IDEM Non-Contact Guard Locking RFID Coded Safety Switches from AutomationDirect

August 10, 2020

IDEM non-contact RFID coded safety switches from AutomationDirect are designed to provide interlock protection on hinged, sliding or removable guard doors. These switches are particularly advantageous when poor guard alignment exists, when high-level anti-tamper is required, where high-hygiene requirements exist (food industry hose down applications) or where long mechanical life is required. When used in combination with a dual channel safety relay or control device, IDEM non-contact safety switches can provide protection up to Category 4 and PLe to ISO13849-1.

New IDEM KLP-Z, KLM-Z, and KL3-Z series tongue interlock safety switches with guard locking and RFID coding, fit into the leading edge of machine guard doors to provide robust guard locking while also providing a double tamper-resistant interlock mechanism. Providing position detection for moving guards, these switches remain locked until the solenoid voltage is applied to the switch. The switches can also be used in conjunction with delay timers to provide the solenoid energize signal only after a pre-determined amount of time has passed.

Also new, IDEM LMF series stainless steel RFID coded safety switches provide a wide 10mm sensing distance; and new M18 cylindrical barrel BPF/BMF series safety switches offer high tolerance for misalignment after sensing and are suitable for all industry applications.

IDEM cULus and CE approved non-contact guard locking RFID coded safety switches from AutomationDirect start at $290.55 and are backed by a one-year warranty.

Phoenix Contact: Powerful DC/DC converters

The new QUINT DC/DC converters have a dynamic power reserve. For starting heavy loads, the dynamic boost offers you twice the output power for 5 s. The SFB Technology (Selective Fuse Breaking Technology) delivers 6x the nominal current for 15 ms, which is enough power to reliably and economically protect your DC circuits. Standard miniature circuit breakers are selectively tripped while consumers connected in parallel continue working. The static boost with up to 125% continuous power makes it easy to expand the system.

Littelfuse SPD2 1P+0 Series Surge Protection

Littelfuse SPD2 1P+0 Series Surge Protection

The SPD2 1P+0 series is a surge protection device that safeguards components from transient overvoltage or surges that last micro-seconds by limiting the fault current to a load or the unit being protected. The majority of surges are caused by equipment being turned on or off within a facility. By limiting these surges, costly damage, downtime, repairs, and missed deadlines can be mitigated. The surge protection devices for the 1+0 configuration are available for 60 V to 600 V nominal voltage sub-distribution board applications.
