Safety Guards

Safety guards reliably demarcate hazardous areas and prevent direct access to hazardous machine areas. At the same time, they protect sensitive and time-critical processes from unintentional intervention. This ensures a high level of safety and reliable production processes.

RFID Safety Switches – SD4RA

RFID Technology for Increased Protection Against Manipulation

RFID safety switches enable reliable position monitoring of movable safety guards such as safety doors. Thanks to modern RFID technology, they clearly recognize the actuator and ensure secure monitoring within the safety circuit. Three coding levels allow application-specific assignment of sensor and actuator. Individually coded variants provide maximum protection against manipulation.

What Sets the Safety Switches Apart

  • Compact, robust plastic housing with IP69 degree of protection

  • High protection against manipulation thanks to RFID technology

  • Individually coded variants for maximum protection against manipulation

  • Certified safety up to Performance Level e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 in accordance with EN 61508

  • Integrated LED for fast fault diagnosis

  • High switching distance of 12 mm ensures reliable operation even when the door is warped

RFID Safety Switch in the Application

If a process error occurs on a packaging machine, safety doors can be opened quickly and the fault rectified – this reduces downtimes. The machine can only be started at this point once the safety door is properly closed again.

Product Overview

Electromagnetic Guard Locking Devices – SD4IC

Electromagnetic Locking for Secure Access Protection

Electromagnetic guard locking devices monitor movable safety guards and reliably keep them closed. Due to their low-wear operation, they are particularly suitable for applications with frequent switching cycles. Extensive diagnosis functions enhance system availability and simplify installation and maintenance.

Advantages at a Glance

  • Certified safety up to Performance Level e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 in accordance with EN 61508

  • Optional permanent magnet with 15 N

  • Variants with adjustable electrical detent mechanism with 30 to 100 N

  • Contact-free and therefore low-wear operation

  • Possibility of series connection or cascading

Personal Protection and Process Safety

In the variants for personal and process safety, the safety outputs are switched on when the safety door is closed and the locking device is blocked.

If no personal protection is required, the variants for process safety can be used: With these, the safety outputs are already switched on when the safety door is closed. It is not necessary to lock the locking device there.

Product Overview

Electromechanical Guard Locking Devices – S2FP

Maximum Locking Force for the Highest Protection

Electromechanical safety guard locking devices reliably keep guards closed until dangerous machine movements are safely stopped. The mechanical locking makes them particularly suitable for applications with run-on times and offers robust protection in demanding industrial environments.

Impressive Benefits for Safe Processes

  • High locking force of 1,150 N

  • Certified safety up to Performance Level e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 in accordance with EN 61508

  • Innovative star handle operating concept for actuation from three directions

  • Reliable function even with high door offset

  • High protection against manipulation thanks to RFID technology

  • Individually coded variants for maximum protection against manipulation

  • Hygienic design with IP69 degree of protection

Electromechanical Guard Locking Devices in the Application

In order to make areas of machines accessible to workers, but to still provide protection against unauthorized access, guard locking devices are installed on doors. As soon as the process in the hazardous area is complete, the system is unlocked and the door can be opened again to change material, for example.

Personal Protection and Process Safety

In the variants for personal and process safety, the safety outputs are switched on when the safety door is closed and the locking device is blocked. If no personal protection is required, the variants for process safety can be used: With these, the safety outputs are already switched on when the safety door is closed. It is not necessary to lock the locking device there.
