Safety

Safety Interlock Switches are a means of safeguarding that monitors the position of a guard or gate. You can use them to shut off power, control personnel access and prevent a machine from starting when the guard is open.

Tongue Interlock Switches

Tongue Interlock Switches allow the head of the switch to rotate, offering different options on how you can operate the switch and mount it on the guard. This flexibility offers the best fit for your applications. [More]

Trapped Key Switches

Trapped Key Interlock Switches can be configured to ensure that a predetermined sequence of events takes place or that hazards have been reduced before operators become exposed to them. [More]

Guard Locking Switches

Guard Locking Switches protect hazardous areas where a danger is not immediately removed after a stop request. On many machines, removing power to the motor or actuator will not immediately stop the dangerous motion. Typical applications are high inertia rotating machines, fast rotating machines, and machines where high pressure needs to be released from pneumatic valves. [More]

Non-Contact Interlock Switches

Non-Contact Interlock Switches help you protect personnel and equipment. At the same time, flexibility and productivity are points that you must also consider as you design your safety system. For non-contact interlocks, no physical contact (under normal conditions) takes place between the switch and actuator. [More]

Hinge Interlock Switches

Hinge Interlock Switches, when triggered, will close specific normally open (accessible) doors or guards. [More]

Safety Interlock Switch Accessories

Safety Interlock Switch Accessories include actuators, beacons and bulbs, conduit accessories, replacement covers, dust covers, and solenoid emergency overrides. [More]

Safety PLC systems bring the benefits of traditional PLC systems to complex safety applications, replacing the hard-wired relay systems normally required to bring automated processes to a safe state. Safety PLCs allow standard and safety-related programs to reside in a single controller chassis, providing flexibility in programming as well as a familiar and easy-to-use environment for programmers. Our safety controller solutions provide open and integrated control that will help to ensure machine safety and protect your current control investments.

Safety Laser Scanners

Guardmaster® SafeZone™ Safety Laser Scanners are Type 3 opto-electronic devices that protect personnel or equipment by detecting them in its sensing field. Operating on the 'time of flight' principle, the scanners emit pulses of eye-safe infrared laser light over a 190-degree arc, then receive and process the light reflected off of intrusions in the sensing field to determine the position and distance to the object. When an object is detected, the scanners send a stop signal to the protected machine. [More]
