这个定制的安全灯窗帘系统解决了MIDACO Corporation的捏点，未对准和振动的挑战。结果是安全的机器，更多的正常运行时间以及托盘换码器的整体时间和成本节省。
建立关系 - 只是开始
Midaco Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of state-of-the-art pallet changers and supplemental items for CNC machining centers, has been using Pilz safety relays for their CE opportunities. After a few interactions, the Pilz sales representative, Pat Morrissey, wanted to look into other safety automation challenges that the Midaco Corporation was facing. “The light curtains we were using were leaving a gap which caused pinch points and we also had trouble with alignment with vibration,“ states Michael Cayley, Jr., VP of Manufacturing. “Since Pat had been very helpful to us in other areas, we approached him to see if Pilz had a solution.”
闪闪发光的机会
经过彻底了解情况后，解决方案变得清晰 - “我提供了利用Pilz Psenopt II灯罩的解决方案，因为在浅窗帘上没有发现死空间，这意味着Midaco Corporation将获得全部覆盖范围，而轻窗帘在处理振动，” OEM团队PILZ业务发展的Pat Morrissey说。“随着我们更多地参与机会，我们能够建议提供整个系统解决方案，其中包括Psenoptii，镜柱，电缆和紧凑的安全继电器。Midaco Corporation有不同类型的托盘换机机器，因此创建了两种不同的解决方案，提供了450毫米灯窗帘和600mm的浅色窗帘。”
Pilz psenoptii灯窗帘以其稳健性和防止，碰撞和振动以及没有死区的保护而闻名。这些与Psenopt II镜柱结合使用的灯窗帘提供了可调的基本单元，可提供对强大机械影响的额外保护，并使镜柱在不均匀的条件下进行调整，从而解决了所有MIDACO公司的挑战。
在审查和分析了Pilz提出的解决方案之后，Midaco Corporation开始在托盘换机机器上实施系统。他们现在正在为员工提供更安全的环境的好处，鉴于停机时间较少，并且轻松订购了轻窗帘系统。

In addition to adding light curtains on pallet changers in their own shop, Midaco is offering this guarding solution as an option on automatic pallet changers for their customers who require CE guarding internationally and per requests in the continental US. The pallet changer and light curtain added to vertical machining centers result in greater productivity, elevated safety, and increased output, allowing machine shop customers to quote jobs more competitively.
The relationship continues – with Pilz services
Pilz and Midaco Corporation continue to work together to solve other safety automation challenges. Pilz has also provided Midaco Corporation with Risk Assessments on specific equipment to ensure their applications are not only as safe as possible but are also in compliance with appropriate Standards and Directives. “Pat also suggested taking a look at the Pilz training portfolio for our engineering staff,” stated Mike, Jr. “Since we ship our products around the world and they need to be CE marked, we sent our Engineering Manager to the Pilz CECE training course to bring him up to a level so we could certify our machinery in house. A great time and cost savings.”
“Midaco Corporation has been a great customer to work with, and I look forward to working with them on their next safety application,” stated Pat.
