Laying steel dock boards in half the time with the help of industrial remote control

International Marketing Team — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 14:55:38 +0000

An easy job with the help of �Ӱ�ר�� Radio remote control

It is Jurgen Knoop’s daily job to lay steel dock boards. In the past the laying of a full truck of dock boards took quite some time, now it can be done in half the time. Thanks to the industrial remote control of �Ӱ�ר�� Radio.

Transport company Derks in Bemmel is specialized in earthmoving, exceptional transport and through Derks Dock Boards in the rental and laying dock boards. Jurgen Knoop is driver on one of the trucks.

“We are laying dock boards for all kinds of purposes like festivals and events for example the Four Days Marches in Nijmegen, along the side of a road when a truck has fallen over, on construction sites and also a lot in clay pits. With our dump trucks we daily drive clay to stone factories.”

GINAF WITH PALFINGER AND TELE RADIO
For the dock boards transport is Jurgen the regular driver on a five-axle Ginaf with Palfinger loader crane. “In the past the laying of a full load of dock boards was quite a job. But since I use the �Ӱ�ר�� Radio remote control it is done in half the time. With the �Ӱ�ר�� Radio remote control I can drive the truck while sitting on the loader crane. That saves time as I don’t have to get off and on the loader crane for moving the truck.”��The Ginaf was equipped with the �Ӱ�ר�� Radio remote control one and a half year ago. Before that, Jurgen had another remote control system. “This system had interference near other systems and was unreliable due to this. Very irritating and dangerous. Our oldest truck was equipped with pedals on the loader crane for moving the truck. Fine in itself but, as it was a wired control, the cable was regularly broken which caused malfunctions.”

PRECISE AND RELIABLE
Jurgen is very positive about the �Ӱ�ר�� Radio remote control. “Truck dealer Van Ginkel did the installation. It works smoothly, interference free, very precise and absolutely reliable. From any location I can move the truck, sitting on the loader crane, but also standing next to the truck. Besides the system is robust and 100% safe.” Jurgen shows that the casing is stupid proof and that the system exactly does what he wants. Moving can be done to a single centimetre. When Jurgen releases the joystick, the truck stops immediately.��Jurgen shows that he can drive forwards and backwards with the remote control, can steer and accelerate from a slope. The maximum speed is 5 km/h. Driving is only done in first gear. “When I laid a couple of dock boards and I need to move the truck, I grab the remote control and can see the front of my truck on a screen that is on my loader crane.” There are no sensors on the Ginaf truck. This is done on purpose. “Often we have to move through narrow spaces. Sensors limit the possibilities.”

TELE RADIO REMOTE CONTROL; SAFE AND ROBUST
The Swedish company �Ӱ�ר�� Radio is expert in the field of wireless remote controls. You can find the systems in lots of industries and for lots of applications. The remote controls excel in ease of use, safeness and robustness. They meet the highest safety standards and are independently certified. The transmitters can take a punch. Therefor they are perfect for use in construction and transport. The control is very intuitive.

Ergonomically remote

International Marketing Team — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 11:15:03 +0000

The term ergonomics comes from the Greek words “��ǲ�” (work) and “nomos” (law). Put simply, ergonomics is the science of designing the working environment such that people can work safely, efficiently and comfortably. This design discipline also takes into account the sensory interactions between the workplace and workers. For example, although colours can make the workplace restful, they can also serve as a warning; noise should not be too loud – and certainly should last no longer than necessary; and no worker should be expected to perform an excessively heavy or prolonged duty.

With this in mind, ergonomics are fundamental to our wireless remote controls. In the first place, the wireless functionality of these devices is itself an intrinsically ergonomic aspect. It enables the user to operate a crane or other machine at a safe distance, in a convenient manner, and with minimum risk to their health. Moreover, due to the absence of a cable, the operator can work from a position that gives offers the best overview of the situation – and this also contributes to overall safety and efficiency.

