The new DHS door handle system unites the functions of a robust door handle with display of individual machine statuses using illumination in the handle itself. The door handle system is universally designed so that it can be optimally used with the AZM40 solenoid interlock, with safety sensors from the RSS260 series or as a stand-alone solution. The handle signals diff...

Schmersal has developed two new versions of its Safety Fieldbox. This means that the box can not only be integrated into systems with PROFINET/PROFIsafe as before, but is now also be available for the EtherNet/IP with CIP Safety and EtherCAT with FSoE bus systems. The benefit: the designer can now plan the safety functions of a machine in a project regardless of the fie...

At the Hannover Messe 2023, the Schmersal Group will present for the first time a 3D camera for the automated acquisition of digital process data in real time in Hall 09, Stand D09. The AM-T100 is a Time-of-Flight camera (ToF), which uses a Sony DepthSense™ sensor to create 3D depth images with millimetre accuracy. The camera uses ToF technology, i.e., runtime measuremen...

Schmersal has developed a new series of safety light barriers that are suitable for hygiene-sensitive applications in the packaging and food-processing industries, such as milk and meat processing. With a diameter of 62 mm and a height of 115 mm, the single-beam light barriers in the SLB series are extremely compact. This makes them ideal for thermoforming machinery for ...

The Schmersal Group presents a new magnet track sensor box , designed to detect the position of electric monorail conveyors in the automotive industry and intralogistics. Wear-free solenoid switches from Schmersal have long been used in the automotive industry. They are used to monitor the speed and position of moving machine parts, such as those on electric monorail co...

The new space-saving range of pull-wire switches from Schmersal is suitable for applications in cramped installation spaces. The dimensions of these compact switches are based on the standards for position switches – EN 50047 and EN 50041. The small pull-wire switches also have a robust metal enclosure, wide temperature range and the high protection class IP67, which mak...

Schmersal launched the H series a full range of command and signalling devices for hygiene-sensitive applications, particularly food processing. The new H range not only meets the requirements of the standards and ‘hygienic design’ construction principle but is fully modular as well. Thanks to snap-on contact carriers and individual contacts which can be combined (also...

The Schmersal Group is presenting its new safety field box SFB-PN-IRT-8M12-IOP at SPS IPC Drives 2018 in Nuremberg. Set for launch onto the market in 2019, this safety field box for PROFINET/PROFIsafe systems is suitable for simple plug and play installation of up to eight safety devices. Thanks to its universal device interface with an 8-pole M12 connector, it can be ...

The new safety light barriers and safety light grids in the SLC/SLG 240 COM range from Schmersal offer all sorts of practical functions and are therefore suitable for a wide range of applications. For applications with a small safety clearance to the risk area, a 14 mm resolution has been added to the new range. The built-in beam concealer for fixed and stationary o...

The difference to the AZ 16 is that the RSS 16 does not have a mechanical actuator. The identification of the target is contactless using the RSS technology developed by Schmersal: A technically safe physical RFID signal is responsible for the communication between the transmitter and receiver. This technology creates the prerequisites so that the user of the RSS 16 c...
