It starts before the order
Three questions we ask alongside the part number, so the safety device suits the machine and the standard it has to meet.
Where does it run?
The guard, door, flap or grille it protects. Washdown, dust, vibration, tamper risk, and whether the device needs to be hidden.
What is it doing?
Interlocking, guard locking, emergency stop, enable or position. The performance level required, and whether you want diagnostics.
What if it is wrong?
An operator at risk, a defeated guard, an audit finding, a shift lost fault-finding, a line down now.
The Bernstein safety technologies
Guarding, guard locking and diagnostics, each solving a different way a machine defeats its own safety system.
Machine guarding solutions
Introducing Bernstein's safety hinge switch series, SHS and SHS3, both with integrated safety contact.
They replace the conventional load bearing hinge of a safety door, protective hoods and safety guards, and are hardly noticeable, making them more tamper-proof than a visible position switch.
Bernstein hinge switches are easy to install, with no actuator necessary. Get reliable operation with little risk of injury.

Contactless SMART safety sensors support the implementation of a safe smart factory.
SRF sensors monitor movable protective devices such as flaps, doors or grilles. They protect employees from injuries by switching off machines and systems if protective devices are not properly closed.
Diagnostic data is read into the machine control via IO-Link, or alternatively can be displayed on your smartphone via NFC.

When operations stop, how do you know which button was pushed? Downtimes can be shortened or completely avoided by the clearly visible LED on Bernstein's SEU e-stop. No more wasted time fault-finding.
And go further with simple drag-and-drop configuration software to help you set up an intelligent diagnostic system. No programming required.
You will receive comprehensive diagnostic data of all installed components of your safety system. Errors can be easily identified.
