ATOM is a compact and particularly robust, highly coded RFID interlocking switch with safety interlock for applications up to PLe (Cat. 4). The metal housing and the large holding force is particularly suitable for heavy industry. The self-centering actuator allows sufficient error tolerance in all directions of movement on swing or sliding doors. In addition, the open head construction made of stainless steel prevents dust, dirt or corrosion from impairing the function of ATOM. The ATOM safety interlock can also be used in applications with dangerous overrun of the machine. The OSSD outputs allow multiple switches to be connected in series without masking faults. The large LED under the switch clearly shows the operating status from all directions.

Signal lamps are used for status indication or as warning device everywhere in factories on machines, conveyors and installations. ifm’s innovative signal lamps offer several advantages over conventional signal lamps and are therefore suitable for demanding applications.

The signal lights are available in diameters of 35 mm and 55 mm and can be optionally equipped with a siren. These ideally complement the existing Kübler products and enable quick and easy signaling of the measured values in the traffic light colors green, yellow or red, and thanks to the preconfigured logic, they can be combined quickly and easily with the Kübler sensors and displays.

The ST40 signal tower with a diameter of 40 mm can be optionally equipped with a siren. The integrated IO-Link interface enables simple connection to an IO-Link network and the signal light can be used to signal the status of machines and systems both visually and acoustically.

Colour-coded signalling and high-quality lighting play an increasingly important role in providing simple and clear visualisation of machine states and processes. Bachofen supports you in selecting the most suitable solution. - Application-specific configurable colour indicators - Configuration via software or IO-Link - Clear signalling through well-designed concepts and good visibility in daylight - Vibration-resistant and durable; no protective housing required in harsh environments

Automatic lubrication - reduction in costs Using simalube pays off in many ways. Manual lubrication is no longer required. As a result of the time saving alone, costs are considerably reduced and manpower resources are freed up for profitable tasks in the value chain. With manual lubrication, bearings are usually over- or under-lubricated, which causes them to overheat (or dry up), resulting in mechanical failure and unplanned downtime. The simalube lubricator ensures reliable and even application of lubricant, resulting in less damage to bearings and longer machine operating times. The simalube closed system prevents any penetration of dirt. This extends the service life of the lubricated components and ensures reliable operation of the equipment. And last but not least, no lubrication points are overlooked or forgotten. Versatile use The dispenser can be used easily in all industry sectors. Water treatment plants, the automobile industry, chemical plants, foodstuffs manufacturers, underground mines and even hospitals and clinics trust in the Swiss lubricator. There is also a vast range of possible applications: conveyor belts, fans, motors, pumps, cooling and heating units, chains and guides are all reliably supplied with grease or oil by the Swiss lubricators. simalube works upside down and even under water. Its operating temperature range is from -20 °C to +55 °C.

The simalube IMPULSE connect is the latest generation of the pressure booster from the simalube family. The proven functions of the IMPULSE have been supplemented with the option of connecting the device to a smartphone via Bluetooth®. In connection with the newly developed «simatec world of maintenance» app, the devices can be easily configured and then monitored without having to be directly at the lubrication point. Information such as general status, fill level, lubricant, size, start and change date etc. is displayed to the user and easy to read in the app.

simatec ag is an independent, internationally operating family-owned company based in Wangen an der Aare, Switzerland, and has been managed by Mischa N. Wyssmann, the second generation of the family, since 2005. Since the company was founded in 1983, motivated employees have been developing and producing innovative products for the maintenance of rolling bearings. Globally renowned brand names such as simatherm, simatool, and simalube originate from simatec.

Reduce costs with simatherm Investing in a simatherm induction heater pays off in a number of ways. Within seconds, a roller bearing is gently heated to the required mounting temperature. This results in a huge saving in time, energy and money compared with previous heating methods such as oil baths, heating plates or ovens. A component is heated to the preselected temperature, where it is maintained using the keep-warm function, which means that it is never overheated and is ready for mounting at any time. A further advantage is that the temperature of the components is monitored using a temperature sensor and displayed on the unit. Fast heating possible The recommended heating temperature for mounting roller bearings is 110°C. With average bearing sizes, this temperature is reached after a matter of seconds, which saves both time and money. Besides heating bearings, however, simatherm units can also be used to heat other circular metal components such as gear wheels, flanges, bearing rings, pinions, etc. Temperature monitoring allows components to be warmed to a maximum of 250°C. Depending on the material and dimension of the components, they can even be heated to 400°C in time mode. Easy mounting The compression force required for mounting increases considerably as the bearing size increases. If the heat expansion of the metals is utilised, it is possible to mount bearings and other circular components on a shaft or in a housing without exerting any force. When heating a component, the simatherm unit remains cold and is therefore safe to touch. Plastic seals and lubricant also do not become hot. This also allows pre-lubricated bearings to be heated, which is a unique advantage of simatherm units. The grease is not damaged when the bearings are heated, and the latter can be mounted as soon as the preselected temperature is reached.
