Aluminium Extrusions E


Rack mount UPS series


provide constant DC power without interruption


without interruption. These are 1U, 19in rack mount units designed to provide 12VDC, 24VDC or 48VDC from an input voltage of 180VAC to 264VAC (50/60Hz). Models in the series provide either 150W or 300W output


P


power and can be used as both a power supply and a charging device. Batteries are external, and capacity depends on output load power required and length of hold up time in the event of a power failure. The batteries can also be hot-swapped. Every unit includes an intelligent interface which allows


the user to monitor the battery condition, input power condition and load status via an LED-based front panel display. Monitoring is delivered via dry contacts, RS232, USB and the optional SNMP Card which can allow computer monitoring even from a mobile phone.

owersolve has released the PFD Series, a ‘no break’ power system developed to provide constant DC power


vatron’s Extruded Aluminium Enclosures anodised in Black and Silver are suitable for many applications. They can


also be ordered in virtually any colour of your choice. The sleek stylish appearance is perfect for high end equipment. One side of the enclosure features two sets of grooves. The


slightly recessed area between the grooves may be used for a label. For a uniquely branded, professional finish, we can customise the case and end panels with logo and legends printed or laser etched, as well as holes and slots, saving time and cost. Matching end panels are available separately as required, with the option of a gasket to achieve an IP66 rating for the enclosure. Standard stock can also be supplied cut to custom lengths.

Safe cooperation with robot colleagues R


Opto-electronic and tactile safety equipment


Schmersal has developed various ranges of safety light curtains and light grids which fulfil different requirements and guarantee economic access protection for robot workstations while taking up very little space. A safety field made up of infrared beams is sent by the transmitter and evaluated by the receiver. If an object or a person breaks the safety field, a stop signal is immediately triggered in order to stop the machine.


AZM201 solenoid interlock / BDF200-SD control panel


With the highly coded AZM201 RFID interlock combined with the BDF200-SD, individually, ready-to-connect safety solutions can be pre-assembled for the safety doors on robot cells. Thanks to the built-in RFID technology, the AZM offers tamper protection as required. In the D-variant of this solenoid interlock, two safety functions are covered by a single piece of safety switchgear. The AZM201-D is therefore particularly ideal for setup mode on robot workstations...


Signal evaluation solutions


Depending on the complexity of the safety circuit, Schmersal can provide different solutions for safe signal evaluation. For smaller robot systems, the multifunctional safety relay modules in the Protect SRB-E range are ideal, these cover a range of applications and are easy to configure.

obots are the backbone of Industry 4.0 and are gaining ground all over the world. But compliance with strict safety requirements is a basic prerequisite for the operation of robot systems in production. At Automatica 2018 in Munich, Germany, the Schmersal Group is showcasing an extensive range of coordinated safety components and safety systems for industrial robots.
