HSB® Safety Bumpers
Bumpers are used for protecting against risks at shearing and crushing edges, for instance at machine guards, lifting tables, packaging machines, palletizing and depalletising systems, automated guided vehicles (AGV‘s), theatre stages and many others. All Safety Bumpers of series HSB® meet the requirements for safety components according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Description
The Haake HSB® Safety Bumper meets the requirements for automatic reset, since after removing the operating force, it will return by itself into the ON condition. If it is required to work with a manual reset, this has to be implemented according to DIN EN ISO13856-3 by the machine control system. Due to the positive break of the supply (current circuit is broken), a separate safety control unit is not required. Safety Bumper and control system together have to achieve the Performance Level that has been determined in the risk assessment.
Except for dimensions and shapes, the Safety Bumpers have a generally identical design. They contain the following components:
- Haake Safety Contact chain HSC® (opening N/C contacts)
- Carrier plate made of Al, MDF or steel for attaching the bumper at the component to be protected
- Double-insulated connection cables to the machine control system
- Coated PUR foam body, alternatively PUR foam body with protective hood
