  • Mennekes Switched and Interlocked Receptacles

    Switched and Interlocked Receptacles

    MENNEKES switched and interlocked receptacles combine safety and durability in one pre-wired unit. A patented interlock mechanism prevents the switch from being turned “ON” unless the plug is fully inserted, and it stops removal unless the switch is in the “OFF” position. They feature a tough, thermoplastic NEMA 4X; 12 enclosure with poured-in-place gasketing and molded conduit drillpoints to stand up to chemicals and impact. Our full lineup of switched and interlocked receptacles includes IEC 60309-compliant and UL 1686 C1-type versions as well as our stainless steel SPEC series for demanding washdown environments.

TR Electronic

  • TR Electronic Solutions for Port Cranes Boom, Hoist, Trolley Control

    TR Electronic Solutions for Port Cranes Boom, Hoist & Trolley Control

    TR Electronic’s LE200 Laser Distance Sensor enhances port crane control by enabling contact-free measurement up to 240 meters with ±1 mm repeatability, critical for precise boom positioning in dynamic environments. Its 1 ms response time supports real-time closed-loop control for hoist and trolley systems. Environmental adaptability includes integrated heating for -30°C to +50°C operation and high-temperature diodes for 70°C ambient conditions, ensuring reliability in harsh maritime settings.

    The Wire Draw Encoder provides linear position tracking for hoist systems, with durability against contaminants and vibration, ensuring consistent feedback during cargo movement.

    Absolute Rotary Encoders (e.g., LE200 variants) offer multi-turn position retention without re-homing after power loss, vital for safety in crane operations. Modular interfaces (PROFINET, SSI) simplify integration into industrial automation systems.

  • TR Electronic Linear encoder certified for maritime applications.

    Linear encoder certified for maritime applications

    The LMR70 has been approved by DNV-GL for use in ships, offshore systems, high-speed and light boats. These measuring systems are suitable for direct installation in hydraulic cylinders. The housing is designed for up to 400 bar continuous pressure and can withstand pressure peaks of up to 600 bar. 

    The LMR70 is well suited for maritime special machine construction such as floating cranes, cable-laying ships or wind power plant maintenance ships as it provides reliability and reproducibility of the contactless recording of measured values with magnetostriction.

  • TR Electronic Absolute Rotary Encoder – Ship Azipod (Steering Control)

    Absolute Rotary Encoder – Ship Azipod (Steering Control)

    TR Electronic’s Absolute Rotary Encoders offer enhanced safety and reliability for ship steering systems through SIL3/PLe certification, ensuring compliance with stringent functional safety standards.

    Their ATEX-compliant designs withstand explosive atmospheres common in marine environments, while retaining absolute position data even during power outages, eliminating the need for re-homing.

    The encoders provide precise position tracking via optical/magnetic scanning, critical for accurate steering control.

    Modular configurations and multiple interface options (e.g., PROFIsafe, SSI) enable seamless integration into existing ship automation systems.

Leuze

  • Leuze Safety Laser Scanners

    Safety Laser Scanners

    Thanks to the configurable protective and warning fields, safety laser scanners can be used in a variety of ways for danger zone and access guarding. Their compact design makes them ideal both for stationary and for mobile applications.

    Our RSL 400 safety laser scanners are characterized by their performance, robustness and easy handling. Thanks to its high operating range of 8.25 m and a scanning angle of 270°, it can monitor even large areas.

    The series also includes models for integration via PROFIsafe/PROFINET interface and models with data output for the navigation of automated guided vehicles.

  • Leuze LBK Safe Radar System

    LBK Safe Radar System

    The world's first safe 3D radar system, LBK, was developed for the monitoring of hazardous areas in harsh industrial environments. It detects the bodies of persons and in doing so monitors the protected area for access and presence. Using the controller, up to 6 sensors can be combined.

    Advantages for you:

    Reliable operation, even under harsh ambient conditions with, e.g., dirt, dust, smoke, and light

    Flexible adaptation of the protected area to the application: determine the number and position of the sensors, configure the length and opening angle/width of the area.

    Static objects in the protective field are permissible and do not result in shutdown of the safety outputs

    Fast integration due to simple system design and controller with PROFIsafe or FSoE interface

  • Puls New 480W power supply for marine applications

    New 480W power supply for marine applications


    The CP20.245-R2 features the perfect electronical and mechanical design for the rough environmental conditions at sea and on the coast. The power supply is characterized by its high immunity to transients and voltage peaks as well as its robust aluminum housing. The device provides the full output power of 480W even with fluctuating ambient temperatures between -40°C and + 60°C. The extensive approval package includes Marine DNV, Marine ABS and ATEX, among others.

    High reliability thanks to integrated decoupling feature

    The built-in decoupling feature makes the CP20.245-R2 unique. An integrated decoupling MOSFET enables a safe 1 + 1 and n + 1 redundancy between the power supplies. This ensures the availability of all necessary systems in the event of a fault. The additional redundancy module that is normally required for this kind of setup can be omitted. The special plug-in connectors allow a replacement of the devices during operation, if the sequence described in the data sheet is adhered to.

    Proven industrial version is the basis

    The CP20.245-R2 is based on the proven industrial version of the CP20, which is used in thousands of applications worldwide. The high efficiency of 95.2% ensures low power losses and little waste heat. In addition, the 20% power reserve has been taken over from the basic version. The compact product width of 48mm could be retained despite the additional, application-specific features.

    The CP20.245-R2 is available from stock as a standard product.
