At Automatica 2016, we presented a ground-breaking new development: “Ultrasonic safety”.
“Ultrasonic safety” is a new solution for safety-oriented detection of people and objects. Unaffected by dirt, ambient noise, air flow or moisture, it detects both people and objects in a wide variety of materials, regardless of shape, transparency and colour. This means that the system complies with the safety standard ISO 13849-1, Category 3 PL d. The special feature of the ultrasonic safety system is the teach-in function: this enables the device to learn the complete measuring environment, including the objects located in the detection field.
