Worker safety is one of the most important issues in the metalforming industry today, but productivity is also an important consideration. Where operators frequently intervene in the production process, safety gates and light curtains are not always suitable. That's where the new Siemens Simotion range comes into it's own!

The compact Simotion TM 121 is not only fast, it is also incredibly easy to use with ready-programmed function blocks for press applications. It can also be parameterized (using an RS232 cable) with any PC using the supplied Windows software.

Customer benefits include non-contacting failsafe circuit for a longer and more reliable service life, a smaller control cabinet with less wiring and more convenience during installation, programming and comissioning.

Designed to meet the following requirements;
