, and freshwater systems to monitor the amount of nutrients, salts or impurities in the water. Conductivity measurement is […]
Without industrial communication, complex tasks like controlling machines and entire production lines, monitoring state-of-the-art transportation systems or managing power distribution would be impossible. Profinet – the leading Industrial Ethernet standard for automation – supports you in creating end-to-end, integrated processes and configuring networked interfaces. PROFINET is a mechanism to exchange data between controllers and devices. […]
The modular SINAMICS S120 drive is the modular system for high-performance motion control applications in industrial plant and machinery construction. Customized solutions can be implemented based on a wide range of components and functions that are optimally coordinated with one another. For instance, high-performance single-motor drives and coordinated drives (multi-axis applications) with vector or servo […]
A splitter box enables a source signal to be split so that the data from the source can be sent to two or more separate outputs. The complete data set is received at all outputs; there is no splitting of the data between the outputs. Splitter boxes can be inserted into an existing network at […]
