Safety Interlock
Maximum locking force and compact packaging combined with the industry’s best strength-to-size ratio make this switch ideal for safeguarding machinery and equipment. Our new HS1T interlock switch provides safety, performance and cost advantages for equipment manufacturers, machinery builders, packaged system designers, robotics implementations and OEMs of all types. The device is suitable for many industries and can serve as the preferred model for many applications.This interlock switch delivers an industry-leading 5000N of locking force and meets the requirements of ISO 14119:203 for Lock Monitoring where both the status of the position and the locking function of a protective door can be monitored through the lock monitoring contact. By using this interlock switch fewer on-board contacts are needed to achieve redundant safety circuits and additional monitoring circuits, reducing the amount of wiring on the device. Installers will also appreciate that the HS1T has multiple available cable entry ports, with faster and more reliable wiring connections made possible by spring clamp terminals. These connections offer excellent vibration resistance, prevent wires from loosening and never need tightening.
CATALOGThe HS6B is the smallest three-contact enabling switch currently on the market, and will fit in even the tightest areas, so you have safety in every necessary location. The design allows the highest level of safety by having 3 total contacts, dual load contacts plus a monitoring contact (as per ISO13849-1, EN954-1). Two key entrances provide flexibility for installation options.
CATALOGThe HS6E series safety interlock switch provides a cost effective solenoid door interlock in a compact housing. A total of 4 circuit configurations for both spring and solenoid lock types can be found with standard 3 meter cable. Along with flexible mounting directions you can have up to 4 actuation entry points and 5 different actuator keys, the HS6E can be used to meet any of your simplest safety applications.Spring Lock TypeAutomatically locks the actuator without power to the solenoid. Unlocking is accomplished by energizing the solenoid, providing a high level of safety. Manual unlocking is possible in the event of power failure or maintenance.Solenoid Lock TypeThe actuator is locked only when actuator is in place and is solenoid energized. The actuator is unlocked when de-energized.
CATALOGThe HS1C is a full size interlock switch in a rugged die-cast aluminum housing that also includes a locking solenoid. When mounting the key on a movable door, and the switch on a machine body, the door can be mechanically locked when closed. The door is unlocked by a solenoid lock-release signal from a PLC or other source after the machine has stopped. In the even of power failure or for machine maintenance, the door can be unlocked using a special tool.
