If one pin has moved by more than a tenth of a mil\u00adlimetre or is crooked, the affected power module is classed as an N.i.O. part (N.i.O = not in order).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe pressing process is also extreme: there is a servo press with tremen\u00addous power behind it \u2013 that\u2019s a chal\u00adlenge!\u201d, Andreas Stummer explains. At this point, safety tech\u00adnology again comes into play. Quite specif\u00adi\u00adcally, in this appli\u00adca\u00adtion it was nec\u00ades\u00adsary to exclude any haz\u00adards arising from the inte\u00adgrated 6\u2011axis robot, the servo press and a moving round\u00adtable. \u201cOur safety con\u00adcept stip\u00adu\u00adlated elec\u00adtrosen\u00adsi\u00adtive pro\u00adtec\u00adtive equip\u00adment in this case.

There was also the safety locking device PSEN\u00adm\u00adlock with inte\u00adgrated escape release, and the coded safety switches PSEN\u00adcode. According to Andreas Stummer, all these prod\u00aducts are cost-opti\u00admised and effec\u00adtive, while also meeting the require\u00adments of EN ISO 14119, and there\u00adfore pro\u00adtect against haz\u00adardous move\u00adments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, CTO Andreas Stummer puts in a nut\u00adshell the rea\u00adsons for the long years of coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion with Pilz: \u201cOn our plants, it is not simply a case of inte\u00adgrating a light bar\u00adrier or another safety com\u00adpo\u00adnent some\u00adwhere or other.
