Innovative safety engineering for metal machining

The metal processing industry has relied on industrial safety engineering from Euchner for decades. Highlights at this year’s EMO include the latest communicating safety guard locking devices, the new CTS compact guard locking device, and the CTA safety switch for harsh environments. Euchner will also be showcasing its versatile new CKS2 key system for machines and installations. The proven MGB2 Modular for safety doors is now available for EtherCAT/FSoE as well.

Innovative guard locking with the compact CTS and the CTA for harsh environments

Safety switches with guard locking are the key to keeping production personnel safe from harm and safeguarding processes. These transponder-coded safety switches with guard locking have the highest safety level. The CTS safety switch is the latest development in this field. Measuring only 135 by 31 by 31 mm and featuring a locking force up to 3,900 N, plus diverse mounting options, it is versatile enough for almost any application. The CTS can be mounted in three directions to protect both hinged and sliding doors, and users can add an escape release at any time.

The CTA safety switch has already proven its worth time after time. Its robust metal housing and a locking force of up to 8,000 N predestine it for use on heavy doors. Offering a high IP65/IP67/IP69/IP69K degree of protection, this switch is the perfect choice for almost any industrial use – especially if this involves a harsh, dirty environment.

All guard locking devices can be connected in several different ways. Combining the devices with an Euchner IO-Link Gateway gives them the additional benefit of communicating in Industry 4.0 applications.
