Pepperl+Fuchs SLCS and SLCT Safety Light Curtains


Pepperl+Fuchs introduces SLCS and SLCT Series Safety Light Curtains. Available in IEC 61496-compliant Type 4 or Type 2 versions, these high resolution and ultra-slim safety light curtains reduce the safe mounting distance with respect to the point-of-operation hazard enabling them to be installed with a “built-in” look and feel, even in the most space restrictive applications. The small footprint (just 20 mm wide x 30 mm deep) and optional quick-release mounting bracket facilitates fast, flexible mounting.

SLCS Type 4 and SLCT Type 2 series safety light curtains use standard M12 micro connector cordsets, and feature completely integrated control electronics and solid state OSSDs for a fully self-contained 2-box system that delivers simplified wiring and setup. No separate control module is necessary, nor is a synchronization cable connection required between the transmitter and receiver. The provide a maximum sensing range of 8 m (26 ft.), are available with beam spacings for finger (14 mm), hand (30 mm) and body detection (60 and 90 mm) configurations, and are tested to provide reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -22° F to +140°F (-30° C to +60° C).

An innovative quick-release clamp bracket facilitates fast installation, removal or replacement of individual light curtains without requiring any tools or other mounting hardware. In most cases light curtains can be replaced without disturbing transmitter and receiver alignment. The mounting brackets can be attached to any of the three sides of the light curtain for flexible 3-sided mounting. SLCS and SLCT safety light curtains also facilitate the option to have top-to-top mounting with no dead zone.

Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs pioneered the development of proximity sensors 50 years ago, and has set the standard for innovation and quality ever since.

Rittal TS8 Disconnect Door


Rittal's TS8 Disconnect Door, also referred to in Rittal's Innovations 2008/2009 Catalog as the TS Isolator Door Cover, is a 100mm wide cover that may be mounted in place of a side panel on our TS8 modular enclosures. With this cover, all standard single-door TS8 enclosures can be configured as disconnect enclosures utilizing switches from Schneider Electric/Square D, Allen Bradley, Siemens, General Electric and Moeller.

Use of this cover also ensures that the complete installation surface of the enclosure is still available. When used in conjunction with the integrable TS8 mounting plate infill, the mounting surface of the main enclosure can be enlarged by approximately 14 percent.


Rittal Compact Fluorescent Light Kit


Rittal's new Compact Fluorescent Light Kit is slimmer and brighter than conventional lights and installs quickly using clips, screws or optional magnets.

Features

  • Slimmer: Around 50% less height and depth and also around 75% less volume than conventional lights.
  • Faster: Universal fast attachment via clips, screws, or powerful magnets (optional). Simply slide in at the side or rear, fit the light, and it’s done!
  • Brighter: Up to 75% greater luminous efficiency from the lamp with the same power helps to cut electricity costs.
  • Door-operated switch can also be connected via a 2-pole connection.


Phoenix Contact PSR-TRISAFE Safety Controller


The PSR-TRISAFE is the new safety controller from Phoenix Contact. A single TRISAFE controller can monitor an entire safety circuit, from emergency stops to safety doors, in a machine or plant.

The slim 67.5 mm safety controller can monitor up to 20 safety input signals. For example, the TRISAFE can monitor up to 10 dual contact emergency stops. It also provides four safety category 4 outputs, as well as outputs for a test pulse, alarm (aux) and ground switching.

Configuration is simple using the "Safe Configure" (SAFECONF) software package. The fully functional software requires no programming knowledge. A drag-and-drop interface makes it possible to integrate new safety equipment with just a few mouse clicks. SAFECONF software's simulation mode allows testing of the safety design without connecting the hardware. The software is available at www.phoenixcontact.com/trisafe for free download.
