Safety Interlock Switches Details
Safety Interlock Switches

Safety-related switchgears for the position monitoring of guard doors & non-contact protection of hazardous zones & danger points.

Safety Interlock Switches

Saftey switches with separate actuators are widely used in production. They are used in almost all types of machine tools. The reason for this is that Schmersal saftey switches offer certain benefits when frequent access to the danger point is required for the purpose of operating machinery, repairing faults, or setting-up. Saftey switches are suitable for monitoring the position of hinged, sliding, and especially for removable safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational saftey. Schmersal Safe switching and monitoring products include:

  • Safety switch
  • Solenoid interlock
  • Door handle actuator
  • Position switch
  • Safety switch for hinged guards
  • Safety sensors
  • Emergency stop switches
  • Control panels & Two hand control panels
  • Safety light barriers / curtains / grids
  • Enabling device
  • Tactile sensor

Overview

For more than 60 years, Schmersal has provided man-machine safeguarding solutions to industry - offering the largest range of safety switching appliances and systems worldwide - for the protection of human life and machine.

Schmersal interlock safety switches and controllers satisfy a vast array of safety applications and challenges resulting in a safer workplace, safer machines, reduced liability, improved productivity, lower insurance costs, and compliance with OSHA, ANSI & CE. More stringent standards being adopted are evidence of the increased emphasis being given to employee safety in the workplace. Conventional devices traditionally used as safety interlocks do not meet contemporary requirements and consequently when used in such applications, are unsafe.

Norman Equipment’s comprehensive Schmersal product offering includes but is not limited to:

  • Safety-Interlock Switches
  • Non-Contact Safety Sensors
  • Emergency Cable-Pull Switches
  • Safety Controllers
  • Safety Light Curtains & Beams
  • Hinged Safety Interlocks
  • Safety Edges/Bumpers
  • Safety Rated Limit Switches
  • Safety Foot Switches
  • Safety Pressure Mats
