The TouchSwitch is a mechanical pressure sensor without moving parts. It functions as a misalignment monitor for conveyors and elevators. 4B Touchswitch - side view, Touchswitch installed on elevator, Touchswitch detecting misaligned belt, Test button allows easy testing of Touchswitch

Metso HiSafe Systems At the end of 2012 Metso was launching several new products in the Metso Product Range. HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) is very important for us so we invest in possible solutions that are complementary with our conveying solutions. We develop safety solutions for conveyors and we reinforce solutions for dust That`s why we launch the next products: - Metso HiSafe Systems - Metso Belt Turning Systems - Metso Loading Systems - Metso Sealing Systems Metso HiSafe Systems Focus on safety around the conveyor, nip/pinch protection for moving parts, elimination of risks, no moving parts, preventing serious accidents - Metso HiSafe Roller Guard - Metso HiSafe Roller Guard Return - Metso HiSafe Head Pulley Guard (HPG) - Metso HiSafe Tail Pulley Guard (TPG) with a Rock Deflector Metso Belt Turning System (Used to keep both sides of the belt clean and to keep more grip on the drums) Metso Loading Systems - Metso Glide Block - Metso Chain Cradle -

for long duration checking For process applications that require earthing for more than 6 hours per day, there is a brand-new mains supply designed on 230V or 110V to power the monitoring circuit of each indicator station. The IECEx / ATEX certified Universal Power Supply can provide continuous power for up to 10 GRP monitoring-indicator stations simultaneously. The monitoring-indicator stations can be mounted in Zone 1/21 hazardous areas with the IS power supply located in a Zone 2/22 area or local Safe Area. Benefits: - provides monitored earthing of up to 10 items of plant equipment at risk of static charge accumulation. - Provides option of bonding equipment for processes that last 6 hours or longer, including processes that require continuous static earthing. - Highly visible LED mounted in indicator station ensuring operators know when low resistance connection is achieved with potentially charged equipment. - Tungsten carbide tips bite through product deposits, vessel/drum

Two sensors - one line Two signals, one line The patented 2:1 technology from Pepperl+Fuchs provides potential savings of 50% on sensor wiring in hazardous areas. Signals from NAMUR sensors can be transmitted in pairs to a control device via one line. Two digital sensors are wired anti-parallel to one strand pair that is connected to the switch amplifier. This device divides the signal again into two separate output channels and sends them to the output. The advantages A significant reduction in material, planning and installation costs for routing cables in hazardous areas A perfect application for system enhancements, when additional signals are to be routed via existing and possibly at-capacity field wiring A special synergy effect is created in combination with Pepperl+Fuchs’ double sensors for monitoring valve or rotary drive positions Pepperl+Fuchs also provides this technology in sensor and valve interface modules for fieldbus applications.
