Solutions for cable cars

Cable cars are now an indispensable form of transportation in winter sports areas and municipal transport systems. Whether travelling by funicular, aerial cableway or T-bar lift, passengers must always be transported safely.

Passenger cabins that “hover” up to several hundred metres above ground place huge demands on safety. When it comes to control technology, therefore, cable car manufacturers rely on failsafe PSS control technology or on the automation system PSS 4000 from Pilz.

Steel and Aluminium Industry

This industry in particular uses large, interlinked machinery such as rolling mills, galvanisation plants or surface treatment equipment. These are often complex, for example requiring protection against an uncontrolled start-up, via LOTO (Lock Out – Tag Out) or a locked stop for example. http://www.pilz.com

New standard series EN ISO 16092 for press safety

The standard series EN ISO 16092 consists of four parts. Part 1 describes the safety aspects common to all presses. Part 2 deals with mechanical presses, Part 3 with hydraulic presses and Part 4 with pneumatic presses. In accordance with the Machinery Directive, presses are subject in part to Annex IV. In other words, they are included among the ”hazardous machinery” with a special conformity procedure, which is based particularly on harmonised EN standards. EN ISO 16092 Part 1 and Part 3 have been harmonised since March 2019. The transition period ends in September 2021 for EN 692 and EN 13736 and in March 2021 for EN 693. http://www.pilz.com

Our values

This is not just a realistic self-appraisal; it also reflects the way the company is perceived by customers, suppliers and competitors.

The ability to come up with solutions, flexibility and competitiveness are qualities which do not apply to any other company within the „electronic pressure measurement technology sector“ better than they do to BD|SENSORS. http://www.bdsensors.de

Concentrating on the electronic pressure measurement technology segment of the market always has been and still is the basis for continuous growth; this approach is highly profitable and involves an acceptable level of risk.

Safe Robotics at a Glance

The project aims to develop a disruptive, inherently safe hardware-software platform for the design and deployment of human-robot collaboration (HRC) in manufacturing. By combining innovative sensor, drive and control technologies and integrating them into an open development environment, the ROSSINI platform will deliver a set of tools which will enable the dissemination of HRC applications. These technologies have been developed by market leaders in their field. Human operators and robots merge to become members of the same team, increasing job quality, production flexibility and productivity. http://www.pilz.com

Pilz has supported the ROSSINI project right from the start as technical manager. Pilz also looks after the fields of robotic manipulators and sensor development.
What was the motivation for getting involved in Rossini? “There is genuine added value for Pilz and its customers”, says Mr Castro and Mr Schweiker, the two Rossini project managers at Pilz. “It is important for us as a company to make a contribution to the current research and development in HRC and so support progress, particularly in the field of safety. What’s more, it’s important for us as developers to maintain a lively, cross-sector exchange among experts and world market leaders.
