ilz is adding PSENmlock to its range of safety switches. PSENmlock offers safety gate monitoring (also known as interlocking) and safe guard locking for the protection of personnel and processes to the highest levels up to PL e (of EN ISO 13849) in one device. It fully satisfies the requirements of the latest interlocking standard EN ISO 14119. The slimline yet robust design and the many different installation options make PSENmlock both flexible to use and easy to install. PSENmlock is a reliable door guard switch both for small or large, light or heavy, swinging or sliding doors, gates, covers and flaps. Above and beyond these possible applications the flexibly mounted actuator ensures high tolerance compensation and unrestricted functionality even with sagging gates. Thanks to a bi-stable solenoid, the currentless guard locking system reduces the energy consumption of the safety gate system.


Diagnostic data is easily identifiable in many installation positions: LEDs on three sides of the housing support user-friendly diagnostics whatever the installation situation.


Extremely strong


with a holding force of 7500 N and the integrated latching force of 30 N, the safety gate system prevents the guard from opening inadvertently. In addition, an integrated mechanical restart interlock prevents the guard locking system from being activated inadvertently, without the need for separate accessories The integration of RFID into the tongue actuator means that, in the unlikely event that it breaks off in the switch, such a failure is detected and a safe state is preserved

Interroll’s NEW MSC 50 magnetic speed controller optimizes gravity roller conveyor operation


he new patented MSC 50 magnetic speed controller is the most technically superior and cost-effective solution currently on the market for controlling the speed of boxes, containers and plastic trays travelling on decline gravity roller conveyors and spirals or the end sections of sorters. The MSC 50 ensures packages (0.5 kg & 35 kg) move smoothly,


T whilst


limiting the speed of heavy goods travelling along the conveyor to ensure safety and avoid product damage. These features make MSC 50 ideal for warehousing, service,


e-commerce,


Many of today's gravity conveyors have limited functionality as they are sold without components to control conveyor speed, mainly to minimize costs. However, because of an increasing diversity in the size and weight of goods running on gravity conveyors, Interroll saw a need to develop a speed controller. "Our MSC 50 is a solution with an optimum price-to-performance ratio," says Ralf Garlichs, Executive Vice President Products & Technology at Interroll. The MSC 50 features an eddy current brake that makes it maintenance-free and double shielding completely prevents magnetic emissions. It is easy to install and because of its bidirectional braking function, it cannot be mounted incorrectly. Different MSC 50 lengths and quantities can be used to scale the design and provide the ideal solution for your application or can be used for retrofitting existing gravity conveyor installations.

ABB's new test laboratory helps customers find their ideal combination of motor and drive


The new laboratory has been established to enable customers to evaluate the capability of their own motors when operating in combination with the new generation of


A ABB drives. The facility


incorporates independent equipment for high- precision measurements of drive/motor dynamic performance, load capability and efficiency that enables customers to find the optimal drive system for their application,


equipment size and energy consumption. The test laboratory is aimed primarily at high- volume drives customers. It offers an easy and reliable way for customers to test various motor/drive combinations before introducing a new ABB product into volume production.
