Explore the future of welding with our cutting-edge Collaborative Robot (Cobot) Welding System, meticulously designed to elevate precision, efficiency, and productivity in welding processes.
Verify voltage presence and test for absence of voltage in one device.
Watch a servo or drives person in action, and it is generally only a matter of time before they are looking at a velocity vs time trace to fine tune the performance of a motor system. The reason: events that are occurring much faster than the eye can observe must be scrutinized. In Siemens TIA Portal, we have the ability to generate and save traces of our PLC logic.
As technological advances are made and the world moves towards automation, it is becoming clearer that a definite set of rules and regulations are necessary to ensure the protection of on-site staff and nearby equipment. The European Machinery Directive has been put to task, and it has implemented a series of risk assessment procedures, enhancing the safety of industrial machines. Similarly, in Germany, the Industrial Safety Regulation, requires all operators to regularly perform maintenance checks and fit-in safety technology wherever necessary.
We are heavily dependent on artificial lighting in almost all walks of life, whether its within our homes, at work or somewhere else. Different types of lighting mechanisms are used to illuminate a particular environment; however, LED lights have left a strong mark on the market. LED-based floodlights are becoming increasingly powerful for their bright and maintainable operation. But more or less, the ease of use has remained the same.
Accidents happen!
The indirect costs of accidents are greater than the direct costs. According to the ASSE (American Society of Safety Engineers) for every $1 of direct accident costs, there are typically $4 in indirect costs. These indirect costs may include the following. . .
Over the past years, manufacturing processes have increased in complexity and the move toward modularity of machines has caused the safety functions to move away from the classical centralized safety designs (for example, deactivation of the complete machine using a main switch) and into the machine control system and/or the integrated AC drives.
STOP!
When you were a kid playing ball your parents probably had to yell this at least once when your ball (inevitably) went into the street. Why was this so important? Because your parents had your safety in mind, they didn’t want you to get hit by a car!
20+ years later you are now working on or around machinery that may be just as dangerous as that busy street you grew up on. But your parents are not standing behind you just waiting to yell “Stop!” whenever they see a potential hazard approaching. So what do you do?
Magswitch’s disruptive technology is making headlines in the automation industry as it has broken the conventional monopoly of electromagnetic tools through an “On/Off” magnetic technology.
The new range of automation magnets operate with a simple 180-degree knob turn. Magswitch Technology uses the alignments of rare earth magnets with respect to each other for developing magnetic fields, that are then able to provide an ultra-lift that is not efficiently unachievable through electromagnetic technology.
