Customized safety light curtain system solves Midaco Corporation’s challengs of pinchpoints, misalignments and vibration. Results are safe machines, more up time and overall time and cost savings for their pallet changers.
Building relationships - just the start
Midaco Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of state-of-the-art pallet changers and supplemental items for CNC machining centers, has been using Pilz safety relays for their CE opportunities. After a few interactions, thePilzsales representative, Pat Morrissey, wanted to look into other safety automation challenges that the Midaco Corporation was facing. “The light curtains we were using were leaving a差距造成压力点,我们也勇敢ble with alignment with vibration,“ states Michael Cayley, Jr., VP of Manufacturing.“Since Pat had been very helpful to us in other areas, we approached him to see if Pilz had a solution.”
闪闪发光的机会
经过彻底了解情况后，解决方案变得清晰 - “我提供了利用Pilz Psenopt II灯窗帘的解决方案，因为在浅窗帘上没有发现死空间，这意味着MIDACO Corporation将获得全部覆盖范围，而光窗帘确实很棒在处理振动时，OEM团队PILZ业务发展中的Pat Morrissey说。“随着我们更多地参与机会，我们能够建议提供整个系统解决方案，其中包括PSEnoptii，镜柱，电缆和紧凑的安全继电器。Midaco Corporation有不同类型的托盘换机机器，因此创建了两种不同的解决方案，提供了450毫米灯窗帘和600mm的轻窗帘。”
The Pilz PSENoptII light curtains are known for their robustness and protection against shock, collision and vibration as well as an absence of dead zones. These light curtains used in conjunction with PSENopt II mirror columns, provide an adjustable base unit that offers additional protection against strong mechanical impact and enables the mirror column to be adjusted in uneven conditions – thus solving all of Midaco Corporations challenges.
After reviewing and analyzing the solution presented by Pilz, Midaco Corporation began implementing the systems on their pallet changing machines. They are now reaping the benefits of a safer environment for employees, higher production in view of much less down time, and easy ordering of the light curtain systems.
除了在自己的商店中添加托盘更换器上的浅色窗帘外，Midaco还为他们的客户提供了自动托盘换挡者的选择，他们需要在美国大陆上进行国际守卫和根据美国大陆的要求。托盘换窗和灯罩添加到垂直加工中心中，可以提高生产率，更高的安全性和增加的产量，从而使机械车间的客户能够更具竞争力地报价工作。
The relationship continues – with Pilz services
Pilz和Midaco Corporation继续共同努力解决其他安全自动化挑战。Pilz还为Midaco Corporation提供了有关特定设备的风险评估，以确保其申请不仅安全，而且还符合适当的标准和指令。小迈克（Mike）说：“帕特（Pat）还建议看一下我们的工程人员的PILZ培训产品组合，因为我们在世界各地运送我们的产品，并且需要标记为CE，因此我们将工程经理派往Pilz Cece培训当然，将他提升到一个水平，以便我们可以在室内证明我们的机械。美好的时光和成本节省。”
“Midaco Corporation has been a great customer to work with, and I look forward working with them on their next safety application,” stated Pat.
