RENO-TEC goes for safety network

RENO-TEC is a family business based in Troisdorf, Germany. Its prime area of expertise is combining classic machine building with modern innovation, thus allowing its customers a base to compete in a highly competitive industry.

After five successful years in the repairing, renovating and building of plastics conversion machines, RENO-TEC presents its first machine for high-quality, self-adhesive document bags, the RENObag GS 850.6 Servo.

Future-proof

The new RENObag GS 850.6 Servo has been designed with future-proof technology in mind using Omron’s DeviceNet safety-based controller, NE1A, and remote I/O, DST1-ID. These both support demands from the builders of new-generation machines for the highest availability and the flexibility to expand to meet future requirements.

No additional wiring necessary

“In highly complex machinery like our RENObag 850.6, the availability of a machine and the ease with which it can be expanded in the future are big issues for our customers,” says Edmund Mundorf, Managing Director RENO-TEC. “The Safety Network Controller is programmable and therefore no additional wiring to the cabinet is necessary in case we decide to expand the system.

Moreover, the decentralized I/O concept enabled us to radically reduce the safety-related hardware. An additional benefit of using a hybrid network system is that diagnosis for standard and safety functionality is now fully integrated in the machine control system.

The preventive maintenance function and the advanced monitoring of the safety system makes our machine highly reliable and reduces start-up time remarkably.”
