Safety hinges, pull ropes and guards

Treotham Automation has increased its Euchner safety switch range with the addition of safety hinges, rope pull switches and CET non-contact safety guard locks.

Because of its small design, the safety hinge is particularly suitable for applications in which robustness is required in conjunction with small dimensions. It combines the function of a door hinge with that of a safety switch. The safety hinge can be mounted on standard aluminium profiles or directly on doors, and the operating point can be adjusted over a large angular range.

Euchner rope pull switches are used as emergency stop devices with detent according to the related standard wherever machines and systems cannot be protected with safety covers (for example, on particularly long and extensive systems). The emergency stop function is triggered by pulling a pre-tensioned rope system or if the rope is severed.

The CET non-contact safety guard lock with guard lock monitoring provides the advantages of non-contact transponder technology combined with mechanical guard locking. Features such as unique coding, a particularly large read distance and offset are integrated into a switch with extremely high locking forces. The highest safety category is achieved even with the use of a single switch.
