Safety First – Selecting the Right Position Sensors for Safety-Related Motion Control
POSITAL has introduced an inexpensive and flexible alternative for safety-critical motion control systems. When combined with functional safety PLCs, these devices are suitable for applications that are required to conform to Performance Level/ PL d, Cat. 3, according to ISO 13849.
Understanding Hazardous Environments and Their Risks
Hazardous environments are prevalent across various industries, presenting significant risks due to the presence of explosive materials, dangerous gasses, or other hazardous conditions.
Absolute Rotary Encoders Available with BiSS-C Interface
POSITAL’s magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with the BiSS-C interface. These products are available in a wide range of mechanical configurations include a 36mm…
Torque Measurement with Angle Sensors
As collaborative robots expand into manufacturing environments the issue of safe motion continues to be a concern. Current design approaches involve adding force sensors, torque sensors, and sometimes proximity sensors. These adders along with more complex software control algorithms mitigate most of the concerns and result in slower operation. Unfortunately, these additional sensors also add significant cost and complexity.
