The safety switches, monitoring systems, and safety relays described in this section are designed to interlock safeguarding systems such as barrier guards, gates, covers, and shields. They can be used on exposed machinery, conveyors and handling equipment, as well as textile, packaging, and processing machines, robots and other types of machinery. They are designed to be used in various types of industrial environments.
Each of these must be considered separately. Each of these categories must also be considered for all stages of machine operation including installation, normal operation, maintenance, inspection, and removal from service. Remember, when interlocking guards, there are many factors that must be considered, including safety, reliability, convenience, production, and maintenance. |
These tamper-resistant safety switches can be used to interlock hinged, sliding, or lift-off guards. Closure of the guard or latch causes the actuator to enter the switch and release the dual antitamper locking cams. The actuator allows the main center cam to rotate and make the switch contacts. When opening the guard or latch, the actuator positively forces the contacts open due to the cam action built into the switch. |

These switches are designed to prevent accidental or deliberate access while the machine is in motion. The mechanical locking feature is ideal for machines that have to finish a sequence, a program, or coast to a stop before the interlocked guard can be opened. The switches allow the guard to be mounted closer to the hazard than nonlocking switches. |

A handle-operated safety interlock switch is used to replace an existing handle and keyed interlock on a guard. Nonlocking and locking handle-operated switches are available and operate on a similar principle. When the handle (turning-lever actuator) is inserted into the switch and rotated 90º, the safety circuits close and allow the machine to start. |
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |
Safety position switches are used for rotary or linear cam switches. Typically, these can be used on presses to designate top of stroke, sequence stop, or bottom of stroke. As the lever is rotated or depressed, the contacts change state. When the lever is returned to the neutral position, the contacts change back to the original condition. |

TWO-HAND CONTROL RELAY |
SAFETY RELAYS
A safety relay is designed to connect safety devices, such as interlock switches, to the machine control circuit. It provides a switching action from the safety interlock switch, and can act as an intermediate relay to distribute a signal to multiple devices. The relay compares input and output signals, and provides failure to a safe condition if there is a failure in the interlocking interface control circuit. |

The flexi safety controller offers a unique solution for safety-relevant applications. Instead of hard wiring with safety relays or using expensive programmable logical controllers (safety PLCs), the flexi safety controller allows for an easier customizable system. When the safety input devices are connected to the system, the logic is implemented using rotary DIP switches, eliminating the need for software. |
