Safety, Technology & Innovation
Safety, Technology & Innovation is a monthly update that delivers significant product information, educational articles and industry news from Omron STI and other expert sources to help make safety work, for you.
Optimizing the Safety Culture
Management support for safety is vital to a company's safety culture, and injury reduction. In Optimizing the Safety Culture as published in EHS Today magazine (formerly Occupational Hazards), Josh Williams, Ph.D. and senior project manager for Safety Performance Solutions, discusses how reviewing safety management systems can help optimize the safety culture at your company. The article also delivers helpful information on optimizing safety management systems, as well as safety training guidelines.



Technology Brief: Light Curtains: (Small) Size Matters
In Light Curtains: (Small) Size Matters, published in Fabricating & Metalworking magazine, learn how light curtain technology has evolved over the past half century (yes, light curtains really have been around since the mid-20th century!), and how those changes have made it possible for these devices to move from relatively limited use on only the largest of equipment, to the far more widespread use to help keep workers safe and productive on today's shop floor.

RM-2 Resource Modules Provide Centralized Location for Safety Device Connections
Omron STI's RM-2 resource modules are now available for DC or AC input power for reliable operation in a variety of environments. The RM-2AC-IP is the latest addition, and features IP65 protection with a rugged metal chassis for harsh applications. The RM-2 features an IP20 rated 100mm DIN enclosure, while the RM-2AC features an IP20 rated 150mm DIN enclosure.

RM-2 resource modules provide a centralized location for all connections, and convert the solid-state output of safety devices to force-guided relay outputs. The RM-2AC and RM-2AC-IP include a power supply and pair of safety relays, making them an ideal companion and a single point for wiring Omron STI's MS4800, MS4600, OF4600, PA4600, F3SJ and OS3101 safety devices. These resource modules provide connection points for all safety device functions, and serve as a central point for terminating all signals to and from a safety device, including EDM (external device monitoring).

Did You Know?
Did you know that Omron STI will engineer and design a safeguarding system for you based on an Omron STI assessment? Our engineers will design control circuitry and a guarding strategy commensurate with the identified risk level, including interfacing applicable schematics and a bill of materials. This offering is available when a facility has trained maintenance personnel that will be installing the safeguards on their own.
