Safety light curtains

Safety light curtains protect against unauthorized access of people to rooms and/or machines. A safety light curtain consists of at least two components, a transmitter and a receiver. It is possible to connect several light curtains to each other and to make use of a master/slave setup (cascade).

Safety PLC - Safety controller

A safety PLC or safety controller monitors various safety functions of safety light curtains, laser scanners, photocells, emergency shutdown buttons and two-hand operation in one flexible system. With free software it is easy to set up a security system.

Safety pull-wire switches

Pull-wire switches with safety function are used on machines to enable an emergency stop over a long distance. When operating the pull-wire switch, the safety pull-cord switch switches. Thanks to the (long) pull cord, entire machine lines can be secured.

Safety position switches

Safety position switches check the position of, for example, valves or valves or confirm the presence of an object (s). The difference with regular position switches is that safety position switches meet the standards for a safe working environment.

Due to the cleaning process at a chicken processing plant, the paint slowly disappeared from the pull cord safety device. A plastic protection solved this!

Help! Is my machine safe?

Are you a machine builder who needs to protect machines and you don't know where to start? Or are you a user of machines that need to be protected? In addition to offering the right products, we can also help you apply these products by SIL and PL machine safety standards.

Technical product specialist Gijs Korf helps you answer questions about, among other things, the most suitable type of light barrier according to the standard for walk-in protection and whether you need one or two switches to monitor a door.

Vision cameras and sensors

Vision sensors are suitable for the simplest detections to (complicated) robot applications. From object detection, measuring distance, measuring thickness, recognizing colour, recognizing (bar) codes to breaking control.

Power analysers

A power analyser from Janitza is the standard behind every transformer or generator. The analyzers measure all imaginable quantities, determine the voltage quality according to EN61000-2-4 and record voltage dips, peaks and waveforms.

Photocells

Photocells are widely used in automation. The extensive choice of principles, dimensions, (detection) range and type of output enable many applications with photocells. Possible application areas are object detection, object positioning and detection of transparent objects.

Signal towers and signal pillars

Signal towers and signal pillars are important visual and auditory signaling devices for use in machines or in automation processes. Modular signal towers are available in several variants as surface mounted, wall and panel mounting versions. Optical, acoustic and optical-acoustic models are also available.

Absolute and incremental encoders

Encoders are electronic sensors with a rotating shaft that generates pulses when the shaft rotates. An encoder is also called pulse generator. There are basically two types of encoders: incremental encoders and absolute encoders.

Universal measurement devices

Universal measurement devices measure the most common electrical parameters and are available in panel and DIN rail mounting and can be supplied in all conceivable bus systems.

Sensor and actuator cables

Sensor and actuator cables combine the typical requirements of the automation industry in one product: halogen, PVC and silicone free. Suitable for energy chains, fire retardant, resistant to chemicals, oil, microbes and hydrolysis. Available with different cable qualities such as PVC, PUR and PURrobotic.

M12 power cables

Nowadays everything is plug-in. Everything can be connected to each other with a simple action. With M12 Power it is possible to make power plug-in. By using splitters, the total length of cables becomes shorter and cabling costs are saved.

Industrial connectors

Industrial connectors are available in different materials, each suitable for a specific application. Normal environmental conditions, high temperature environments, aggressive environments, as well as environments that require electromagnetic compatibility.

Safety photocells

A photocell detects people to prevent unwanted access. When a person crosses the infrared beam, the technical installation is (temporarily) interrupted. Safety photocells meet the safety standards.
