Designed to easily implement safety functions
19 May 2015
Johannes Huebner Giessen has launched the next generation of the universal encoder system U-ONE, U-ONE-SAFETY, to support machine builders and system operators in their endeavours to prevent accidents.
When rectifying faults, setting up machines or performing test runs it is sometimes necessary to intervene in procedures when the machine is running, something that could pose a risk to the safety of operating personnel. Activating safety functions such as Safely-Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Direction (SDI) and Safely-Limited Position (SLP) permanently reduces these risks to safety.
New features include a safe position and error switch as well as the latest intrinsically safe absolute encoder interfaces. In addition, the system offers a reliable speed switch as well as optional current or incremental outputs.
The modular concept behind the system makes it possible to combine a variety of functions, output signals and interfaces to create the right solution for the respective application.
