Guardian Angels for your intralogistical machines: our industrial safety products and systems

• Conveyor systems

  Conveyor belts must fulfil various normative requirements in order to guarantee maximum safety. For example, EN 619 stipulates that all conveyor belts whose drive exceeds the maximum permissible speed by 50% require speed monitoring. Other hazards that can occur with conveyor belts are material jams and the slipping or falling of material. 

  DINA's solution

  The safety solutions that could be considered for this industry are just as diverse as the machines that can be assigned to the materials handling sector. Here are just two examples, but they could help in many applications:

  The speed monitoring module DN3PD2 can monitor the speed of the drive without external sensors. If the whole thing is supplemented with the standstill monitoring module DN3PS2, all requirements are fulfilled that prevent the conveyor belt from starting up accidentally.

  The sensorless DN3PR1 rotation direction module is also ideal for conveyor technology. In some machines and systems, this module ensures that moving parts do not fall down due to an incorrect direction of rotation of the conveyor belt and possibly injure employees.

• Storage and retrieval machines

  Storage and retrieval machines are a very diverse group of machines. Accordingly, the safety risks associated with this type of machine are also diverse. These include, for example, collisions, loss of load or electrical faults. 

  The usual safety standards apply to storage and retrieval machines. However, these are supplemented by DIN EN 1525, which specifies requirements for the safety of storage and retrieval machines.

  DINA's solution

  Due to the significant differences in storage and retrieval machines, it is difficult to find a general solution that works for every machine in this category. The SAFELINE VARIO safe small control unit would fit best into the system here. Due to its modularity and flexibility, SAFELINE VARIO can be ideally adapted to almost any stacker crane machine.

  For smaller stacker cranes that have to fulfil fewer safety functions, the modules of the SAFEONE series are also suitable. It is best to arrange a meeting directly with one of our safety experts for optimal advice.

• Automatic small parts storage system

  The greatest functional safety risks in automated small parts storage systems include collisions between vehicles or vehicles and people, fires and smoke development, and the failure of safety functions and control systems. The risk of power failures or other technical malfunctions can also pose a risk. Regular maintenance and monitoring of the safety systems is therefore essential.

  DINA's solution

  Automatic small parts storage systems are an extremely versatile type of machine, so every safety solution for automatic small parts storage systems must be individually adapted. For larger systems, the SAFELINE VARIO from DINA is definitely recommended. The automatic small parts control is a modular safety system that can be individually adapted to all circumstances.

  For smaller devices, or for monitoring only individual safety-relevant aspects (e.g. phase monitoring), DINA offers a wide range of standalone modules in the SAFEONE product series.

• Automatic high-bay storage systems

  The relevant safety risks in automated high-bay storage systems are, in particular, the risk of collisions, falls, entrapments, overloads and malfunctions of the control system or other components. The risk of electric shock and fire hazard must also be considered. The correct selection and installation of safety components as well as the implementation of safety measures are therefore crucial to minimise these risks and ensure the safety of people and property.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFELINE VARIO module in combination with any optional peripheral modules, depending on the required safety functions, offers the best safety solution for automated high-bay warehouses. SAFELINE VARIO is a modular, compact safety controller, assembled according to the application, which can monitor up to 30 axes.

  A more cost-effective solution would be the DNSR-2R2 emergency stop relay, which does not have nearly the range of functions as SAFELINE VARIO.  It only enables the machine to be switched off quickly and safely in an emergency by interrupting the power supply. 

  Other modules from the SAFEONE product range can also be a sufficient safety solution for smaller machines and systems.

• Sorting systems

  Sorting machines have a multitude of safety-related risks that need to be taken into account. Here, too, it is mainly collisions, jamming, exceeding speed or position limits and malfunctions in the control system that pose a potential hazard.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFELINE VARIO central module is the ideal solution for sorting machines. The module offers reliable and flexible safety and is also easy to install and configure. Depending on the specific trim saw in which the module is to be used, the safety solution can be expanded with up to 15 additional modules. It is a robust and durable solution that works reliably even with frequent use.

  For smaller machines, a standalone module from the SAFEONE product range is also an option for sorting technology, depending on the result of the risk assessment.

• End-of-line packaging systems

  End-of-line packaging machines are usually the last step in intralogistical processes. This includes cartoners, palletisers, etc. With this type of machine, there are mainly risks due to unforeseen machine movements and faulty sensors. A well-functioning safety solution is therefore indispensable. 

  DINA's solution

  As with most other intralogistics machines, a combination of SAFELINE VARIO and various additional modules is recommended, depending on the specific requirements of the machine.

  A more economical solution, which is particularly suitable for smaller machines, is the DN3PD2 speed monitoring module. In combination with the DNSR-2R2 emergency stop relay, this solution can also provide maximum safety.
