ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION Bender UK expands with new business unit in Ireland
Exciting updates to Sirena’s M-Line sounder beacon range bring greater
art in signalling. Important updates have been introduced to the range that expand its potential uses and even further hones the units to the specific tasks and applications in which they are asked to perform. Sirena’s M-Line 2.0 represents the evolution of Sirena’s
Modular range. The M-Line range offers an exclusive modular system that allows each of the eight dome types to be mounted on each of the six base types. This adds to the M-Lines tailormade flexibility meeting customers’ requirements and keeping the number of components needed low, reducing stock holding, allowing fast solution responses to ever changing market needs. This update includes higher performing electronic
components that have enabled an increase in the electromagnetic compatibility, reaching the maximum standard as a level of immunity for both industrial and civil applications.

A
business unit of Bender UK. The UK team took over the management of the region in 2014, producing strong business performance ever since.
Worldwide, the Bender Group has been renowned for electrical safety technology since 1946 and is celebrating its
75th anniversary this year. The UK and Ireland team design, supply and install industrial and healthcare solutions incorporating Bender
technology. Their turnkey hospital projects include the design, commissioning, and service of medical IT power (IPS), uninterruptible power supplies, Merivaara operating lights and tables, clinical pendants, theatre control panels and PACS consoles. Across Northern Ireland and the Republic, the Bender Ireland team deliver entire projects from start through to
completion. The experienced team support more than 100 NHS and private hospitals with technical advice, sales, installation and contractual annual 24/7 maintenance, rapid response call-out and repair services. The Bender Ireland team have worked on numerous major projects. They upgraded operating theatres at
Beaumont Hospital with theatre control panels and Merivaara Q-Flow™ LED operating lights. Based on positive clinical feedback, Q-Flow operating lights have since been installed across several more hospitals in Ireland, with further installations planned for 2021. Bender Ireland, in partnership with Mercury and BAM Ireland, are providing all the specialist power protection for
the new Children’s Hospital, Dublin - the largest medical project in Ireland for 20 years. Currently, the main focus of the Bender Ireland team is on healthcare, but the aim is to extend the supply of electrical
safety technology into industrial markets including data centres, eMobility, process and control applications. Bender

New safety module for sensorless standstill detection of drive systems Universal – compact design I
guard and standstill monitor in the switch cabinet can provide the requisite level of safety. The SSW303HV is the Schmersal Group's latest sensorless standstill monitor, offering a significant improvement over its AZR and FWS series predecessors.
A key development goal was universal application of the new
standstill monitor, which in total replaces fourteen variants of the previous product range. This is made possible thanks to use of a wide- range power supply for all common AC and DC operating voltages, from 24 V/DC / 24 V/AC to 230 V/AC. The increased temperature range of -25 to +55°C also opens up additional application potential.
A further benefit is its compact design – the SSW303HV takes up
just 45 mm of structural width in the switch cabinet. The pluggable, coded connecting terminals ensure rapid, error-free installation, while an additional signalling contact provides information on the error status of the module.
As the standstill monitor operates entirely without sensors, the
machine builder no longer needs to intervene with the ‘hardware’ of the surrounding structure. The safety module is connected directly to a three-phase motor and directly measures the frequency of the induced voltage, at rated motor voltages of up to 690 V. The safety contacts for releasing the locking mechanism close as soon as the motor comes to a standstill. The SSW303HV can be used in safety circuits up to category
4/Performance Level e in accordance with EN 13849-1 and SIL 3 in accordance with EN IEC 61508, with all typical safety interlock designs from applicable manufacturers.
