Banner Engineering Corp. introduces SI-HG63 Series Hinge Safety Interlock Switches for safeguarding of hazards. SI-HG63 hinge switches are used in place of the standard hinges on swinging guards, gates or doors. They offer two normally closed safety contacts and one normally open auxiliary contact for greater application flexibility. (read more)

Kentek's Entry Guard® sets a new standard for fail-safe access control systems. The Entry Guard® ensures that unauthorized personnel are prohibited from areas where laser radiation may be present. When power to the controller is interrupted, critical outputs, including magnetic door locks and laser interlocks, revert to a "safe" state: magnetic locks off, interlocks open. (read more)

The Series AZ15/16 is designed for use with movable machine guards/access gates which must be closed for operator safety. Their positive-opening NC contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional spring-driven switches whose contacts can weld or stick shut. (read more)

The 3 contact TESZ Series are designed for use with hinged movable machine guards which must be closed for operator safety. Their tamper-resistant design and positive-opening NC contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional, spring-driven limit switches often used to monitor hinged-guard position.

The AZM161 is designed for machines/work cells where access to a hazardous work area must be controlled until safe conditions exist. Their solenoid-latching feature permits locking a machine guard until dangerous conditions, which may exist immediately after removal of power, have abated. Solenoid-latching may be controlled by a time delay, motion detector, position sensor or other component. (read more)

The AZM170 is designed for machine cells where access to a hazardous work area must be controlled until safe conditions exist. Their solenoid-latching feature permits locking a machine guard until dangerous conditions, which may exist immediately after removal of power, have abated. Solenoid-latching may be controlled by a time delay, motion detector, position sensor or other component. (read more)

EUCHNER Bolts, when opened intentionally, the actuator mounted on the handle is pulled out of the actuator head of the safety switch. The opening of the NC contacts of the safety switch fulfils the aforementioned safety standard and permits access to the protected space. (read more)
