XA E-Stops
For Immediate Release

World’s Safest 16mm XA E-Stops now Illuminated and with 29mm Mushroom Head
Think Automation and beyond …

Sunnyvale– IDEC’s one-of-a-kind XA (16mm) emergency stop switches are now available with new LED illuminated models, available in both 29mm and 40mm button sizes and with replaceable, 24V AC/DC LEDs. Not only that, but non-illuminated XA E-Stops are now also available in the smaller 29mm size for added convenience.

 

The emergency stop button is a critical component on any machine because its failure has the potential to cause severe injury or loss of life. To reduce the risk of potential disaster, the XA series incorporates an innovative “safe break action” concept. This unique, revolutionary design uses spring-pressure to assure that the NC contacts will open if the emergency switch is damaged or the contact blocks break off due to excessive force. This makes the XA E-Stops the world’s safest switches!

For more information on the XA series of E-Stop switches, please contact IDEC Corporation at 1-800-262-IDEC (4332) or visit www.idec.com/usa/estop.
