August 14, 2018

The new sensor PRO safety limit switches (series SLS) from Wieland provide safe position monitoring in almost any industrial application. With a metal actuator that can be turned and swapped without tools, sensor PRO SLS switches are a highly reliable position monitoring solution rated to IP66/ 67.

Series SLS switches are suitable for use in conveyor object detection, end-position control, door position detection, and many other safety applications. Actuation of the switch contacts is monitored by Wieland’s safety relays, samos®PRO COMPACT safety controller, or similar devices and will shut down the machine immediately, addressing any safety hazard.

Benefits at a glance:

-Self-cleaning contacts

-IP66 and IP67 rated protection

-Mechanical life of up to 30 million operations

-Maximum contact reliability of 1mA at 24VDC

-Highest reliability of switching even at very low currents

-High robustness due to the metallic actuator and mounting bracket

-Tool-free turning of the actuator and tool-free replacement of the actuator

-Actuators can be rotated or swapped in 45 ° increments by pulling the fastening clip

Ordering information, features and application examples for the new products and suitable accessories can be found in the Wieland Safety Catalog.

SICK: AS30 Array Sensors

SICK has come out with the AS30 sensor arrays. Array sensors operate on the proximity scanning principle. They detect even the smallest edges based on differences in grayscale values within the field-of-view. Positioning of, for example, a paper web based on the web edge or a contrast line is only one of many possible applications. Widths, diameters, and gaps can also be detected. In reflector mode, the array sensors can even detect transparent materials.
