Product Details
Idem guard locking switches are engineered for robust position interlock detection in moving guards, featuring a locking mechanism that ensures the guard remains closed until the associated hazard is cleared. These tongue-operated switches are designed to attach to the leading edge of sliding or hinged machine guards, delivering positively operated switching contacts alongside a tamper-resistant, not easily defeatable key mechanism. Depending on the risk assessment of the application, they can be utilized independently, complying with EN60947-5-1 for positively operated contacts, or in conjunction with any dual-channel safety monitoring relays to achieve up to Ple category 4 per ISO13849-1 or SIL3 as per EN62061. The switches are available in various materials and housing styles, offering flexibility to meet diverse application requirements.
