Safety system designed specifically for presses

Pilz Automation will display their new safety system designed for presses. With the new PNOZ m2p base unit, the Pilz multi-functional safety system PNOZmulti is now geared specifically toward the safety-related requirements surrounding press operations. PNOZmulti monitors all safety equipment on press brakes, eccentric presses, and hydraulic presses. Press upgrades also can be implemented economically using the safety system. All necessary safety and standard control functions are configured on the PC using the PNOZmulti Configurator, which is adjustable. Specific BG-approved press blocks are also available through the software. Users can configure monitoring operating modes such as set-up, single-stroke, and automatic mode, as well as monitoring safety light curtains in single-break or double-break mode. The same applies to monitoring a camshaft with run monitoring, plus E-STOP, two-hand control, safety gates, and foot switches.

In conjunction with expansion modules, it is possible to monitor standstill and speed as well as press safety valves. Users store their configured application on a chip card, which they then insert into the base unit. On small and medium-sized presses, the PNOZmulti safety system is simpler than previous solutions because the safety system undertakes complete control of the machine. With the PNOZmulti, Pilz offers a solution that complies with the standards and protects man and machine to a high level of safety, up to Category 4 in accordance with EN 954-1 or SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508.