Sturdy and intuitive

Of course, our engineers have given maximum attention to ergonomics in the design of our remote control units. For example, these sturdy units are designed to be easy to grip, which means fewer interruptions due to tired or strained hands, fingers and arms. In addition, the surface is pleasant and smooth to the touch, and yet tacky enough to ensure a positive grip. This is true of our handheld units as well as our bellybox remote controllers with joystick.

Moreover, the layout and function of the buttons can be specified with maximum flexibility, and we can fully customise the programming of each remote control, so that users can perform their work intuitively, safely and efficiently. Operating machines remotely has never been so easy and safe. The buttons also provide a two-step tactile feedback. Pressing until the first tactile click means “starts device”; pressing further – until the second click – means “increase speed” (depending on function).

Don’t hesitate to come and see, feel and hear for yourself, or ask for a test version. We offer our support with choosing the right product and options, and we can even show you some possibilities that you might not – yet – be aware of!

Certified stop button makes wireless remote an excellent fit for the Pilz application

International Marketing Team — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 11:36:00 +0000

The company Pilz in Vianen is one of the forty subsidiaries of the German mother company of the same name. As an international total supplier in the field of (safe) automation technology, Pilz creates complete solutions. The company’s experienced engineers carefully tune it to the specific application and consider every possible component; from sensors and operation to actuators, supplemented with software tools, diagnosis and visualisation systems.

Safety as a core competence

Due to their focus on safety, Pilz’s solutions can be found in a broad range of applications. In infrastructure (bridges and locks) and industry, for example, as well as food, pharma, and rail. The company solves automation issues and is skilful in the realisation of safety features in accordance with applicable legislation and regulations. Moreover, the enthusiastic employees are highly innovative, which led – amongst other things- to the development of certified operational software for bridge objects.

Remote bridge operation

In 2017, a customer asked Pilz to develop one standard control system – including software and documentation – suitable for operating different types of bridges. The underlying thought was that a universal remote with a standard control solution and software would simplify maintenance, which would result in lower costs. Moreover, employees would only need to familiarise themselves with one control mode, which would make it easier to deploy them at different locations.

One of the requirements was a wireless remote to locally control bridges. This not only includes opening and closing the bridge, but also safely controlling traffic through traffic and shipping signals, and mechanical barriers.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio provides radio-controlled set

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio, which – like Pilz – always goes for maximum quality, has also been thinking about the best solution from the very start. They immediately provided a remote control that adheres to the requirements concerning – amongst other things – certification, robustness and ergonomics.

The radio-controlled set was first tested in a special testing environment at Pilz, where the bridge control was set up to simulate the maximum configuration possible. In this critical environment, the remote control was evaluated for usability and it was assessed how it could best communicate with Pilz’s PLC.

Final solution

The radio control that was ultimately chosen is robust, for practical use at all locations. The range of the radio signal is configurable and the remote control has a certified stop button (SIL3 /PLe) and fault indication. The LEDs alongside the buttons automatically guide the operator through the correct order of steps when opening or closing the bridge. Ergonomic and maximum safety.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio expands by opening a new subsidiary in Russia

International Marketing Team — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 13:05:35 +0000

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio’s global reach and large distribution networks of its own subsidiaries and partners are further strengthened by the establishment of a subsidiary in Russia. The Russian market for industrial radio control is deemed to have great development potential where the company’s innovative solutions combined with local presence create great opportunities.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio operates globally and delivers industrial radio control to customers in the industrial, mobile and mining markets, all with high demands on functionality and security. The Russian economy is strongly characterized by industry, including machine manufacturing, mines and forestry. Industrial production’s share of GDP in 2018 was approximately 32 percent, corresponding to USD 528 billion. �Ӱ�ר�� Radio believes that the Russian market has good growth potential, partly due to continued economic growth, but also as customers become more sophisticated through increasing efficiency in the industry. which contributes to good demand for radio control.

Operations in Russia include the CIS countries* and will be led by Karl Norman. He has a solid experience of the Russian market where he has worked and lived for over 15 years.

