Safety Sensing & Switches

Safety Sensing & Switches

Ensuring gates, covers and other physical guarding is in place before a machine can run is a vital part of machinery safety. This task often falls to safety sensors, safety switches and limit switches, or interlocks. These all provide safe inputs to the machines' safety relay or controller to ensure a machine can't start, or is stopped, if a gate or guard is opened.
