Interruttori di posizione Ex e sensori magnetici Ex fino a -60 °C. Temperature sotto zero, umidità, atmosfere esplosive: nella tecnologia di processo le applicazioni per gli interruttori possono essere spesso definite estreme. La divisione steute Extreme ha sviluppato speciali serie di prodotti per tali condizioni, che comprendono interruttori e sensori magnetici per ambienti a rischio di esplosione, a temperature fino a -60 °C.

In Altenmarkt in Austria, Atomic skis are manufactured using the latest production methods – the factory is considered to be one of the leading firms in Austria for implementation of the Industry of Things. One innovation concerns the provision of components on assembly lines, mastered using a Wireless Kanban system which is fully integrated in the company-wide flow of information. Wireless switches from steute signalise the removal of components to the feedback control system by remote control.

In Altenmarkt in Pongau, sports goods manufacturer Atomic produces 400,000 pairs of skis per year – in 1,100 different variations. A special innovation recently implemented in the factory replenishes assembly lines with components via a mobile »Wireless Kanban« system. True to the motto of the »Industry of Things«, it is closely integrated in the company-wide flow of information. Wireless position switches from steute assume an essential role in the process.

Wireless means cable-free: with this motto in mind, Paus is fitting its Sky Worker PTK 27 crane series with special safety equipment. Wireless switching devices monitor the position of the crane hook and the extension status of the telescopic parts. The crane engineers have managed to develop a solution which is as reliable as it is affordable.

When switching devices no longer require power cables and can radio their signals out of their environment, the advantages can be considerable depending on the application in question. Wireless switches are beneficial wherever access in the plant following installation is restricted. The benefits of wireless switchgear technology are now increasingly appreciated in Ex zones as well. steute has a wide range of certified Wireless Ex switches for such applications.

A manufacturer of metal façade elements uses a hydraulic swing-folding machine for its metalwork controlled by a wireless safety foot switch. Doing away with a conventional cabled switch improves ergonomic comfort and increases the availability of the system because it cannot fail due to cable damage.

How do switches and sensors get their power and signals? In addition to the tried-and-tested cabled connections, process engineers are increasingly using cable-free, radio-controlled systems. Adaptation of this technology to the requirements of explosion protection has been a challenge for developers, but one which can now be considered met.
