Certified encoders for functional safety

• The efficient solution for implementing safety functions at drives
  • Reduced costs and improved productivity by avoiding unnecessary shutdowns
  • Easy integration into existing systems or for machine retrofitting with little effort 
  • Certified functional safety encoders, incremental SinCos or square wave signals, with mounting options, electronics and signal routing certified as well
  • Perfect match for your application in shaft and hollow shaft design, cable and connector outlet, varied mounting types
• Safe speed limits 
  • Safe monitoring of maximum speed
  • Function identical to that of classic mechanical speed switches
  • Trigger input limits speed only when required
  • Extended machine service life by avoiding overspeed
  • Shorter servicing time thanks to safe access to hazardous areas
  • Increased occupational safety
• Safe direction of travel
  • The machine will safely move in the defined direction only
  • For allowing access to hazardous areas, for example
  • Shorter set-up time thanks to better access to the set-up area
  • Increased occupational safety based on customer's hazard analysis of the safe direction
• Safe speed monitor
  • Ensuring that speed is below a defined minimum value
  • For allowing access to hazardous areas while the safety door is open, for example
  • Less time required to fix a blocking production line
  • Increased occupational safety based on customer's hazard analysis of speed limits

Implementation of safety functions, for example at

• Drives
• Cranes and lifting gears
• Theater stages
• Wind power plants
• Centrifuges
• Transport and conveyor systems
• Handling systems
• Driverless vehicles
• Dosing and filling machines
• Cutting, punching and pressing
• High-frequency spindles
• Pharmaceutical machines
• Saws
• And at any other machinery where persons access the machine's working space or danger zone
