Leuze Safety Controllers

Friday, February 3, 2012 by Caryl Clement
Compact safety controls are being used increasingly to monitor the safety circuit on small to medium size machines. Users prefer a safety system that is quick and easy to install, and is independent of the standard controller. Designed as plug-and-play components, Safety controllers and safety relays from Leuze Electronics are well matched to each other and are easier to use than ever before.
The new Leuze MSI 100 and MSI 200 programmable safety controllers feature simple handling during commissioning, flexible configuration options and broad, on-board functionality. They offer an optimum system solution for small to medium size machines.
For very large machines and systems, the modularly expandable Leuze MS 200 is the appropriate solution. With this device, systems with up to 140 safety modules or with 44 drive components can easily be monitored. Additional MSI-FB fieldbus modules enable the transfer of diagnostic data to their respective PLC via the fieldbus.
The function of Leuze controllers can be quickly and effectively programmed using MSIsafesoft software. PLC open-certified function blocks, which can be integrated into the safety circuit using drag and drop functionality, facilitate the menu-driven operation.

Leuze Electronics photo sensor

Monday, November 14, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Leuze Electronic's new HRTR 46B-TEACH photo sensor is in fact two sensors integrated into one housing. This enables it to return two independent switching signals, making it possible to achieve complex tasks such as detecting two location points in for example a storage rack. Doing this with only one sensor instead of two saves cost, space and simplifies installation.

The sensor's scanning range is adjusted by an innovative 'site-sensitive' detection method using a custom semiconductor developed by Leuze electronic. This design means that there are no moving parts within the sensor to made the range adjustments.

The functions of a photosensitive receiver structure and the logical processing are combined within this single semiconductor chip.

Protect your people and equipment with ASO SKL Safety Contact Edge!


aso logo
aso

Safety contact edges are employed to guard closing edges at possible crushing or shearing points.  They are used in gates, machine and handling facilities to protect people and equipment.  They consist of an aluminum support profile, the contactor profile and the safety contact edge.  The special shape of the EPDM or NBR rubber profiles protects the inside safety contact edge in the best possible way from damage and allows actuating angles to exceed 90°.

The SKL profiles are constructed according to the one chamber principle into which the contact surfaces have been extruded.  Adhesive film or a special mounting on the side facilitate the installation.

ASO products are available from Euchner through Marshall Wolf Automation.

Leuze Electronics HRTR 46B-TEACH

Thursday, June 16, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Leuze Electronics HRTR 46B-TEACHThe new HRTR 46B-TEACH from Leuze Electronics enables configuration and diagnostics directly from the control, thereby saving a lot of time.

The times of long distances between the system control and the sensor are now a thing of the past thanks to the newest IO-Link sensor. Thanks to the possibility of configuring and diagnosing the sensor directly in the system control, not only is the start-up of a system considerably accelerated, but restoring a setting after replacing the sensor is child's play. In addition, these sensors also increase the flexibility of a system, since, for example, formats can be converted quickly and automatically.

Buy one sensor and get the performance of two - that's what we call efficient!

With the new HRTR 46B-TEACH, two sensors are integrated into one housing. With the newly-developed, site-sensitive sensor, the devices return two independent switching signals, depending on the model. This makes it possible to realize complex tasks such as two point regulations with only one sensor.

Leuze Sensors

Friday, June 3, 2011 by Caryl Clement

Leuze electronic presents Multiple Light Beam Safety Devices and, for the first time, 3-beam Transceiver systems as well in various function classes for access guarding, also with Muting. And no additional modules are necessary!

MLD Series Leuze SensorsIt is advantageous from a cost effectiveness and optimum usability standpoint to use safety sensors that are characterized by functions that match the specific requirements of the given application as closely as possible. The Multiple Light Beam Safety Device MLD 300 (type 2, PLd) and MLD 500 (type 4, PLe) have been specially designed for this.

The MLD sensors are characterized by their individual function classes. A start/restart interlock and contactor monitoring can thereby be selected and, if necessary, various Muting modes realized. The series can be used both as standard access guarding as well as for applications where Sequential, Parallel or Partial Muting is required. Additional Muting devices are not required, thus simplifying construction and lowering costs during setup of the Muting application.
