Safety technology

Integrated, decentralised safety with very short response times: safe reactions that keep the process running instead of stopping the machine.

  • Safe I/O and SafeLOGIC controllers in X20 and X67
  • Safe motion functions built into the ACOPOS drive families
  • Safety programmed in software, not hardwired
  • Safe communication over openSAFETY across the network

From enquiry to a running machine.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Part numbers if you have them, or just the machine, the number of axes and the cycle rate.

  2. We size the system

    An automation engineer picks the controller, drives, motors, I/O and HMI, and checks they fit together.

  3. You get a quote

    A bill of materials with prices and lead times, plus engineering and commissioning if you want them.

  4. We stay on

    Commissioning at your site, and support for the people who run the machine across India.
