Slim Interlock Safety Switches

Sept. 1, 2008
Billed as the thinnest solenoid-type interlock safety switches in the world, the 15mm-wide HS6E switches are designed to safeguard machines with a solenoid door interlock in compact housing. 
With 500N retention locking force and various mounting layouts, the interlock switches can lock out or monitor an area where potential machine hazards may exist for operators. When a door is opened prior to start or during operation, the control circuit to the main power can be isolated, to ensure the machine is safe when the operator requires access. The switches are available with spring or solenoid locking methods, in addition to multiple monitor contacts for checking the actuator insertion or solenoid status.IDEC Corp.www.IDEC.com/usa800.262.4332
