Safety

A basic requirement in safety is to stop a machine in a dangerous condition for workers. Emergency stop equipment stops the machine as fast as possible to protect a person in danger.

Precise monitoring of the position of guards and covers on machines protect workers. They limit access to the dangerous parts of the machine. Safety limit switches guarantee that the guards and covers are in place before the machine is started.

Reliable monitoring of the correct position of a door or a guard is a key element in machine safety to protect workers.

Safety sensors are the first choice in safeguarding workplaces where persons and machines cooperate. Built-in intelligence stops the machine in conditions that are dangerous for the worker.

Easy, scalable and intelligent linking and processing of safety-related signals and standard control signals is a basic requirement in the industrial automated field.

Using one tool and operation concept, Omron safety controllers offer transparent standalone operation or scalability in safety networking applications for all sizes of machine control systems.

Protection of workers is finally achieved when the dangerous movement is stopped. Omrons relays and contactors with integrated safety function are designed to shutdown the machine reliably and safely. Quickest and most reliable shutdown as a next step in safety integration is provided by inverters with embedded safety function.
