Schmersal (UK), specialists in man-machine safety systems, launches the BNS/AES non-contact guard monitoring system, a unique combination of safety devices approved by the European notified body BG
Commenting on its operation, managing director Terry Hayward explains that for an enabling signal to be given, the active zones on each side of the safety sensor must be actuated by the BPS 16 coded magnetic actuators, which can be flexibly installed to safety guards regardless of local conditions.
The BNS 16 LR is IP67-rated and, when used with an appropriate safety-monitoring module such as the Schmersal SRB/AES range, will achieve Control category 4/PDF-M.
The safety sensor is suitable for concealed mounting under non-magnetic materials.
Working surfaces and storage areas can be arranged without the need for dust-collecting edges or other cutouts or projections.
