Which Safety Switch Fiits Your Application within Machine Safety?
The right safety switch is essential for machine safety and depends on access type, environment and the level of safety required. They ensure that machines stop or remain safe as soon as a door, fence or guard is opened.
Common choices:
- Doors and fences: mechanical or non-contact safety switches
- Risk of tampering: coded safety switches
- Wet or hygienic environments: Stainless steel safety switches with high IP rating
- High safety levels: safety switches with locking mechanism
- Limited installation space: compact non-contact solutions
The right choice requires more than just compliance with laws and regulations. Application, environment and detection method determine whether a solution will continue to function reliably in practice. Teleson supports machine builders and manufacturing companies in selecting safety switches that fit their application and machine safety level.
"A great example of a success story is a machine builder in the food sector who previously used plastic non-contact safety switches, but regularly had to replace them at customers' premises due to cleaning procedures in food processing.
After they replaced the plastic variant with a stainless steel safety switch, replacement proved much less frequent with all the advantages that come with it. The purchase price of stainless steel is higher, but that was quickly recouped."Ralf de Hamer - Directeur Teleson
