Operator Safety & Control
Devices which ensure a machine or process can only be operated in a safe manner are another way to reduce or mitigate risks while allowing efficient operation and higher productivity. These devices can also allow the operator or other members of staff to stop machinery quickly if a dangerous situation occurs.
Two Hand Control Safety Switches
Two hand controls ensure that both operators hands are clear of the machinery before it will operate. Ideal for presses, cutting & folding machines and other manually loaded machinery with the risk of crush injuries to hands.
Rope Pull Safety Switches
Rope pull or grab wire switches allow a machine to be stopped in any emergency via a long, tensioned run of cable. Ideal for long machines or conveyor systems where multiple e-stop points would be impractical.
Safety Enabling Switches
Another way to ensure the operator is in a safe position before the machine can run is via the use of an enabling switch which must be held lightly in a middle position to allow the machine to operate.
Safety Edge Sensors
The Allen-Bradley Safedge™ protection system can be used in a variety of applications such as power operated doors and moving machinery beds. It uses a continuous line of touch sensing edging which when compressed can trigger a process to halt.
Safety Foot Switches
An alternative to the hand operated emergency stop, a safety related footswitch uses snap-action contacts to trigger an emergency stop.
IP69K Stainless Steel Emergency Stops
Emergency stops are often exposed to ensure easy access by operators. This means in washdown or tough environments a full stainless steel bodied IP69K protected e-stop can be the perfect choice.
Compact Emergency Stop Buttons
Where space is a premium the compact CEP series from ABB has just a 65x65mm enclosure footprint while offering a 40mm mushroom e-stop head.
