What is a safety relay?
The safety relay is an essential element in the industrial environment. Activation of an emergency stop, crossing a light curtain... the relay will react quickly to prevent any accident. Its level of safety is guaranteed by advanced control techniques.
Two-stage operation for maximum safety
The safety relay fulfils two crucial missions:
- Continuous monitoring: It analyses in real time the technical signals emitted by your protection devices:
- - Safety and door switches
- - Safety mats with integrated sensors
- - Wired two-hand controls
- - Light curtains with detection technology
- Rapid reaction: As soon as a suspicious signal is detected, the relay quickly cuts the power supply to the machines concerned, reducing the risk of accidents.
Applications in all industrial sectors
Safety relays keep a watchful eye on automated production lines. Thanks to their sophisticated control systems, they ensure, for example:
- Ensure the safety of operators during assembly operations in car workshops
- Secure critical systems in power stations in the energy sector by monitoring automated systems
- Protect teams operating cranes and heavy machinery on building sites.
Why install a safety relay?
A safety relay is not just a piece of technical equipment, but an essential part of industrial safety.
These devices fit into your electrical cabinets and serve many purposes at once! They protect your employees, your equipment and provide you with legal protection.
For example, if someone wrongly enters a dangerous area on a production line, the relay will react immediately by cutting off the power supply.
Safety relays also reduce the risk of operating errors, which can easily happen in an industrial environment. Combine it with the appropriate circuit breaker to protect against overloads and short circuits.
Finally, Directive 2006/42/EC makes it compulsory to install reliable safety equipment . Complying with French and European legislation By installing a safety relay, you are ensuring legal protection that protects your liability in the event of an incident.
