Innovative approach to two hand control
systems
In Safeball, Jokab Safety has a revolutionary approach to one and two hand control devices.
Safeball is a ergonomic way of using a switch without the pushing or pressing action of normal start systems Shaped similarly to that of a tennis ball, the switches are mounted internally either side of the ball and the only action required is to let your hand fall down and hold the switch as if you are holding a ball

Connect many devices on same safety circuit
A cost effective solution makes it possible to connect many types of safety devices on the same safety circuit and still achieve category 4 according to EN 954-1.
This makes it easy for anyone to use, as there is a low activation force required.
The two switches come as one normally open and one normally closed and this can be used with the correct two hand start relay, in order to safely activate machinery.
A version with two normally open switches is available by request.
Also Jokab Safety have a ball-joint mounting, which means the Safeball can be rotated or angled for an improved working environment and better operating posture.
Jokab Safety can also offer a complete system, which comprises of two Safeballs with an Emergency Stop Button mounted on a pedestal assembly with handrail together with a two-hand start relay.
