Our solutions for safe machine tools

• Lathes

  Lathes usually have numerous axes that need to be monitored. In addition, safety gates and safety mats require a high number of safe inputs and outputs, as well as a function for speed monitoring. Tool magazines and other machine peripherals must be integrated into the safety concept, as must automated feed systems (e.g. robots). The design of the safety concept also differs depending on the operating mode. As with other machine tools, flexible solutions are particularly important for this type of machine. It must also be noted that lathes sometimes require spindle drives that do not allow encoder mounting.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFELINE VARIO module is the perfect solution for monitoring lathes. With the possibility of monitoring up to 30 axes and the numerous option packages, it fulfils everything a lathe's heart desires. For spindle drives, the SAFEONE DN3PS2 module is suitable for standstill monitoring. As with all DINA modules, the parameterization of the safety module is kept simple and straightforward. A separate safety concept also allows adjustments to be made in the normal control section of the machine without having to carry out validation again. The DINA DNCP function also enables speed changeovers during operation.

• Milling machines

  Milling machines usually have a large number of axes that need to be monitored. In addition, safety gates and safety mats require a high number of safe inputs and outputs, as well as a function for speed monitoring. Tool magazines and other machine peripherals must be integrated into the safety concept, as must automated feed systems (e.g. robots). The design of the safety concept also differs depending on the operating mode. As with other machine tools, flexible solutions are particularly important for this type of machine. It must also be noted that milling machines sometimes require spindle drives that do not allow encoder mounting.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFELINE VARIO is considered one of the best safety solutions for milling machines due to its advanced features and reliable performance. The device is highly customizable, allowing it to be configured to meet the specific safety requirements of any milling machine. It also offers easy installation, operation, and maintenance, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution. Additionally, the SAFELINE VARIO is designed to comply with the latest safety standards, ensuring that milling machines are safe to use for both operators and maintenance personnel. Overall, the SAFELINE VARIO is an excellent safety solution for milling machines, providing peace of mind and protection for all involved.

• Drilling machines

  Drilling machines usually have very simple control systems that do not have integrated safety, or even the possibility of integrating some form of safety application into their control. This creates safety risks for the operator, for example when the machine spins out. There is a risk of injury should the operator come into contact with the escaping drill head. However, this danger can be countered in a very simple and uncomplicated way.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFEONE module DN3PS2 for standstill monitoring is perfectly suited for machines of this type. The device is easy to integrate, requires no external sensors and only little design effort. This saves space and material, with 100 % guaranteed safety for the machine operator.

• Sawing machines

  Sawing machines can be dangerous. Similar to drills, they usually have no more than a very basic control system, which does not allow for integrated safety. When the axes spin out, there is an acute risk of injury to the operator, and in addition, access to the machine/saw blade may have to be controlled via a door tumbler. However, there is also an ideal solution for this type of machine.

  DINA's solution

  The DINA Safeone module DN3PS2 for standstill monitoring fulfils all the necessary criteria for this type of machine. With the help of safe output contacts, the device can release access to the machine and monitor the movement of the axes. The device is very easy to install, hardly any design work is required and it is also extremely space-saving, as encoders are no longer necessary.

• Sanding machines

  Sanding machines have many axes that need to be monitored. In addition, safety gates and safety mats require a high number of safe inputs and outputs, as well as a function for speed monitoring. Tool magazines and other machine peripherals must be integrated into the safety concept, as must automated feed systems (e.g. robots). The design of the safety concept also differs depending on the operating mode. As with other machine tools, flexible solutions are particularly important for this type of machine in order to meet the specific requirements of the manufacturer. It must also be noted that milling machines sometimes require spindle drives that do not allow encoder mounting.

  DINA's solution

  The SAFEONE DN3PS2 module for standstill monitoring is suitable for sanding machines with spindle drives. As with all DINA modules, the parameterization of the safety module is kept simple and straightforward. A separate safety concept also allows adjustments to be made in the normal control section of the machine without having to carry out validation again.  The DINA DNCP function also enables speed changeovers during operation.

• Machining centres

  Machining centres are complex machines. They are often designed for a variety of applications and have to be converted within a very short time. In this industry, safety technology often hinders rather than contributes to the performance of the machine. However, there are solutions that ensure that machining centres can realise their full potential without compromising on safety.

  DINA's solution

  For machining centres, depending on the application, the SAFELINE VARIO system is suitable, with matching additional modules. The system not only covers all the necessary safety functions, but also brings with it some advantages that are particularly appreciated for Machining Centres. The flexibly oriented, modular safety solution can monitor all doors, emergency stop, enabling switches and the selection of operating modes. Thanks to the VARIO DESIGNER application software supplied, individual changes can be implemented quickly and easily.
