We produce safety
Safe living, Safe working
The efforts of the Schmersal group have for many years been directed to producing products for safety at the workplace. From the most varied mechanical and electrosensitive switching devices, the largest range in the world of safety switching devices and safety switching systems for the protection of man and machine has come into being. In this new online-catalogue, the complete range is presented.
For about twenty years now, safety and productivity have no longer been mutually exclusive. Authorities and institutions have followed with great attention the integration of modern safety systems into the machines, thus supporting a free flow of production. The manufacturers of safety systems provide an important contribution to the organization of an humane working environment, in which the machine takes over heavy and monotonous work from the workers without making them subject to dangers and risks.
Motivated by the vision of a safe working environment, the development engineers of the Schmersal group are continuously producing new devices and systems for all sorts of application situations. We will focus on three lines of business: lift technology, automation technology and safety technology. Our large know-how, our innovative strength and our extensive program are the keywords of our leading position. New safety concepts require new system solutions and innovative principles of detection need to be integrated as well as using new methods of information transmission and evaluation. The growing volume of standards and directives on machine safety has also led to a change in the attitudes of manufacturers and users of machines.
Those are the challenges which the Schmersal group of companies has set itself, for today and the future, as partner of machine and plant manufacturers.
Schmersal develops and produces an extraordinary wide range of high quality switches and related control modules for safety applications - for the protection of man and machine; Additional product lines include switches for use in industrial automation, in explosive environments, and in the elevator industry.
In the "Safe Switching and Monitoring" section, you will find an extraordinary large program of safety-related switchgears for the position monitoring of guard doors and the non-contact protection of hazardous zones and danger points, as well as safety switching appliances for special applications.
In the "Safe Signal Processing" section, you will find safety relay modules for various safety technology applications (e.g. for emergency stop and guard door monitoring) as well as centralized programmable safety controllers and decentralized field bus systems, including a modular concept for safety functions control on small machines.
In the "Automation Technology" section, you will find switching appliances for the mechanical position detection in various fields of application as well as (safety) sensors with different operating principles; this section furthermore includes a comprehensive program of command and signaling devices.
The "Ex Switchgear" section includes switchgears which can be used, in accordance with the harmonized standards, in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres due to the presence of gas and dust. This line includes position switches, safety switches, and safety sensors with non-contact operating principle.
In the "Lift Switchgears" section, you will find switches for various elevator applications - in the shaft pit, the lift car and the machine room. These include floor and fine-adjustment switches, positive-break door contacts, position switches, magnetic reed switches, remote alarm systems, as well as the USP ultrasonic elevator positioning system.
