SCHMERSAL AT HANNOVER MESSE 2023: NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR SAFETY AND AUTOMATION

At Hannover Messe, Schmersal will be demonstrating components and systems that not only contribute to occupational safety, but that meet the stringent requirements of intralogistics in terms of fail-safe operation and plant productivity.

Intelligent solenoid interlocks
A robot carrying out palletisation operations is safeguarded on the Schmersal stand with solenoid interlocks that keep guard doors locked until hazardous movements have come to a halt. Intelligent safety components, such as the AZM201 solenoid interlock with integrated AS-i-SaW interface, help to minimise downtime thanks to comprehensive diagnosis functions.

New Time-of-Flight procedure
Schmersal will be demonstrating a brand new technology at Hannover Messe for the first time – a technology in which the position and stacking height of boxes/crates palletised by robots is monitored by a TOF camera. The Time-of-Flight (ToF) procedure can be used to create a 3D image of the scene that is available as a point cloud. The scene can then be used to determine the positions and dimensions of objects.

New magnet track sensor box
Electric monorail conveyors are used to transport workpieces, tools and other purchased parts in almost every industry. Schmersal will be showcasing the SSB-R sensor box, which is used to define route sections for speed regulation for electric monorail conveyors in a manner that is cost-efficient and maintenance-free. It also allows park positions to be approached with careful accuracy.

New command and signalling devices in hygienic design
The H series from Schmersal will be showcased at Hannover Messe as a full range of command and signalling devices for hygiene-sensitive applications, particularly in food processing.
