Category A - Safe Automation

Winner
Keyence: GL-R Light Curtain
Guarded Safety Light Curtain
The GL-R safety light curtains are rugged: The design - a 3 mm thick extruded aluminum body with a narrow, 9 mm wide recessed lens surface - completely guards the light curtain from impact. In addition new wiring systems save time and trouble by simplifying installation. So the one-line wiring system allows the transmitter to be connected in series directly to the receiver for power and synchronization purposes. This simplifies wiring to a single cable, greatly reducing installation time and the potential for mis-wiring. The GL-R Series also includes new smart features, like edge to-edge detection, series connection, built-in muting and blanking, highly visible indicators, quick disconnect cable options, and monitoring software.

2nd Place
ABB Stotz-Kontakt: Eden AS-i
A Non-contact Safety Sensor
The non-contact safety sensor Eden AS-i is now adapted for direct attachment to the AS-i bus. It is suitable for use on interlocked doors, hatches etc. and consists of two complementary parts called: Adam and Eva. The sensor is only activated, if the door or hatch is closed and Adam and Eva are within the sensing distance. A failure will directly lead to a stop signal. Each Eden sensor is individually coded which makes it secure against manipulation.
