Conveyor belt protection

Why is it so important to monitor the conveyor belt?

  • Protection against human and machine accidents through local and remote safety monitoring.
  • Reduce complex and expensive wiring through controllers and safety networking.
  • Ensure optimal product transport by monitoring speed, blockage and belt misalignment.

Conveyor belt protection

How to protect against accidents involving people and machines?

Safety devices such as rope switches and e-stops from ifm protect both operators and machines from potential hazards. Highly visible LEDs ensure an easy identification, while safety springs prevent a temperature drift of the rope.

How to reduce complex and expensive wiring?

Long distances of process and safety signals require expensive and complex wiring. AS-i and Safety at Work minimise installation time and ensure cost reduction by providing complete diagnostics for easy maintenance.

How to ensure continuous conveyor operation?

ifm belt misalignment switches detect belt movement immediately, preventing belt damage and product waste. Speed monitors measure the rotational speed in order to indicate possible blockages or slippage.
