Reduce the complexity of the safety systems on your packaging machines
Large packaging machines and lines often have many types of safety sensors wired in a series. While this typically saves on safety-rated inputs, it can also be the cause of unnecessary downtime and lost production if one of them fails. Finding which switch is at fault can be time consuming. Recently, SICK introduced the Flexi Loop to solve this problem. Flexi Loop is a safe sensor cascading system that streamlines the complexity of your safeguarding system. Safety expert and National Product Manager Ian Brough will discuss this new system, and explain how to revolutionize the way you design and implement access door safeguarding. His presentation will illustrate how this new solution increases safety, lowers installation costs and provides better diagnostic and troubleshooting capability, ensuring a simpler safety solution.
