In times of a shortage of skilled workers, technical devices that can be installed in a time-saving manner and, if possible, without the need for highly qualified personnel, come into their own.

The new samosPRO COMPACT from Wieland Electric is a compact safety controller that offers all of the benefits associated with much larger and more complex products in a unit measuring only 45mm in width.

The rated current of Wieland Electric's complete gesis GST18 plug and connector system has been increased from 16A to 20A. This applies to all components and to the prefabricated cables with a conductor cross section of 2.5mm². This change has been made to comply with EN 61535:2010 installation plug connector standard.

Wieland Electric has increased its range of standstill monitors with the addition of the new SNS 4074K. The new device monitors the pulse frequency of sensors, such as inductive and magneto-resistive proximity switches and incremental encoders, safely switching off any dangerous movement when the limit frequency set on the safety module is exceeded. SNS Series standstill monitors measure only 22.5mm in width and are equipped with either pluggable screw terminals or spring terminals.

Wieland Electric has introduced samos NET, a new dedicated bus system that has been designed for use in conjunction with the company’s samos PRO to simplify the interconnection of machines and systems. samos PRO is a compact modular safety controller featuring multi-function base modules that can be interconnected, extending its safety functions module by module.

Surface mount technology has greatly improved PCB production speeds and component densities, but it does have its limitations. In particular the method is not suitable for the mounting of mechanically stressed components like PCB connectors, and manufacturers have to resort to traditional through hole techniques for these components. Now, Wieland has come up with a hybrid technique called ‘Through Hole Reflow’ that solves this problem at a stroke
