Injection moulding specialist Waldorf Technik is headquartered in Hegau, Germany, and employs around 150 people. The company specializes in the development and construction of customized automation solutions for the disassembly and further processing of injection moulded parts, especially in the fields of medical technology and healthcare. The company, which is part of the HAHN Group, manufactures pipette tips, petri dishes, reaction vessels, blood collection tubes and cuvettes.
Waldorf Technik's core competency is modular, efficient and productive automation solutions that are fully tailored to the customer's requirements and offer maximum safety. The CE mark is essential for these modular machines: it proves that the equipment as a whole complies with the health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Waldorf entrusts Pilz with the implementation of normative, rigorous risk assessment and validation procedures: As a service specialist, Pilz is responsible for the entire conformity procedure.
Every interface is under safe control
The initial situation was tricky, and Waldorf Technik's production plant presented many potential hazards in a variety of smart and connected plant modules. The company is obliged to assess the risks and implement risk mitigation measures for each interface. There is also a particular challenge: third-party interfaces need to be compatible and tested.
Waldorf Technik worked with the safety automation specialist Pilz, who explained the entire conformity assessment process and gave comprehensive advice, which saved a lot of time. In the end, Pilz took care of all the assessment procedures, from risk assessment to validation, as well as the CE marking of the plant.
Whether in the design phase, during operation, or in retrofitting machines: Manufacturers and users need to detect and eliminate potential safety risks to people and machines at an early stage. Pilz offers comprehensive safety services throughout the entire life cycle of the machine that can be tailored to the customer's needs.

Peel magnetic relays – what are the ways in which the contacts of relays are used?
There are 3 basic forms of relay contacts:
(1) The two contacts are disconnected when the dynamic type (normally open, H-type) coil is not energized, and the two contacts are closed after the energizing is applied. It is represented by the pinyin prefix "H" of the word "合".
(2) Dynamic breaking type (normally closed, D-type) coil is not energized when the two contacts ...

Peel magnetic relay - the selection principle of electromagnetic relays
1. Selection of relay coil application power supply
Under normal circumstances, most of the relays of direct current are selected in the circuit design, and the types of power supplies used in relays can also be considered according to the characteristics of the control circuit. Secondly, it is necessary to think about the power consumed by the relay, and assume that the relay coil is supplied ...
