When assembling battery modules, expensive and sensitive electrochemical components are gripped, transported and fitted safely and accurately. To guarantee the safety of people and the processes, risks must be identified in advance and action needs to be taken to minimise them. With our intelligent safety-related automation technology and our expertise in operation, set-up and maintenance, we can support you in implementing protective measures that comply with the standards. This means that you can achieve maximum system availability and functional safety safely and directly.
As production systems are changing faster than ever before, they need an increasingly large number of controlled movements.
High standards of occupational safety must be observed and the individual production steps need to be continuously monitored and documented.
Take advantage of our full range of options. We have the safe and reliable solution for your requirements, whether electric, pneumatic or a mix.
The integrated PROFIsafe module makes it even easier to implement up to six electrical voltage zones. Implement integrated control functions and flexible, safe electrical zones up to PLe Cat. 4 in one device. The implemented valve function may deviate from this.
The comprehensive zone concept of the VTSA-F-CB enables safe shut-off via external safety devices and safety control outputs, which are activated, for example, via CIP Safety or FSoE.
The internal links between the pneumatic and electric section of the valve terminal and the elimination of external cable connections result in improved internal diagnostic options.
All safety valves also comply with ISO standard 13849-1 and the EU Machinery Directive. This is Safety@Festo – directly in the application.
The MS6 series offers a wide range of functional combination options. Examples include the manual on/off valve MS-EM, which protects against an unexpected restart (lockout tagout), and the soft-start/quick exhaust valve MS6-SV.
Soft-start/quick exhaust valve MS6-SV
The electropneumatic soft-start/quick exhaust valve MS6-SV is used to reduce pressure quickly and safely (de-energisation) and to build up pressure gradually (safe energisation) in industrial pneumatic piping systems and terminal equipment.
There are three different safety valves available, which each provide the safety functions:
from Performance Level c to e.
Servo drive CMMT-AS with integrated safety functions
The compact CMMT-AS for point-to-point and interpolating motion is suitable for different Ethernet-based bus systems and can be directly integrated in the system environments of various manufacturers.
To make sure that you can also safely operate electric axes, there are various safety functions that are available, as well as diagnostic outputs for reporting the active safety functions.
