Wieland Electric's Multipole Connector Configurator provides fast product access

Wieland Electric has developed its Multipole Connector Configurator to replace time consuming catalogue searches for those wishing to access the 1500 individual components in the revos range. Wieland's revos is a range of industrial multi-pole connectors which have been designed to provide the installer with a quick and easy solution for the installation of machines and systems.

Simple to use, revos Configurator guides the user through the selection of male and female inserts, hoods and housings, all in technically feasible combinations, making it easy to create application-specific connectors. Search and selection filters are based on technical parameters such as termination technology, pole configuration, current, voltage and conductor size, making incorrect configurations impossible.

Unique features and Enhanced Safety with Wieland's Emergency Stop Pushbuttons

The SNH Series from Wieland Electric is a modular system that can be perfectly adapted to the needs of the machinery manufacturer, with a range of eight operator elements that can be combined with 12 different contact blocks. In addition to the modular components, Wieland supply a number of completely assembled emergency stop pushbuttons for the most common applications.

For increased safety, Wieland's SNH Series of Emergency Stop Pushbuttons incorporate a unique contact block drop-off feature offering a signal output should failure occur if the contact block becomes dislodged due to vibration. This has an additional NO contact in series (pre-installed) to the main contacts, the NO contact opening as soon as the contact block falls off, thus interrupting the safety circuit and putting the machine into a safe position. An illuminated Stop Button also provides enhanced safety for the machine user.

Safety seminars from Leuze

Reforms and changes in the world of standards place new requirements on the construction of machines and controls. But they are also currently a source of uncertainty among mechanical engineers, plant manufacturers and users. These appear to be the reasons why Leuze electronic's safety seminars and standards workshops are always filled to capacity. The interest of the participants is great, and the willingness to partake in discussions is high. This applies not only to the safety seminars, but also, in particular, to the workshops both on the current changes to standards as well on the Safety Engineering Software, Safexpert. And it applies to all event venues, which are spread across all of Germany.
