Modular enabling switch
May 1st 2008 The new ZSM enabling switch
from Euchner features a modular,
lightweight and ergonomic design,
and is suitable for many different
control and safety related functions.
Enabling switches are subject
to continuous manual actuation,
and used with other control
switches for commands enabling
potentially hazardous conditions
to be run. Such switches are used
where personnel work directly on
running machines and systems,
with the obvious associated
hazards and dangers.
The modular design of the ZSM
switch, enables other functions to
be integrated. Additional
components can include a stop
device, an LED indicator or
a key-operated switch.
Such versatility turns the
unit virtually into a small
hand-held pendant station.
With its rubberised grip,
the low weight switch lies
securely in the hand,
providing fatigue-free
working, even over long
periods. An in-built
vibration signal indicates
to the operator that the
switch is still in the
enabling position. More articles from Euchner (UK) Limited: |
