Safety relays are devices which look for potential issues within a plant, machine or other system and carry out tasks to ensure safe operation, where necessary. As a first line of defence against unsafe working and accidents they are especially important – keeping staff safe and operations running. Safety relays are generally quick and easy to install and use, and are available in single and multi-function varieties.

You'll find safety relays used just about anywhere people and machinery come together. Industrial functions and applications include:

• Emergency Stop Buttons
• Light Curtains
• Safety Switches and Interlocks
• Two Hand Controls
