KEYENCE Announces New Safety Interlock Switch
KEYENCE develops sensor that goes beyond traditional sensor capabilities.
KEYENCE has pushed the limits of what safety interlock switches can do. Every aspect of safety interlock switches has been carefully studied and improved with innovative features, resulting in a much simpler device that manufacturers have never seen until now.
Innovative Features
• A redesigned actuator allows for much easier door closure and the ability to maintain door closure over time even when doors/gates sag or machine vibration occurs. This improvement eliminates unnecessary machine stoppages.
• Large LED status indicators change colors depending on door status, allowing personnel to easily check if the door is open/closed from a distance. These features maintain valuable machine uptime.
• An extremely small footprint allows for direct and flexible mounting, increasing the location options.
• The new Safety Interlock switch integrates seamlessly and can achieve the highest level of safety all while eliminating the need for additional components.
• Cascade/daisy chain up to thirty units while maintaining individual door I/O. This minimizes wiring yet allows for quick isolation of areas needing attention
Each design feature serves to reduce time and costs associated with installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
