Enabling Switches HE1B
Overview
The HE1B is small, lightweight and highly reliable. It is ideally suited for use in robotic teaching pendants and complies to major industry regulations. It provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.
Key Features
- Three position functionality (OFF-ON-OFF)
- Ideally suited for use as enabling (aka "deadman") switch on teaching pendants
- Positive action contacts "On" (position 2) to "Off" (position 3) ensure no contact welding (per EN 60947-5-1 / IEC60947-5-1)
- Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)
