Light curtains are commonplace in today’s manufacturing and packaging facilities. They fall into the category of ESPE (Electro Sensitive Protective Equipment). They use AOPD (Active Opto-electronic Protection Devices) for safeguarding persons when interacting with machinery.
With PITestop active, Pilz has a new range of E-STOP pushbuttons that can be activated electrically and indicates by illumination whether or not it is active.
With PITestop active, Pilz has a new range of E-STOP pushbuttons that can be activated electrically. It indicates by illumination whether or not it is active. So you ensure greater flexibility and modularisation, completely in the spirit of Industrie 4.0. Users also benefit from a reduction in energy costs: that’s because it is no longer necessary to keep power applied to the entire plant in order to maintain the E-STOP function.
Pilz has produced a poster of the European Harmonised Standards associated with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the main legislation governing health and safety requirements for machines across Europe.
