FANUC will take robotic
safety a further leap
into the future at the
show. A collaborative
robot, designed for
working safely with
human
colleagues,
will
be
challenged
to work alongside a
caged cell containing a
conventional robot.
In the conventional
cell which is open on
two sides, FANUC’s
Dual Check Safety
(DCS)
technology
is combined with a
safety scanner and
safety camera. The
robot slows down to a
safe speed as humans approach the cell, but will only stop when
a hand moves into the cell itself, allowing maximum productivity.
When a human intruder penetrates the safety system, the robot
in the cell will likewise react if the CR35iA 35kg collaborative robot
gets too close.

adi Automation, a Company within the
adi Group, have recently completed an S88
compliant Batch project for Mondelez at
their DAIM factory in Sweden. DAIM is an
international brand for which demand has
increased considerably over the years.
The replacement of an ageing control system
gave Mondelez an opportunity to re-assess
the benefits of delivering a standard model
approach. This will be replicated elsewhere
across the Group but is already yielding
benefits at the tockholm factory
t ill see furt her benefits as the merging of
compliant batch data is combined with product
rack and race capability through to finished
product.

New Standalone Measurement Solution
Reduces Cost of ISO 8573 Oil Vapour
Monitoring for Compressed Air & Gases
T
he recent update to add a
touchscreen interface to the
i
oil vapour
sensor has now been
further enhanced with the addition
of an integral
million unit data
logger function to produce a complete
standalone monitoring solution for oil
vapour sensing in accordance with ISO
8573.

class , the device offers simple
control through the 5” touchscreen
display with graphical readout of oil
concentration over time and is ideal
for periodic audits or permanent
installation. The innovative design
using a high accuracy PID sensor has
reduced production costs considerably
compared to other methods and this
re ects in the highly competitive price
point for this unit.
vailable for portable or fi ed
monitoring, the compact size of the
unit in con unction ith the
mm uick connect inlet simplifies
installation and the commissioning
is very quick due to the easy to use
touchscreen controls.

interfaces easily ith
existing plant systems with
communication options including
4-20mA, SDI, RS485, Modbus/RTU and
relay outputs in addition to the USB
output for the logged data.
Calibration can be achieved simply and
cost effectively by the user through
the supply of pre-calibrated exchange
sensors that are easy to swap and
remove the need for the whole unit
to be disconnected and returned. This
saves time and where monitoring
needs to be continuous, the need for
a complete standby unit to replace the
original while away being calibrated.
