What is being done to ensure the number of robot-related deaths remains as low as it’s been, if not lower?
How to choose between proximity sensor, photo eye and fiberoptic sensor
A Control Design reader writes: We had downtime on a production machine due to failure of a presence sensor recently. The inductive sensor that failed had a unique form factor and was embedded in a part nest.
The new and improved XX Ultrasonic sensors from Telemecanique Sensors make reliable detection “Simply easy!”
Highly immune to electromagnetic interference
The new XX ultrasonic sensors are E2-certified for mobile equipment. This entails a higher immunity to electromagnetic interference even in the most demanding environments.
Seven industry experts on how to consider design, integration, testing and operation
A Control Design reader writes: I work at a packaging plant where safety upgrades to palletizing equipment excessively stopped the machine and confused multiple technicians, ultimately leading to some of the safety measures being bypassed, which resulted in an operator injury.
