Panasonic recently launched the SF4D safety light curtain series. In addition to the existing advantages of this light curtain range – including a slim and robust body combined with a new optical system for easy beam alignment, the company has also added IO-Link communication for safety light curtains.
SICK UK has announced the launch of the outdoorScan3, which is believed to be the first laser scanner to be safety-certified for use outdoors.
AESSEAL believes it is able to offer the world’s first IECEx compliant short canister mixer seal (SCMS) range.
Emerson has introduced two new Rosemount628 Universal Gas Sensors to measure carbon monoxide and oxygen depletion in addition to the existing capability to monitor hydrogen sulphide. These additions are said to enable a broader range of hazardous situations to be monitored using the Rosemount 928 Wireless Gas Monitor platform.
Indegy has introduced CIRRUS, which is believed to be the first Industrial CyberSecurity as a Service (ICSaaS) offering.
IDEC Corporation has released of its new HS1T interlock switch with solenoid. This interlock switch is said to deliver 5,000N of locking force. It includes features that help maximise protection in machine and equipment guarding applications.
With a hygienic stainless-steel housing designed to meet stringent pharmaceutical industry requirements, a new safety light curtain is resistant to aggressive cleaning and decontamination regimes.
The Pepperl+Fuchs brand ecom has introduced the next generation of its ATEX Zone 1/21 and Div. 1 certified, intrinsically safe 4G/LTE-Android-smartphone Smart-Ex.
Indegy has announced the availability of the Indegy Industrial Cybersecurity Suite app on Cortex by Palo Alto Networks – an open and integrated AI-based continuous security platform.
Radiflow, a provider of cyber security solutions for industrial automation networks, has added dynamic vulnerability assessment scoring capabilities to its iSID industrial threat detection solution.
Boulting has launched A BS EN 60079:17-compliant cloud-based inspection software that enables plant engineers to ensure control equipment in hazardous areas.
With the launch of its Safe EFI-pro System, SICK has delivered standard industrial Ethernet-based safety network integration for highly-adaptive and dynamic safeguarding in automated production and logistics environments to SIL 3/PLe.
The GEMÜ 1205 electrical position indicator, which is housed in a flameproof enclosure, is based on tried-and-tested engineering for use in demanding ambient conditions.
The openness of today’s IIoT infrastructures poses an increased cyber security threat due to the vulnerability by the use of networks for IT/OT convergence. This has exposed exploitable opportunities for hackers. To add confidence in industrial control system (ICS), Lanner has introduced its next-generation industrial cyber security gateway.
Emerson has extended its Plantweb digital ecosystem with the addition of Location Awareness which is said to provide a cost-effective way to safeguard industrial manufacturing workers
The KFD2-RSH safety relays from Pepperl+Fuch are designed to overcome the weaknesses of force-guided contacts. The device combines diagnostics, line fault transparency, and triple redundancy in a one-out-of-three architecture.
Compliance with strict safety requirements is a basic prerequisite for the operation of robot systems in production environments today. The Schmersal Group can offer a wide range of coordinated safety components and safety systems for use in such applications allow robot workstations to be reliably and efficiently made safe, to protect people and to help increase plant productivity.
The new KFD2-RSH safety relays from Pepperl+Fuchs combine a diagnostic function, line fault transparency, and dual redundancy in a one-out-of-three architecture.
In the automotive, packaging and intralogistics sectors material locks often need to be safeguarded against unauthorised access by means of safety sensors. Traditionally, muting processes with muting sensors have been required to clearly identify when transported goods are approaching a protective field and to bridge the passing of these goods through the protective field at the correct moment.
