Leading the way in industrial safety: The advantages and applications of Bytorent Contactless switch

In the rapidly developing era of Industry 4.0, the continuous progress and innovation of technology have made various industrial automation equipment widely used. While these automation technologies have greatly improved enterprise productivity, they have also brought new security challenges. Especially in the issue of production equipment safety, mechanical equipment must have enough flexibility and adaptability to meet safety production standards to ensure the safe and stable operation of equipment.

How to ensure the safety of machinery?

Installing safety protection devices on mechanical equipment is an extremely important safety measure, which is not only to ensure the personal safety of the operator, but also to prevent accidents during the operation of the equipment. Enterprises should attach great importance to the safety protection of mechanical equipment in the production process to ensure that each equipment is equipped with complete protective devices, so as to provide a safe working environment for employees.

Safety devices commonly used in industrial machinery and equipment include safety relays, emergency stop buttons, protective covers, safety light curtains, safety fences, safety interlock switches, contactless switchand so on. These safety devices can play an important role at critical times, effectively reducing personal injury and property damage caused by improper operation or equipment failure. Take the Contactless switch as an example:

Contactless switch is an advanced industrial safety sensor, as a special detection device to monitor the safety state of mechanical equipment, without physical contact can also realize the switch control of mechanical equipment through induction technology. The Contactless switch is usually composed of a sensor detection head and an actuator (transponder), which is often used in the protection of access control, security fence, conveyor belt monitoring, robots and automation equipment. When it senses the preset trigger conditions, it will respond quickly and execute the corresponding switching action.

Benefits of Contactless switches

1. Safety monitoring and control: The Contactless switch can monitor the safety status of the equipment in real time to ensure that appropriate control measures can be taken immediately in the event of a dangerous situation to prevent safety accidents caused by equipment failure or personnel misoperation.

2. Improve safety: Because the Contactless switch can operate the switch without physical contact, it avoids the wear problem caused by frequent pressing of the traditional switch, and can also quickly cut off the power or air source in emergency situations, thereby protecting the safety of personnel and equipment and further improving the safety of the production environment.

3. Easy maintenance: The surface of the Contactless switch is not easy to be contaminated with dust and dirt, so it is more convenient to clean, which helps to keep the equipment clean and sanitary, and extend the service life of the equipment.

Designed specifically for compact applications, the Bytorent Shield-EN Door God series of contactless safety switches can be used to monitor a wide range of safety doors, safety Windows and action safety components. Designed from the top down according to relevant standards such as ISO13849 and GB/T16855, they fully meet functional safety requirements.

Bytorent Product features:

1. Rich product matrix: Bytorent Contactless switch models are complete, passive magnetic coding type, active magnetic coding type, RFID universal coding type, RFID independent coding type, etc. There are 16 models of the whole series of products, which have a wide range of applicability in various industrial scenarios.

2. High reliability: durable and not easy to wear, low failure rate, can provide long-term stable operation, to ensure that the continuous use of the equipment to maintain efficient operation and low maintenance costs.

3. Fast response: The use of high-visibility indicator changes, can quickly provide a wealth of fault diagnosis information, the proven dual-channel security monitoring circuit design further strengthen the sensor reflection lineup, to achieve high-precision stable detection.

4.360° rotating installation: The structure design is simple, the cable comes with easy installation and maintenance, and the active magnetic coding type supports omnidirectional 360° rotating installation to meet the needs of various installation angles and has strong flexibility.

5. Strong protection performance: The whole series of products have a protection grade of up to IP69K, with good waterproof and dustproof capabilities. It can not only effectively prevent dust intrusion, but also keep the interior dry under extreme conditions such as strong water flow and high pressure water mist to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

With such a high level of protection, the series of contactless switchcan cope with a variety of harsh environmental conditions including high temperature, low temperature, humidity, dust, salt spray corrosion, etc., maintain stable performance, reduce failure rate, and extend service life.

6. Wide temperature range: it can adapt to a wide temperature environment from -25℃~+90℃ (high temperature series), -25℃~+70℃ (active series), and has a wide range of applicability. Its detection performance remains excellent even under extreme temperature conditions.

7. High security: The EN series complies with the ISO 13849-1 PLe standard and the IEC 62061 SiL3 standard, ensuring the stable running of the system after installation. No regular inspection is required.

8. Compact size: with a unique miniaturized design, it can adapt to a more narrow installation environment and effectively save space.

9. Ultra-long distance detection: It can achieve accurate identification and detection of distant targets, and provide real-time and accurate information.

The maximum working distance of magnetic induction type is 13mm±2mm(ON- > OFF), 15mm±2mm(OFF- > ON).

The maximum working distance of the RFID sensor is 19mm±2mm(ON- > OFF), 15mm±2mm(OFF- > ON).
