Product Details
Idem Guard locking switches are engineered for robust position interlock detection for moving guards, featuring a lock mechanism that ensures the guard remains closed until the hazard is eliminated. These switches are tongue-operated and designed for installation on the leading edge of sliding or hinged machine guards, offering positively operated switching contacts along with a tamper-resistant, durable key mechanism. Depending on the risk assessment for the application, the switches can operate independently to provide positively operated contacts compliant with EN60947-5-1 or can be integrated with dual channel safety monitoring relays to achieve up to PLe category 4 in accordance with ISO13849-1 or SIL3 as per EN62061. The switches are available in a variety of materials and housing styles, allowing for complete flexibility and adaptability to different application requirements.
