”Why should I care, let alone spend $400” - Tom, 42 - Beverage Wrangler, Portland Bottling Co.
Well, Tom. Two words, FUNCTIONAL SAFETY! Weidmuller's force-guided relays provide synchronous switching at both contacts ensuring the signaling contact maintains the same switching status in the event of an error. (No simultaneous conditions!)
“Yeah, I still don’t care…”
Tom, I hear what you are saying. What does this all mean to you…so, let my touch on that. I drive by your loading dock every weekday morning around 7:15am. You have been up since the wee hours loading and unloading palette after palette of tasty beverages. I’m in my Subaru blasting some tunes to get pumped for the day, Perhaps, I am sipping some coffee as I pass. I barely notice that your loading doors are open, and I most certainly cannot hear the courtesy honk that all certified, well-seasoned, all-pro forklift surgeons like yourself give as a warning to passersby. I have no way of knowing that a heavy motorized object, lifting another heavy object is moving into my thoroughfare with all the mass and inertia of a rogue black hole. Except! For our sakes, a capacitive sensor is tripped sending a little blast of voltage to a waiting relay that closes a circuit attached to lifesaving safety equipment - light curtains. The light curtains flash on, thus, alerting me that something may be barreling toward me! My head snaps toward the doorway of the now lit loading dock. I have seen the light, and now I see you, Tom! I slow my roll and let you pass. We wave and part as friends. Two lives and hundreds of premium beverages are saved because of the action of a reliable, FG relay, and you, Tom. FUNCTIONAL SAFETY.
“Take my money!”
I will, Tom. See you tomorrow, and maybe we will have a little less drama this time. For my Ted Talk, please see my youtube channel.
Suggested usage for FG Relays: light curtains, interlock and e-stop switches, and other critical safety circuits that require synchronous signaling contact.
