Industry automation solutions provider Omron Automation has advanced its panel solutions with the new MY-GS-R relay. Particularly, this addition allows users to verify the operational state accurately. At the same time, encompasses the other key features such as vibration resistance, reduced wiring times, and unified component dimensions.

This relay can be integrated in broad industries with a variety of different applications. Among them are packaging machinery, palletizing/de-palletizing, assembling, and material handling.

The MY-GS-R electromechanical relay has new features that add more value to the MYS relay that it’s replacing. Furthermore, the MY-GS-R offers the same vibration resistance, reduced wiring times, unified component dimensions, and industry certifications that customers enjoy on the MYS relay. Nonetheless, the new update comes with an integrated mechanical indicator to visually confirm that it’s switching properly.

Optimal Features, Specifications

One of the major challenges for manufacturers has been the inability to determine the relay’s operational status and position. Omron Automation’s MY-GS-R relay comes with the latest edition of the mechanical operation indicator that displays the visual operation of the relay. Moreover, this integration allows operators and engineers to confirm the relay operation status and position. Hence, allowing users to address any issues that may arise and ensure optimal system performance.

Vibration in a typical manufacturing environment can cause screw terminals to loosen over time. Thus, leading to potential operational issues and downtime. However, the MY-GS-R has vibration-resistant Push-In Plus terminals. This removes the need to perform periodic maintenance on wire terminals. This can reduce the amount of time required to wire a control panel by up to 60%.

The lack of available space within control panels is a persistent concern for manufacturers seeking to expand their systems’ capabilities. For that reason, the MY-GS-R continues to include Omron’s Panel Solutions features. They come with uniform height, width, depth, and component spacing to optimize panel space usage. These unified component dimensions can save up to 50% panel space. Thus, allowing customers to fit more devices into the same amount of space.
