Pilz launches first safety system based on radar technology

Pilz says the latest addition to its portfolio of machinery safety products is the world's first safe system for protection zone monitoring based on radar technology. It comprises the LBK System safe radar from Inxpect SpA and the the Pilz PNOZmulti 2 compact configurable safety controller. The overall system provides safe, economical monitoring even in demanding environments - such as dusty woodworking production areas - or with complex plant structures. Benefits of the safe radar system include high plant or machine productivity, despite the the harsh environment. The safe radar system expands the Pilz PSEN family of safe sensors.

New range of split spherical roller bearings from SKF Cooper

The new range of SKF Cooper split spherical roller bearings helps customers reduce maintenance downtime, save money and improve worker safety. Most advances in split bearing technology have been incremental improvements over the last 100 years. However, with the introduction of the SKF Cooper split spherical roller bearing, a new level in product quality and precision engineering has been achieved by combining SKF's spherical roller bearing and SKF Cooper's split bearing expertise. Manufactured at SKF Cooper in the UK, the new split bearing range enables customers to significantly reduce downtime by the replacement of solid bearings in-situ.

Functional safety encoder monitors speed, direction and position

The new Safe SENC incremental encoder with HTL interface from Wieland Electric is available as an accessory to the Wieland Samos range or for use with other third-party systems. This encoder makes it possible to monitor the speed, direction and position of a motor and/or machine load to provide secure feedback. Unlike a standard encoder, the SENC safety encoder allows speed and angle at the axes to be reliably measured, achieving a safety level to PLe (according to EN 13849) and SIL3 (IEC 61508). It is suitable for safety rated speed, direction and position monitoring of all machines. The SENC incremental encoder offers up to 1024ppr, depending on accuracy requirements, and is available in sizes 58mm and 90mm with hollow or solid shafts, together with matching cables and accessories.

Harting connectors for Single Pair Ethernet communications

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is growing at a rapid pace. Experts agree that Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) will be one of the key technologies that significantly shapes the success of the IIoT. The factory of the future requires high data streams and the industrial sector needs connectivity which adapts itself to increasingly growing demands. This is most effectively achieved via standards that are developed and advanced through partnerships in an open eco-system.
