We develop innovative products and
solutions for machine safety
We make it simple to build safety systems. Developing innovative products and solutions for machine
safety has been our business idea since the company Jokab Safety, now ABB AB, was founded in
Sweden in 1988. Our vision is to become “Your partner for machine safety – globally and locally”.
Many industries around the world, have discovered how much easier it has become to build protection and safety systems with our components and guidance.
Experience
We have great experience of practical application of safety requirements andstandards from both authorities and
production. We represent Sweden instandardisation organisations for machine safety and we work daily with the
practical application of safety requirements in combination with production requirements. You can use our experience for training and advice.
Systems
We deliver everything from a safety solution to complete safety systems for single machines or entire production
lines. We combine production demands with safety demands for production-friendly solutions.
Products
We market a complete range of safety products, which makes it easy to build safety systems. We develop these
innovative products continuously, in cooperation with our customers Our extensive program of products, safety
solutions and our long experience in machine safety makes us a safe partner.
Jokab Safety - a member of the ABB Group
Jokab Safety is now a member of the ABB Group, which
gives us extra strength and a world wide sales network
in 120 countries. Our goal is to become even better
at providing service to you by cooperation within ABB
globally and locally.

Standards and
regulations
We help to develop standards
Directives and standards are very important to machinery and safety component manufacturers. We therefore
participate in several international committees that develop standards, for among other things industrial robots,
safety distances and control system safety features. This
is experience that we absorb so that the standards will
present requirements that benefit production efficiency
allied to a high level of safety. We are happy to share our
knowledge of standards with our customers.

Our products revolutionise the market
Flexibility
Programmable
Not programmable
Pluto
AS-i
Vital
Dynamic "doubled up"
safety signal that tests a
sensor, for example, 200
times per second.
Safety relay
Double static inputs that
only test the switches
each time they are used.
Our dynamic safety circuits and our comprehensive
safety PLC are probably the most revolutionary ideas
that have happened in the safety field in the control and
supervision of protection, in many respects:
•They save on inputs: a dual safety circuit with one
conductor instead of two. In addition, many protection devices can be connected to the same input
while maintaining the highest level of safety.
•Reliability is better. Our electronic sensors have
much longer lives than mechanical switches
•They are safer, since the dynamic safety sensors are
checked 200 times per second. Switches on a door
can only be checked each time they are used, for
example once per hour or even once a month.
Pluto All-Master
Safety PLC with static and dynamic
safety inputs.

Slaves
Traditional safety PLC
Master-Slave with static inputs
Number of machines/different stops
•With the All-Master Safety PLC it is easy to connect
and disconnect machinery from a safety viewpoint.
Common emergencystop circuits and sensors can
be created as soon as the buses are interconnected
between our safety PLCs.
We are continuously designing safety systems for difficult environments and also to create new safety solutions where practical solutions are missing. New technical improvements give new possibilities and therefore
we continuously develope new products.
We train both machine builders
and machine operators
Do you construct machinery?
We can provide the training you need to construct machinery that meets the requirements. Example subjects:
As a machinery user it is your responsibility to ensure
thatthecorrectrequirementsarecompliedwith–regardless of whether your machinery is “new” or “old”, i.e.
CE-labelled or not. Unfortunately many have purchased
CE-labelled machinery that does not meet the requirements. This must not be used. Having it brought into
compliance by the supplier can take a long time and be
expensive in terms of loss of production, etc. We can educate you on this and help you to set the right demands
when buying new or even second-hand machinery.
