Information about the product

As well as the moral obligation to avoid harming anyone, there are laws that require machines to be safe, and sound economic reasons for avoiding accidents. Safety must be taken into account right from the design stage and must be kept in mind at all stages in the life of a machine: design, manufacture, installation, adjustment, operation, maintenance and eventual scrapping.

Interlock switches to detect the position of movable guards for control interlocking, usually to permit tasks such as loading/unloading, cleaning, setting, adjustment etc. Protection of operators is provided by stopping the machine when the actuator is withdrawn from the head of the switch, when the lever or plunger is actuated, when the guard is opened or the guard hinge rotates through 5° – generally on machines with low inertia (i.e. quick stopping times)
