Enabling Switches

When depressed, enabling switches are designed to close in only one position, causing a stop condition in any other position. In hazardous locations, the safety guarding may need be disabled. An enabling switch allows for the machine operation to occur under these conditions. Euchner offers two position (OFF-ON) (dead-man switch) and three position (OFF-ON-OFF) (live-man switch) versions. Handheld enabling units and individual switches for installation are available. The three position dual channel models conform to ‘ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems’.
