Safe motion monitoring with the small controllers PNOZmulti 2

The safe motion monitoring modules for the configurable controllers PNOZmulti 2 ensure your drives are monitored safely. The PNOZ m EF 1MM2DO module has two safe semiconductor outputs plus a cascading input and output. It can be used to link additional modules and shut them down with a delay if necessary. Cascading and delayed shutdown protect capital goods and machinery.
Access permission and operating mode selection - Functions that convince!

Clearly defined responsibilities and clear operation levels help to increase productivity, particularly on complex machines. For example, users are only to be provided with the operator panels and permissions that are actually relevant to them? That and many other functions are part of a modern system for access permission.
Ready, set, go: Safety laser scanners PSENscan make mobile applications productive!

Safety laser scanners PSENscan are not only used to safeguard automated guided vehicles (AGV) but also offer many additional benefits in production environments and intralogistics.
Safety laser scanner PSENscan Standalone C++ Library

PSENscan also supplies data on a UDP network protocol and can be used in ROS environments as well as on Linux or Windows, as with the C++ Library for example.

Machinery Directive becomes Machinery Regulation!

The new Machinery Regulation has been published in the Official Journal of the EU. After a transition period, the new regulation will replace the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and apply to all companies in the European Economic Area that design, build and sell machinery. Machines that are imported into the area of European jurisdiction also have to meet the requirements. What’s changing and when will the new Machinery Regulation become mandatory?
