INNOVATIVE SAFETY
ENGINEERING E
uchner’s latest innovations include the new CTS compact guard locking device, the CTA safety switch for harsh environments, and
the versatile new CKS2 key system for various machine applications. And let’s not forget the proven MGB2 Modular for safety doors which is now available for EtherCAT/FSoE as well.
INNOVATIVE GUARD LOCKING WITH THE COMPACT CTS AND THE CTA FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS Safety switches with guard locking are the key to keeping production personnel safe from harm and safeguarding processes. These transponder- coded safety switches with guard locking have the highest safety level. The CTS safety switch is the latest development in this field. Measuring only 135 by 31 by 31mm and featuring a locking force up to 3,900N, plus diverse mounting options, it is versatile enough for almost any application. The CTS can be mounted in three directions to protect both hinged and sliding doors, and users can add an escape release at any time. The CTA safety switch has already proven its
worth time after time. Its robust metal housing and a locking force of up to 8,000N makes it suitable for use on heavy doors. Offering a high IP65/IP67/IP69/IP69K degree of protection, this switch is the perfect choice for almost any industrial use – especially if this involves a harsh, dirty environment.
All guard locking
devices can be connected in several different ways. Combining the devices with an Euchner IO-Link Gateway gives them the additional benefit of communicating in Industry 4.0 applications.
ONE DEVICE, MANY APPLICATIONS: THE CKS2 SAFE KEY SYSTEM The CKS2 from Euchner is a new, safe key system that is simple to integrate into the overall control system and suitable for a wealth of applications. The user decides whether to use the device as a lockout system, authorisation system or key transfer system by selecting the appropriate keys and programming the control system accordingly. Euchner calls this versatility ‘FlexFunction’. Highly coded, transponder-based keys ensure the highest possible safety level. The device can be connected to IO-Link using the Gateways from Euchner. The CKS2 is also available as a submodule for the MGB2 Modular, opening up many new applications for this successful door locking system.
THE MULTI-TALENTED MGB2 MODULAR NOW DOES EVEN MORE The MGB2 Modular secures safety doors and guarding on machines and installations during
hazardous machine movements. A modular design is the secret behind the system’s adaptability to specific requirements. The MGB2 Modular consists of a locking module, plug-in submodules with control and indicating functions, plus an MBM bus module for connecting to PROFINET/ProfiSAFE and now to EtherCAT/FSoE and EtherCAT P/FSoE as well. Two submodules let you integrate up to six different controls and indicators in the locking module. And if that isn’t enough, the MCM expansion module considerably enhances what the Multifunctional Gate Box MGB2 Modular can do. All information from the connected modules comes together in the MBM bus module and then transferred to the installation’s control system. Comprehensive diagnostic and communication functions in the form of EtherCAT or PROFINET messages and the integrated web server provide a fast, detailed overview of the device status.
