New Safety Interlock Switch
July 1, 2019
KEYENCE Corporation of America has released the new GS Series safety interlock switch, adding value to its safety light curtains and safety area scanners. It features a compact design, stable alignment and is easily integrated into any safety system.
Features of the switch include:
- A redesigned actuator that allows for easier door closure and the ability to maintain door closure over time, even when doors/gates sag or machine vibration occurs. This improvement eliminates unnecessary machine stoppages.
- Large LED status indicators change colors depending on door status, allowing personnel to easily check if the door is open/closed from a distance. These features maintain valuable machine uptime.
- A small footprint allows for direct and flexible mounting, increasing the location options.
- The switch integrates seamlessly and can achieve a high level of safety, all while eliminating the need for additional components.
- Cascade/daisy chain up to 30 units while maintaining individual door I/O. This minimizes wiring yet allows for quick isolation of areas needing attention.
Each design feature serves to reduce time and costs associated with installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
