Mechanical power transmission equipment — including motors, drives, shafts, gearing and other associated components — relies on bearings to keep drive trains aligned for a smooth transmission of power. But there are many considerations that require attention when it comes to these vital parts.
When it comes to making an investment in motor control equipment the benefits of ease and speed of integration, serviceability and safety are at the top of your list. Reducing the costs of a solution and the effort and time spent integrating the equipment can greatly affect the outcome of a project. And, why not optimize performance and make maintaining the equipment easier and safer, too?
For manufacturers seeking to improve system design, promote easy integration and enable rapid diagnostics of equipment issues, it helps to have a safety solution that supports a variety of networking options and minimizes hardware requirements. Omron’s new Stand-Alone Safety Kits are uniquely designed to do just that.
