Safety Interlock Switches
Interlocks are used on guards, covers & gates to ensure guarding is in position before machines can operate. Choose from nearly 300 options.
Safety Sensing & Switches
Ensuring gates, covers and other physical guarding is in place before a machine can run is a vital part of machinery safety. This task often falls to safety sensors, safety switches and limit switches, or interlocks. These all provide safe inputs to the machines' safety relay or controller to ensure a machine can't start, or is stopped, if a gate or guard is opened.
Safety Limit Switches
Explore over 300 safety rated limited switches which can help keep your machines or plant running safely every day.
Non-Contact Safety Switches
Coded, non-contact safety switches can replace tongue based safety switches and offer a higher resistance to dust, dirt and debris for greater reliability.
Safety Solenoid Switches
Solenoid interlocks ensure guards or gates are securely locked while machinery is operating and until movement has completely stopped won't open via power to unlock/lock.
Light Curtains
Optical protection which is available in a choice of resolutions (beam gap) to protect against ingress of fingers (14mm) and hands (30mm) with ranges typically up to 20m.
Safety beams & cameras
Single safety beams for protecting longer distances against full body access and safety cameras which 'learn' an aperture reducing time-consuming alignment of reflector strips.
Safety Hinge Switches
Hinge-actuated safety-interlock switches that can be used as, or connected to, the existing hinge for direct operation of the switch - ideal for access panels or other hinged guards.
Safety Laser Scanners
Safety laser scanners can protect a defined zone so are ideal for robot cells and other complex areas where there are multiple entry points.
