The SIGUARD laser scanner LS4 is an optical distance sensor. The device periodically transmits light pulses within a working range of 190°. If these pulses hit an obstacle or a person, the light is reflected, received by the laser scanner and evaluated. The scanner calculates the exact coordinates of the "seen" obstacle from the light propagation time. If the obstacle/person is within the programmed zone, the scanner initiates a safe shutdown.Product featuresCat. 3 according to EN 954-1 or Type 3 according to EN 61496-3Protective field radius 4 m, Warning field radius 15 mFour switch-selectable protective and warning fieldsScanning range 190°...[ Read More ]
The SIRIUS Safety Relays - Mechanical Contact Outputs (3TK282.)When it comes to space-saving switching devices, our SIGUARD safety relay combinations fully reflect market trends. However, not only are they small, but they are great performers. This is because they have a contact arrangement that allows them to switch with intrinsic safety. Normally Closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts are positively driven in pairs. This means that if one of the contacts welds, then the other contact interrupts the circuit. A positively driven NC contact detects the faulted NO contact. This means that the safety relay would also drop out...[ Read More ]

Failsafe DrivesSafety systems are intended to protect man and machine against hazardous situations. Frequently, it is not sufficient to prevent access to hazardous areas and zones by just providing protective devices and equipment around the machine in the form of hardware. As soon as manual interventions must be made in the hazardous zones of machines, additional safety functions are required. The classic safety solution is to stop the machine by simply isolating the drive from the line supply in conjunction with mechanical equipment. However, this solution requires a considerable amount of wiring, circuitry and monitoring. State-of-the-art solutions integrate the safety...[ Read More ]
Load Feeders with Safety Integrated FunctionsThe SIRIUS Safety Integrated Load Feeders (3RA71.0)….. Safe Control, ..... 3 Devices in 1 Up until now, isolated and safe switching always represented additional costs. External switching devices had to be subsequently mounted/installed and connected up. That not only cost time and money, but represented a source of potential faults. That was the situation – because today we are offering our electronic safety functionality and two redundant SIRIUS auxiliary contactors, with contacts, in a preassembled, wired and tested device that is certified.
