SICK Safety Switches
Safety switches are indispensable in any application where safety is required for people and machinery. They are used for protecting movable physical guards, determining the position of dangerous movements, and the safe stop function.
SICK offers a range of safety switches …
- Electro-mechanical: Monitor movable physical guards both efficiently and reliable. The portfolio consists of three product groups: safety position switches, safety hinge switches and safety switches with a separate actuator. This variety ensures the right solutions are available for a range of applications. In conjunction with sens:Control – safe control solutions, SICK offers ideal complete solutions from a single source.
- Non-contact safety switches: Ideal in applications where precise guidance of guards is difficult. Due to their design, they are extremely long-lasting devices that require minimal maintenance. In addition, they are resistant to shock and vibrations and offer a high level of prevention against tampering. SICKs range of non-contact safety switches include magnetic, transponder and inductive safety switches. Rectangular and cylindrical types are available for each sensor principle.
- Safety locking devices: Locking function to lock protective devices securely and prevent access to areas which are protected by protective devices. Safety switches with locking function can be relied upon to prevent people from opening protective devices until dangerous states (machine overrun movement, for example) have passed or machine processes that cannot be interrupted have been complete.
- Safety command devices: Ensure that dangerous movements are stopped safely or critical machine functions are put into operation. The portfolio contains four products groups 1) Emergency stop pushbuttons 2) Reset pushbuttons and multiple pushbuttons 3) Rope pull switches 4) Enabling switches. This wide variety provides the right solution for a range of applications.
DBI Control recently applied the RE27-SA05L Non-contact safety switch RE2 in a recent project for a long time customer – a multinational manufacturer and marketer of home appliances. These simple and established non-contact door monitoring safety switches have a response range of up to 9mm and are flexi-loop compatible. They have a long service life due to the durable and low-maintenance design and are easy to clean, making them suitable for contaminated areas or environments with strict hygiene standards.
