Pilz keeps safety and production on the boil at Vaillant
At the tank-making factory of heating technology specialist Vaillant in Bergheim, Pilz's consultancy services have culminated in what Pilz calls "An exceptional safety solution". To keep an individual positioner's loading and unloading area free from obstructive superstructures, the transmitters of Pilz PSENopt II light curtains have been embedded horizontally in the floor, with the receivers mounted on a steel structure above the machine. As a result, two of Vaillant's older production lines can now be kept in safe operation for the coming years, and operated in full compliance with the required safety standards.
