Multipurpose Diagnostic System
July 1, 2021
AMETEK Factory Automation offers an updated case design to provide increased protection for the Gemco 1999 Semelex Safetimeter. The portable, multipurpose diagnostic system for press room automation and operator safety device analysis is now easier to handle and transfer between locations.
The 1999SEMC Semelex II Safetimeter test set measures press stop time and safety distance to verify the equipment is in compliance with U.S. federal and state requirements. The device is designed for harsh industrial environments. It is portable, lightweight, battery-operated and incorporates improved features.
"Manufacturers working with stamping presses or other machinery equipped with light curtains, palm-buttons, E-stop buttons or safety mats need to know where to position their personnel in order to keep them safe from potential accidents that may occur as a result of contact with the moving machinery," said a company spokesperson. The versatile 1999SEMC Semelex II Safetimeter can quickly calculate stopping time on machines with reciprocating or rotary motion and determine the minimum safe distance. Gemco's Semelex Safetimeter is capable of measuring elapsed time and stop time (Ts) from 1-9999 milliseconds. It also calculates the minimum safety distance (Ds) based on the formulas created by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The Gemco 1999 Safetimeter series has been updated with a stronger case made from a highly visible yellow plastic resin. The case is lightweight, waterproof (IP67), crushproof, dustproof and has a die-cut foam insert for the auto-hand and position/velocity transducer. These tough cases are designed with an automatic purge valve that equalizes air pressure, a watertight silicone O-ring lid, over-molded rubber handles and stainless-steel hardware.
