According to the US National Safety Council, a worker is injured every seven seconds on the job. To help prevent workplace injuries, wireless emergency stop and machine stop solutions are one of the many tools used to enhance the safety of employees and equipment operators.
Cattron’s Safety Systems portfolio is a suite of safety-certified, wireless emergency stop and machine stop solutions.
The products featured in the portfolio enhance the safety of existing machines and e-stops and can be easily integrated into both new and existing systems. The portfolio also addresses a variety of customer compliance and/or certification requirements by offering a range of safety levels including SIL 3 and PL-d.
There are three primary products in Cattron’s Safety Systems portfolio:
