Whether you work in food processing or operate a cleanroom, keeping your facility clean involves your electrical power equipment.
The operating mode selection and access permission system PITmode combines safety and security functions in one system. The devices enable functionally safe operating mode selection and the control of access permissions on plant and machinery.
The application firewall SecurityBridge was awarded 3rd place in the GIT SECURITY Award. The award was presented on 27 November 2018 at SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg.
Inductive sensors are still the first choice for detecting metallic objects. However, conventional inductive proximity sensors have one thing in common: if the distance to the damping element increases, the sensor becomes more sensitive to the detection object, and the metal surrounding the installation affects the switching distance.
While an arc flash is sometimes used interchangeably with “arc fault”, an arc flash is more accurately defined as the light produced during an arc fault. An arc fault is a type of electrical fault that results from the breakdown of an insulating medium between two conductors where the energy is enough to sustain an arc across the insulator (often air) and can cause extreme amounts of light (arc flash), immense heat upwards of 19,000 °C, and a resulting explosive pressure wave (arc blast).
Balluff’s newest laser light array provides a compact solution for precisely identifying the size and location of objects. The BLA0007 can measure the size of up to six objects in its 16 mm light field, enabling them to operate several work modes at once.
Implement cost-effective safety solutions that protect at the highest levels of safety. SR-IM Series interface modules are specifically designed to be used with safety light curtains and other primary safety devices with External Device Monitoring (EDM).
The new HPS TruWave combines advanced control and proven reliability to provide a comprehensive and flexible solution for harmonic mitigation.
