Safety systems are put to the test
Pilz has developed a structured method for inspecting the safety-critical elements of plant and machinery to enable the suitability of the safety measures to be validated.
Courses cover safety standards and products
Having sold out many of its training courses during the first half of the year, Pilz Automation Technology has now published its course timetable for July to December 2008.
Mayr Systems has many years of expertise in the field of control technology for drives, as well as ample application knowledge and innovative products.
Pilz's objective is for 'intelligent dovetailing' of safety technology and control technology, including motion control.
"Both parties benefit by integrating this division into our organisation", explained Renate Pilz, Managing Partner of Pilz and Co KG.
"On the one hand, it guarantees the continuity and ongoing development of proven product ranges such as Primo, and on the other hand, we can provide users with automation solutions that include motion control".
Mayr Systems Division and its 24 staff will remain in Allgau and will be managed as a competency centre for motion control under the Pilz name.
In addition, the proven product Primo, Tendo DD and Tendo AC product ranges will continue to be developed and serviced.
Primo motion control systems were developed specifically for the type of complex motion sequences typically found within the packaging industry.
Modular control systems, which include the Tendo DD digital servo-controller and the Tendo AC servomotors, are used to synchronise axes as part of each cycle.
Automation systems are therefore available for the widest range of tasks - from filling, wrapping or sticking, and beyond packaging to applications, such as flying-shears.
As a medium-term objective, Pilz will merge these products with safe control technology.
"This way we can offer our customers even more tailor-made solutions for safety and control technology", said Pilz.
