Bar code positioning units include:
  • Leuze BPS 8 transmits the calculated position values to the primary control via an RS232 interface.
  • Leuze BPS 34 via PROFIBUS DP interface.
  • Leuze BPS 37 via SSI interface.
Ideal for determining the position of rail-mounted industrial trucks, suspension tracks, crane systems, high-bay storage devices or similar automated systems because they function without mechanical wear or slippage.

Marshall Wolf Automation is your Leuze industrial supply distributor for a full line of bar code readers, bar code positioning systems, identification systems and data transmission systems.

Marshall Wolf Automation also carries a full line of photoelectric light sensors, safety relays, ultrasonic range sensors and distance measurement devices.

Do you have any spare body parts?

Thursday, March 25, 2010 by Amy Becker

I don’t know about you, but I happen to like have fingers, arms and for that matter all of my body parts. My job does not put me in situations where I may lose body parts. Of course sometimes I lose my mind, OK more than sometimes, at least once a day, but that is not the same risk as those of you working in industrial settings.

No matter what industry you work in, there will be inherent risk. If you happen to work with a cardboard bailing machine you are aware this can be a very dangerous machine. You must make sure all safety features are functioning properly on all baling and compacting machines. A key safety feature is an enabling switch. These switches are designed to operate in only one position causing a stop condition in any other position. In hazardous locations, the safety guard may need to be enabled. An enabling switch allows machine operation only when specific procedures have been met. These machines must only be run when all safety interlocks are engaged. Please keep all of your fingers and other body parts. Enabling switches can help. 

We offer a variety of switches from Euchner and Idec. We have simple on/off switches as well as switches that offer E-stop, control pushbuttons, key selector switch and LED’s. Marshal Wolf Automation is an industrial automation distributor. We can provide switches, monitoring relays, as well as many other items.  Visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com or contact us at sales@wolfautomation.com. We will be happy to help you find what you are looking for, as well as helping you to keep all of those body parts!
