Welcome

Gareth Ford Business Area Manager Machine & Safety

The Machine & Safety business area offers a wide range of products for the industrial automation and machine safety markets.

These include sensors, encoders, connector systems, safe edges, photoelectric safety barriers and industrial barcode readers.

In 2012 we became the sole partner for Datalogic sensor and safety products in the UK and our team of sales engineers and support staff are fully trained in their use and applications. This enables us to offer excellent on site and remote support so please give us a call and let us help you with your application. Datalogic has a comprehensive program of new product introductions this year and we will be keeping you updated both through articles in this magazine and news on our website.

Please see page 6 of this magazine for the latest example.

Also during 2015 we will introduce the new Molex HDC industrial connectors, new encoders from Kubler, a new range of limit switches from Comepi and many other new and interesting products from our other suppliers.

If you have any comments or feedback please feel free to contact me at gareth.ford@uk.oem.se or telephone me directly on 0116 284 6707

The hinge is the switch SHS3 makes it unnecessary to replace the safety hinge switch when equipment like safety gates are damaged as the result of mechanical stress. Even after the switching point has been set, if need be, the user can now correct the hinge setting with the aid of the integrated fine adjustment system.

The SHS3 hinge switch is reusable even when the entire system needs to be converted: with the aid of a change kit, the user can redefine the switching point without losing the high protection rating of IP67.

Safe With suitable system layout, the switch can be used up to performance level e.

The following variants are available: • 2 positive opening safety contacts • 2 positive opening safety contacts with additional normally-open signalling contact • With integrated AS interface Safety at Work Reliable • The protection rating is IP 67, stainless steel version also available with IP 69K • The load-bearing hinge is made from stainless steel or die-cast zinc while the switching system is housed in a high quality plastic enclosure Fast To connect the SHS3 even more efficiently, the two contacts are designed as normally closed contacts with Ultra-Lock technology, thus enabling connection with an M12 cable.
