Setting up access guarding with muting has never been
easier thanks to MLDSET
A
ccess guards for machines
and systems are often
complex systems with different individual components,
which must be individually assembled
and com-patible. This also requires
long installation and start-up processes.
“Leuze elec-tronic has developed
MLDSET protective sensor sets, which
are easy to install via Plug and Play with
or without the muting function”, explains
Markus Pollmeier of BEUMER, where the
efficient sets are used in palleting and
packaging systems.
“The special thing about the MLDSET
systems from Leuze electronic is that
all of the access guarding components
are pre-mounted for typical muting
applications in a practical way”, states
Markus Pollmeier, head of department
for palleting and pack-aging technology
at the BEUMER Group in Beckum. “This
saves a lot of time during installation as
well as during start-up on site”, states
Pollmeier happily.
He sees another advantage in that fact
that ready-made systems can also be
in-stalled extremely easily by technicians
that have not been specially trained –
world-wide. After all, the BEUMER group
is a company that operates all over the
world.
Typical areas of application for
BEUMER
The BEUMER Group is an internationally
leading manufacturer of intralogistics
in the areas of conveyor and loading
technology, palleting and packaging
technology and also sorting and
distribution systems. Together with
Crisplant a/s and Enexco Teknologies
India Limited, the company group has
around 4,000 employees in numerous
branches and is present in over 70
countries worldwide. Typical systems in
which the safety photoelectric sensor
sets from Leuze electronic are used are
high palletizers such as the BEUMER
paletpac® system, palletizing robots
in the BEUMER robotpac® series and
packaging systems such as the BEUMER
stretch hood®.
Those systems are individually customized
to the respective requirements, and take
the product properties of the individual
packaged goods into consideration as
well as the desired packaging patterns
and pallet sizes. Normally, these systems
are completely enclosed in safety
barriers. In “gaps” and open locations,
particularly for moving materials in an d
out, MLDSET systems are used with
light scanners as muting sensors for
unimpeded material transport.
