Safety laser scannersDatalogic safety laser scanners are said to provide a cost-effective way to protect an entire area. This can be a static application, such as a robot cell, or the area surrounding a moving device such as an AGV. The scanners are configurable and feature a 275-deg. viewing window that allows several user-defined zones of protection. […]

Control valvesFisher V280 full-bore trunnion-mounted ball control valves for severe and specialty pressure, flow, and process-control applications, use a drive train to guide the shaft and absorb energy. Available attenuators for liquid and gas process fluids offer a solution for combatting the negative consequences of cavitation, such as vibration, erosion, and noise. Valve body connections are […]

Valve manifoldThe VTSA-F-CB (CB for C-Bus) pneumatic valve manifold offers serial communication that enables as many as three safety-shutdown groups per manifold. It is compatible with combinations of pilot air-control valves, soft-start exhaust valves, proportional valves, and vacuum generators. The C-Bus plug-and-play integration simplifies, speeds up, and lowers component costs when installing pneumatic safety circuits, which […]
