Moeller Electric Safety and Position Switches

Whether material handling systems, plastic injection molding, car washes or doors on trams: the safety/position switches LS-Titan are used wherever there is exact positioning requirement. With the new world innovation – the electronic safety/position switch LS-E – even exact adjustment of the set position is no longer required. The operating point can be “learned”. Simply at the “touch of a button”. The analog position switch with a voltage or current output also enables a range of new applications for the LS-Titan, where mechanical position detection could only provide insufficient information up to now – for example, detecting the position with opened flaps for flue gasses.
	The new electronic safety/position switches LSE-Titan are the ideal connection directly to the world of automation. This new innovation enables exact and continuous detection of the position of a flue gas flap or a servo drive. The position is converted to an analog voltage (0..10V) or current (4..20mA) and can be continuously signaled to the automation world. Even objects of differing thickness and size, such as brake blocks, can be detected and the signal can be processed. Simple, speed-dependent controls of ventilator motors or smoke removal systems indicate how wide the air ventilation flap is opened (e.g. 25, 50 or 75 percent) and thus save energy and protect and conserve the material.

	For applications such as final inspections with packaging systems, non-intrusive detection is necessary in order to guarantee a smooth interruption-free process and extremely low levels of rejects. Capacitive proximity switches feature the ideal properties for this task. The advantage: they can detect both metallic and non-metallic objects non-intrusively and free of wear. Non-metals can be detected – even through other mediums. Thus, empty packages are detected, sorted out and can be refilled in order to guarantee a consistent high-level of quality. Further typical examples are for example, detection of wooden palettes, plastic containers or even liquids in glass containers.

	Safety/position switches LS-Titan They are used wherever positions must be reliably detected. They are available either in robust metal or light plastic enclosure designs. Exchangeable operating heads enable flexible use for all applications. The highlight of the series, the LSE-Titan electronic safety/ position switches, connects mechanical safety/position switches to the world of automation. Positions can be continually detected and monitored with these switches.

	Safety/position switches LS...-ZBZ Safety/position switches for detection of safety-relevant facilities and equipment, e.g. doors, grilles or flaps. In addition to the standard safety switches, the range includes position switches with anti-tamper features for enhanced protection of personnel and processes, and only enable after a delay time. This ensures for example, that saws must come to a standstill or process stages must be completed before the machine, system or plant can be approached.

	Proximity switches LSI, LSC, LSO Modern automation engineering is practically unimaginable without the use of non-contact and non-invasive sensors. The speeds with which the processes are detected make the wear free and robust sensors indispensable. Even under harsh conditions such as use in heavily contaminated environments. Inductive, capacitive or optical: the right proximity switch for every situation enables optimum, fast and safe use.
