The ROBA® brake-checker® is a smart module for monitoring and optionally supplying (released) safety brakes. It is installed in the control cabinet, analyzes the characteristic current and voltage curves in the supply line to the brake and draws clear conclusions about its operating state. The ROBA® brake-checker® is far more than just a replacement for release monitoring and wear monitoring with microswitches and proximity switches: By recording additional measurement parameters (e.g. switching times, voltages or coil resistance of the brake), the ROBA® brake-checker® enables advanced analyses and conclusions on complex correlations - in the brake and machine.
As a sensorless monitoring system, the function and reliability of the ROBA® brake-checker® are not impaired by ambient conditions or mechanical influences on the safety brake. The ‘plus’ versions of the ROBA® brake-checker® include the function of a ROBA® multiswitch or ROBA® switch 24 V and therefore also supply the brake.
mayr® validation aid documents provide machine manufacturers with essential information—beyond the standard B10d (Mttfd) safety values—required for validating the selected product in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-2.
If you are using special versions, identifiable by the suffix “S” in the type designation, the applicability of the validation aid must be verified.
Please contact mayr® with the 7-digit mayr® article number to confirm whether the available validation support is approved for your special version.
