Protection of shearing and crushing points in assembly logistics
Protection for collisions with conveyor systems
In assembly logistics, modern conveyor systems are used especially for flexible assembly concepts, such as component assembly in electromobility. Such conveyor systems must be safeguarded against collisions in order to protect people. The safeguarding of such applications is a particular challenge because these machines have a high moment of inertia and long stopping times.
To safeguard such applications, we have been developing and supplying high-quality and reliable HSB safety bumper , also known as switching buffers, for over three decades. These are contact-sensitive sensors that detect contact with a person or part of a person's body. If a bumper detects contact or an obstacle, the automatic drive of the machine is switched off immediately.
