Scientific Technologies Inc. has grown to be a leading supplier of machine safeguarding products in the United States and is recognized throughout the world for its superior products and services.
STI products are used to keep people safe while automated factories produce a variety of complex and important products such as automobiles, computers, electronics, and food and beverages. STI safety products include safety light curtains, interlocks, relays, mats and sensors. Additionally, STI has maintained a tradition of innovation by successfully developing and applying a variety of sensing solutions for customers in the factory automation, defense and automated tollway markets.
 


STI provides seven Safety Light Curtain families to solve your optical guarding needs. From compact models designed for machine locations where space is tight, to larger, robust light curtains powerful enough to guard large perimeters. STI offers you a choice, because when it comes to automation safeguarding, one size does not fit all.

Safety contact strips are used on edges of guards and gates at possible crushing or shearing points.
Safety mats are designed for use in industrial environments where safety enhancement or zone detection is required. They are ideal for perimeter guarding around robots and other hazardous areas The mats are sensitive to both foot and vehicle traffic. Safety mats can be used individually or in groups.

STI Safety switches are designed to work together with hinged, sliding, or lift-off guards and barriers. When the guard is opened, the power supply to the machine is disconnected

Force-guided Relays contacts are force-guided/ mechanically-linked conforming to IEC 60947-1-1 as required for Safety-Related Control Systems

TouchStart™ capacitive palm switches for two hand control applications actuate with a soft touch. No physical pressure is required, and they are sensitive enough to work even when an operator is wearing gloves.

 The OS3100 OptoShield is an advanced scanning laser safety sensor with the ability to adapt to both irregular and changing hazardous area.  It introduces advancements over similar types of sensors by providing superior interface options and advanced diagnostic communications.

The interface innovations include EDM/MPCE monitoring so that the OptoShield is safely integrated into the control panel of the hazardous machinery.  The outputs of the OptoShield handle 625mA to activate the larger, widely used safety relays.

The OptoShield provides diagnostic communications never before available in safety scanners.  These include a two-digit numeric display, DeviceNet interface and standard LED status indicators.  The patented Individual Sector Indicators (ISI) identify where the safety zone is encroached without the need for an external computer display.  The ISIs glow red when an object enters the Safety Zone within the corresponding scanner sector.

The OptoShield features two zone sets which can be externally selected to monitor changing hazardous area.  This is achieved without additional external control units.  The OptoShield is an excellent choice for safeguarding hazardous work cells, transfer lines, robot stations, internal press monitoring, irregular shaped or changing areas and automated guided vehicles.
