B&R Automation: Safety comes standard

September 23, 2019

B&R standard motors now suitable for all safety applications

B&R is now equipping all standard motors with a safe encoder mount. They can therefore now be used for safety applications without restrictions. A special safety motor is no longer necessary. The delivery times and prices of the standard motors remain the same. Safety applications can be implemented in less time and at lower cost.

Safety applications used to require the use of special motors with a safe encoder mount. B&R has now developed a special process, where a positive-locking element ensures that the encoder and motor shaft cannot slip unnoticed. This makes it possible to implement safety functions such as Safe Positioning and Safe Homing, for which safe position feedback is required.

Mass production was yesterday

The metal industry is not immune to the global trend away from bulk annual orders toward small-batch customer orders with short lead times. To handle this type of individualized production in batch sizes as small as one, manufacturing systems must become much more flexible. B&R’s booth at EMO (Hall 9, Booth F50) will showcase track-based transport technology, whose independently controlled shuttles and rapid changeover times enable flexible, customer-centered manufacturing.
