Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches
Pull-wire, emergency-stop switches and wire-tensioning devices for safety-oriented applications make up the new range from Schmersal.
Switches protect operators
Atlas slitters are enclosed in a Satech perimeter guard fencing system, which is fitted with between five and ten doors and every door is fitted with a Schmersal AZM415 safety door switch.
Together they provide greater functionality, allowing designers to create illuminated and non-illuminated pushbuttons, momentary contact twist switches, selector switches, key operated switches and indicator lights.
Individual devices are assembled by connecting the actuating head to the mounting flange located under the front plate.
The required contact and illuminated elements are then snapped onto the contact holder and both modules (mounting flange and contact holder) are connected by means of the integrated contact securing elements.
The use of high quality glass, metals and plastics in the manufacture of the R-Series ensures that the proven features of Schmersal's other control devices (such as the hygienic N-Series) have been retained and that these durable control devices and indicator lights can withstand even the most severe levels of stress, shock and vibration.
The R-Series is IP65-rated to provide protection in the most extreme ambient conditions, even during frequent activation over long periods.
ATEX-rated versions are also available for potentially explosive environments.
