For compact servo drives
Yaskawa is expanding its portfolio of Sigma 7 servo systems with an additional safety card.

Thanks to extremely short reaction times and the absence of dead zones, safety light grids move even closer to the danger zone. Where safety, flexibility, simple wiring and fast commissioning are required, these light grids set standards in the segment of barrier-free safety solutions.

Safety networks for robot systems
Omron has launched new NX series safety network controllers that support two safety protocols: CIP Safety is used by industrial robot manufacturers, while Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE) offers a particularly short response time.
