Integrated Machine Safety Controls
Modernize Legacy Machines
Intrinsic or HazLoc Safety Systems
Safety enclosures for Class/Div rated areas focused on arc/spark exposed to ignition sources requiring low voltage safety switches routing with blue wiring and IMC conduit to safe zones thru safety barriers and relays in NEMA 7/9 enclosures.
Vertical Safety Doors
Space-saving, vertical door preventing a pinch point, actuating a double acting cylinder using a PO check valve to minimize gravitational drift using 2-hand controls. Rod locks, proximity sensors, and safety valves can be added.
2-Hand Controls
Our Allen-Bradley opti-button 2-hand control system comes with an anti-tie down relay tying both buttons together creating a single-cycle safety circuit. Whether you need required spacing or height, we can supply the system with a bracket only or with a pedestal.
Pneumatic Energy Control
Filter and regulator air preparation unit with a slow-start safety redundant exhaust valve, equipped with a lockout / tagout (LOTO) module, commonly used on port sizes of 1/4" and 3/8" NPT, used to assist with stored-energy control.
Speed Monitoring Safety System
When looking to provide a safe stop condition on a legacy machine without any braking mechanisms, a safety end coder based zero-speed feedback system can be used to monitor machine mechanical state controlling operator accessibility in conjunction with a door locking safety system.
E-Stop Devices
Wired emergency stop devices in single or dual channel configuration, such as push button with boxes, push buttons integrated into control panels, and emergency rope pull devices (ISO 13850), all with the required labeling and hardware to provide the required quick stop action to a machine function.
Wireless E-Stops
Use a wireless emergency stop when moving in a long run where e-stop buttons are too far away. These safety-rated devices hop frequencies to avoid bandwidth interference while communicating with a control module located in our enclosure.
Grip Enabling Switch
A handheld device, deadman switch, or enabling joystick, used for an operator to bypass the machine safety functions allowing operators to perform a machine function at a jog or safe speed, which are required for continuous run to make adjustments or quality check materials. Machine to emergency stop if not continuously held in place showing an open circuit for added protection.
CNC Port Spin Window
Improve visibility of your machining environment which include milling machines and lathes through self-cleaning by removing or slinging coolant and chips from a viewing area of your access door, boosting productivity, and reducing machine downtime in the process.
Camera Monitoring System
Visual protection can be added as an administrative control resource by removing operators from machine hazards by replacing their eyes with a closed-loop camera and monitor to view machining operations.
