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.

One movement of the foot: this is all that is required in order to start a casting or bending machine, or to perform a trial stroke with a press brake. Foot switches frequently represent a key element of the human-machine interface. Their appearance might have changed little, but they contain technical innovations providing considerable improved functionality and ergonomic comfort.

In casting and forming plants, a foot control is an important element of the human-machine interface – also and especially regarding the triggering of safety-related functions. Now wireless safety foot controls are available for this task, providing users with improved ergonomic comfort and greater freedom of movement.

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.

Subzero temperatures, humidity, explosive atmospheres: in process engineering the conditions for switchgear applications can often rightly be described as extreme. The steute Extreme business unit has developed special ranges for just such conditions. They include standard position switches and magnetic sensors for explosive environments in temperatures down to -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.

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.