Karl Norman, CEO of �Ӱ�ר�� Radio Russia / CIS:

“I am very proud to have been given the confidence to start up and lead �Ӱ�ר�� Radio’s operations in Russia and the CIS countries.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio Opens in Brazil, Names Managing Director

Spain Marketing — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 16:46:04 +0000

[Press release]

Remote control manufacturer �Ӱ�ר�� Radio has opened a new facility in São Paulo, Brazil in response to ongoing demand from the region.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio Brazil will become one of 16 global operations but, as a subsidiary of the U.S. company, it is the first to serve as a branch of a regional operation. The new site will be located in Itupeva, São Paulo strategically positioned close to Viracopos / Campinas International Airport and major transport networks.

The company has named Laercio Neves managing director of the operation. He brings 18 years of experience in sales management to the role, working for multinational companies that operate in Brazil. Neves speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and already boasts a thorough knowledge of industrial automation and remote control systems. An electronic engineer, he has a degree in maintenance management and an MBA in business management.

Neves, who will be joined by sales, technical support and administration staff in due course, said: “I am very excited to be part of the �Ӱ�ר�� Radio family and I believe the Brazil operation will soon become the chosen provider of radio remote control systems in the country, due to the extremely robust and safe product portfolio, which is backed by outstanding local support.”

Miguel Tellez, managing director at �Ӱ�ר�� Radio America LLC, said: “We have been active in Brazil for over a decade now, both through distributors buying from the U.S. and in terms of customers buying machinery in other countries and incorporating our radio controls. However, as demand continues to grow and Brazil looks set to be a hotbed of activity in the long term, it’s important to take our presence to the next level and provide the region with a greater volume of local product and support.”

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio Brazil will offer the full range of radio remote controls, including the Panther system, which is popular with electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes and other industrial applications. The primary benefit of the Panther line is safety; in accordance with Cat3-Pld standard, transmitters send repeated ‘stay-alive pulses’ to the receiver, prompting the safety relay(s) to drop if the receiver loses ‘sight’ of the transmitter’s ping (out of range, dead battery, broken transmitter, etc.).

Neves added: “Overhead cranes are a niche market in which �Ӱ�ר�� Radio is strong worldwide and while that trend will be replicated here in Brazil, we are keen to present the entire range of equipment as remote control solutions for mining, mobile, construction, industrial, and other applications. We are now in a position to put the range closer to the point of use than ever before.”

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio U.S. will provide technical and sales support as the Brazil entity establishes itself in the market.

�Ӱ�ר�� Radio TEQ industrial wireless remote control now available as standard models

International Marketing Team — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 13:29:34 +0000

Discover the possibilities with �Ӱ�ר�� Radio at MATEXPO 2019

Under the name ‘Basic Line’, �Ӱ�ר�� Radio is announcing three new standard models to augment the TEQ range of wireless remote controls for the mobile industrial and hydraulic sector. Built exclusively from standard components, this new line-up fulfils the most essential requirements for applications in the field of industrial remote control,at an attractive price for features and quality at this level. From 11‑15 September in Kortrijk Xpo – on stand R11 – �Ӱ�ר�� Radio offers visitors an opportunity to experience all the possibilities of these ergonomic products, which are so important to safe and efficient operation of industrial machinery.

Drawing on its extensive experience with the original, fully-customisable TEQ remote control units, �Ӱ�ר�� Radio has now developed a new series built exclusively from standard components: the Basic Line.This development makes the transmitters and receivers suitable for mass-production, which in turn drives down the cost price.Even so, this standard series can meet the needs of 9 out of 10 industrial applications!

Of course, the Basic Line also employs reliable RFID technology, it can be connected to standard bus systems, and if necessary, the wireless range can be extended indefinitely by means of repeaters.

Construction

The complete Basic Line consists of three standard bellybox transmitters (T24-01, T26-02 and T26-03), plus two standard receivers (R20-01 and R21-01). The transmitters feature a black faceplate with white markings, and all models include haptic alarm signalling and two-way communication to facilitate feedback. They also have an M12 cable connector and a large, full-colour display. Power is supplied internally by two Li-ion batteries (charger included), or externally via the 12/24 VDC socket or a 100/240 VAC adapter.

