ACCESS SAFETY

Trapped Key Interlocks

The trapped key system works on the principle of releasing heavy duty coded mechanical keys in a pre-determined sequence to ensure machine power has been isolated before any access can be made into areas where hazards or dangerous machinery is present. <ul><li>All available in die cast or stainless steel <li>Up to 48 standard key codes available <li>Other custom key codes available on request <li>Sequential or non-sequential release</li></ul>

Solenoid Interlock Switches

Non Contact Safety Switches

Non contact safety switches designed for door interlocking and monitoring on hinged, sliding and removable doors offering good tolerance to misalignment and able to withstand water, dirt and vibration making them more effective than traditional safety switches.

Beacons with Sounders

Safety Light Curtains

Safety Edges

The sensing strip is made of conductive rubber, if the safety edge is pressed together there is a short-circuit and the control unit opens its safety outputs. Several sensing strips can be easily connected in series. OEM can supply parts only or a complete safety edge assembled to customer specifications. <ul><li>No mechanical components <li>Easy installation <li>Up to safety category 3 <li>IP67</li></ul>

Emergency Stop Switches

Emergency Stop Stations

Rope Pull Switches

Designed to be mounted on machines and sections of conveyors which cannot be protected by guards. In contrast to traditional mushroom head type emergency stop buttons, grab wire safety rope switches can initiate the emergency command from any point along the installed rope length and provide robust emergency stop rope pull protection for exposed conveyors or machines. <ul><li>Stainless steel or die cast metal <li>Patented tensioner/gripper accessory for ease of installation <li>IP67, IP69K <li>Optional dual colour LED for status indication from distance</li></ul>

CONTROL PANEL SAFETY

Safety Relays

Comprehensive range of safety relays for a wide variety of applications: safety switches and interlocks, light curtains, emergency stop buttons, etc. Wide voltage versions for mobile applications are also available. <ul><li>24Vac/dc, 230Vac, 8-36Vdc, and 12Vdc options <li>Standstill monitors <li>Two hand control relays <li>Safety Cat.3 (PLd) and Safety Cat.4 (PLe) versions available</li></ul>
