Smart control and safety solutions in robotics

In robotics applications, safety and control go hand in hand. Whether you need reliable signal processing, emergency shutdown functionality, or decentralized control modules – Kendrion offers robust and intelligent solutions to ensure safe, efficient, and coordinated robotic movement.

Our control and safety modules are designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of robotic platforms. With flexible interfaces, modular architecture, and compact design, our systems support a broad range of functions – from motor control to position monitoring and emergency stop.

Explore our key technologies that enhance control and safety in robotic systems:

  • Safety control units – For certified safety functions such as STO, SS1 and SLS, real-time monitoring, and emergency stop

  • Control modules – Scalable PLC and drive controllers for decentralized motion and brake control in robotic systems

  • Sensor integration – Flexible I/O modules for connecting laser scanners, encoders, and other safety-related sensors

 

Let your robotic application benefit from Kendrion’s expertise in control and safety technology – made for high-performance and mission-critical use cases.

Our Heroes for robotic solutions

Safety PLC - CODESYS Safety Control

The Safety PLC monitors light barriers and safety zones, ensuring the cobot slows down or stops if a person or object enters it. The large safe process image (FSoE frame) optimally supports drive controllers with safety functions such as STO, SS1, SLS. 

Benefits at a glance

  • CODESYS Safety Plugin for programming
  • Freely programmable Safety-PLC (IEC 61508 SIL3 and DIN EN ISO 13849-1 PL e)
  • Certified safety function blocks
  • Decreases time expenditure for development, verification and acceptance of safety applications
  • PLCopen certified