The transmitters come in two sizes: the mid-sized T24, and the two smaller T26 models. Further differences between the three models lie in the number of side buttons, and two of the three have a Cat 3, PLd certified emergency stop feature.

Receivers

The two receivers can be linked to one of the three transmitters, depending on the application. The plug-in type R20-01 provides 26 preconfigured I/Os, PWM for proportional valve control, and an integrated 35-pin connector with 2��m cable.The R21-01 is equipped with four preconfigured I/Os, an M12 connector with CANopen serial communication, and an M20 cable gland.��

Applications

These standard industrial remote controls are ideal for applications such as the operation of cranes, winches, pumps, and the hydraulic systems of low-loaders and tipping trailers. A wireless remote control greatly improves the overall efficiency and safety of operation, especially when the transmitters and receivers include an integrated emergency stop circuit certified compliant with Cat 3, PLd.

Kässbohrer trailer engineering relies on �Ӱ�ר�� Radio for innovative trailer

International Marketing Team — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 09:41:10 +0000

Safe discharging of a bitumen tanker with a Panther PLd system

Kässbohrer is Europe’s fastest growing trailer producers due to their quality and innovative solutions in chassis building. Many transport companies make us of the Kässbohrer solutions for the transport of goods for decades.

The manufacturer co-operates with �Ӱ�ר�� Radio for the development of various wireless solutions on trailers. The systems are easy to install and reliable and really contribute to the safety and comfort. For the Kässbohrer tippers they use a wired and wireless control for the front cylinder that tilts the box and opens the rear door. The �Ӱ�ר�� Radio Panther 3 buttons transmitter can be used from the cabin as well as outside on a safe distance.

The increased safety by using a wireless remote control can even be better viewed with the bitumen tank trailer that is developed in co-operation with Hoyer Logistics GMBH. For the charging and discharging the driver/operator can use a wired control system attached to the trailer. But with the hot and flammable bitumen the operator needs to respect a safe zone of approximately 6 meters. This is simply possible by using a Panther PLd wireless remote. The user is at a safe distance, has a good view on the trailer, and is able to close the valves immediately and run a away in case of emergency. The transmitter is independently certified for the PLd safety level. The video that can be seen through the link below, shows the unique solution on this bitumen trailer.

Based on this innovation Kässbohrer deserved the IAA Trailer Innovation Award 2017 in the category safety.

The importance of a Notified Body for your safety

International Marketing Team — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 13:38:09 +0000

The importance of a Notified Body for your safety

When it comes to safety, people often use the term ‘notified body’ to refer to an independent safety assessment agency.But what exactly does this term mean, and why should it matter to us?

A Notified Body – also known as NB or nobo – literally means a designated assessment organisation.This is an inspection or testing institute designated by national governments to assess whether products conform to the relevant national and European directives.In the Netherlands, it is usually the Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment who designate these organisations, and ‘notify’ them to Brussels.Some familiar names in the Netherlands are Kiwa, Dekra, Lloyd’s, Liftinstituut, TüV and KEMA.In addition, Dutch companies are also free to use NBs in other European countries.

Many companies are authorised to self-assess their products for conformity with the applicable legislation and regulations, based on which they may apply a CE mark.However, for products with a heightened risk, it is mandatory to use an NB.For example, when it concerns medical or radio equipment, or components that must be guaranteed safe to use in a hazardous environment.The manufacturer may only CE‑mark their product when the NB has granted the product a positive assessment –the conformity assessment.

The involvement of a Notified Body has an important added value for both manufacturers and users, because it means that an independent party has confirmed the product quality.�Ӱ�ר�� Radio therefore willingly engages Notified Bodies to assess its products, as this means it can guarantee safety in critical applications.Of course, �Ӱ�ר�� Radio can always show the official certificate to any party that needs to see proof – and not every supplier is able to do that.

A list of all European Notified Bodies can be found via .
