Safety-Mat Module offers diverse-redundant design.
Safety Mat Monitor Module facilitates protection with dual-diverse, microprocessor-based design. Sensor circuitry consists of bi-polar redundant channels that issue stop command when individual steps onto mat, shorting out to cause activation. Unit provides 4 redundant, forced-guided (positive-guided) safety outputs rated at 6 A. Normally closed output monitors status, while 2 auxiliary...

Safety Modules have dual microprocessors.
Din rail-mounted modules, with removable terminal blocks, feature diverse-redundant design. Microprocessors each operate with a different instruction firmware set. Products include ES-UA/VA-5A for 1- or 2-channel circuit, and ES-TN-14H5/6 with 4 delayed-output switching channels. Safety modules with no delay function open output relay contacts within 25 milliseconds after stop occurs. Modules...

Fiber Optic Safety System replaces interlock switches.
PICO-GUARD combines controller; various plug-in, snap-lock optical safety interlock switches; and plastic fiber optic cable to monitor doors, gates, and hard guards. Controller includes 4 separate optical channels, each able to control multiple optical safety interlock switches in same network. When system detects break in optical beam, it provides stop signal to machine control circuit to...

Focusing Fibers detect ultra-small targets.
Focused-beam fibers pipe light into otherwise inaccessible locations, and focus beam to very small spot, allowing fiber-optic sensors to detect small parts. Fibers come in fixed and adjustable sensing distance models. L4C6 and L4C20 convergent lens attachments allow sensing at fixed focal distances of 0.24 and 0.79 in., respectively, with spot dia. as small as 0.01 in. Other attachments include...
Read More »Muting Module can monitor 2-4 inputs.
IP65-rated EZ-SCREEN(TM) muting module determines when work piece needs to pass though access points into light-screen-guarded work cell without causing machinery to stop. Module is used with EZ-SCREENÃ-® Grid OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) optical guard, Banner MINI-SCREENÃ-®, MICRO-SCREENÃ-® or MACHINE-GUARDÃ-® safety light screens. When personnel are detected trying to...
