Safety Output products are crucial when designing a reliable safety system that requires redundancy and monitoring capabilities.
Today’s manufacturers are under pressure to be more flexible, reduce downtime, increase efficiency and, above all, keep personnel safe. These efforts are complicated by yet another requirement: the successful management of external influences. These factors are difficult to predict, and when their true effects become known, effective adaptation can be a challenge. Fortunately, the right machine safety technology can help companies reduce the impact of unforeseen events and keep productivity levels high. In this white paper, we’ll examine how this works, with a focus on key features of machine safety solutions provided by Omron.
When Kerry Foods set out to meet CAN/CSA Z434 for their palletizing robot cell, it turned to Omron. Our successful solution included:

There are 3 major types of machine guarding equipment:
Monitoring the position of a door or guard is a key element in machine safety. There are 3 major types of door switches:
A safety mat is a presence-sensing device used to safeguard an entire hazardous area. A mat is a simple, normally open switch and when specified minimum weight is applied to it the “switch” closes and sends a signal to the safety controller to stop the guarded machine. It is commonly used in robotic cells, assembly machinery, punches and presses among other applications.
A forcibly guided relay has a forced guided mechanism that prevents that normally open and normally closed contacts are closed simultaneously. This mechanical link between contact pairs is guaranteed over the whole lifetime. Thanks to this feature, it provides an easy way to design circuits with self- monitoring capabilities, according to international safety standards.
