Numerous automation experts have shifted in the last few years from component manufacturers to solution providers. In order to visualise its own development in this direction, steute has changed its company name. Managing Director Marc Stanesby explains why this change was necessary and why customers can only profit from this increased skills set.

Digitalisation means that manufacturers of components are expanding their portfolio to provide their customers with systems and network solutions, which usually entails increased engineering effort. For steute, this changeover is clearly reflected in its new company name. In an interview with GIT SICHERHEIT, Managing Director Marc Stanesby explains the reasons behind the changeover.

The conditions for switchgear in the processing or manufacturing of powders, pellets and other bulk goods are often adverse: regulations for dust explosion protection often apply, while dust pollution is often so great that conventional switching devices would have severely limited lifetimes.

Machine safety in explosive environments: when switchgear is required for this combined application, two different – and complex – sets of rules and standards have to be complied with, both of which make high demands on the products in question. Even though this field is a “niche within a niche”, users still have diverse options regarding their choice of safety switchgear and sensors, including the position switches with a safety function in the Ex 97 and Ex 99 series.

Canada, Kamchatka, Barents Sea: exploration and extraction of oil and gas as raw energy sources are increasingly taking place in regions which are freezing cold. Electrotechnical components also have to cope with minus degrees in other areas of process engineering. Switchgear and sensors are now available for just such applications, suitable for explosive environments and temperatures down to -60°C.

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.

Manufacturers of valves in search of suitable switchgear for position monitoring have a choice to make. Different electromechanical switches are available, as well as different sensors. Some series are suitable for explosive environments or sub-zero temperatures, while more recent options include “Wireless” switchgear.
