We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Safety Interlock Switches",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Sand blasting equipment for flat glass decoration from
Guyson International, which we summarised at the time by saying "Guyson International has offered decorators of flat glass a range of sand blasting cabinets for producing frosted windows, internal glass panels, door panel decoration and decorative
insignia".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Hinge-operated safety interlock switches from
Omron Scientific Technologies: "Two hinge-operated safety interlock switches, ideally suited for use on smaller guard doors, are now available from Omron Scientific Technologies".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Omron Scientific Technologies
concerning its Magnetically actuated safety interlock switches
- take a look at Magnetically actuated safety interlock switches
which says: "Omron Scientific Technologies has introduced the MA-S Series Magnetically Actuated Safety Interlock Switches and Actuators".
Take a look also at the news release from Omron Scientific Technologies, Tongue-operated safety interlock switches,
as well as Magnetically actuated switches work in wash-down from Omron Scientific Technologies,
and Door interlock safety switches are tamperproof from Idec Electronics.
