Safety Systems

Integrating a safety system into your industrial automation applications can provide a safer workplace for your machinery and operatives, boost productivity with seamless, uninterrupted production, and reduce the overall environmental impact of your business operations by alerting your team to potential issues within the process. 

Alerting your operatives to safety issues doesn't always have to mean a full machine stop.  With smart safety technology from Sick, Siemens and Pilz; production will continue as intelligent safety equipment enables swifter response times to production critical issues. 

Contact our team to find out more about how Sick, Pilz or Siemens safety devices are beneficial to your application. Call us on +44 (0)1704 539 312, or send us an email to sales@axiscontrols.co.uk. 

Sick Flexi Soft programmable safety solutions 

Since 2010, Axis Controls have been specifying and integrating the Sick Flexi Soft programmable modular safety controller system within our electrical control panel solutions. This is our 'go-to' modular safety platform due to its' reliability and ease of use for end-users.

The controller can grow on a module by module basis as a given task evolves. With this in mind, our Flexi Soft applications can be perfectly adapted to different scenarios, saving effort and unnecessary expensive inputs. Expansion modules include; I/O, relays, motion, and communications.  The Sick Flexi Soft safety modules diagnostic interfaces and configuration facilities enable rapid commissioning, component replacement, and troubleshooting. 

Siemens PROFIsafe 

As a recognised Siemens systems integrator, Axis Controls can design tailored PLC based safety solutions that are suitable for any industrial or manufacturing process. When designing complex machinery applications, Siemens PROFIsafe often proves to be the most economical solution for your business.  Siemens PROFIsafe technology delivers new and innovative approaches to safe and efficient machines and systems, with safe I/O modules that are fully scalable and can be combined with other modules for diagnostic purposes. 

We use the very latest products from the Siemens automation platform, including S7-1500F safety PLCs, ET-200SpF distributed safety I/O networks, and the G120 series of variable speed drives with PROFIsafe functionality as standard. 

Axis Controls have safety application engineers who would be happy to discuss any requirements or projects you may have.

Pilz Safety 

Axis Controls use standalone Pilz safety relays in most of our standard control panel designs, delivering certified safety.  Pilz PNOZ safety relays monitor safety functions throughout your industrial applications; such as E-Stop, safety gates, light barriers, light grids, two-hand controls, pressure sensors, and so much more! 

With our experience of practical safety systems, using a large range of Pilz safety products, we can design the right solution for your machine safety application.
