IDEC Enabling Switches

Product Details:

HE2B redundant, or double basic switches have multiple contacts for extra reliability, and meet all major robotics industry requirements. Off-On-Off functionality 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.


Features:

• Three-position functionality (OFF-ON-OFF)
• 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)
• Variety of contact configurations (up to two OFF-ON-OFF and two push monitor and two return monitor)
• Available with or without rubber cover (cover provides IP65 watertight seal)
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05

Product Details:

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.


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)
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05

Product Details:

The HE3B enabling switch mounts into a standard 16mm panel cut out, and it has most of the same features as IDEC's other enabling switches. The Off-On-Off functionality 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.

Product Details:

The HE5B is small, easy to mount 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.


Features:

• Ergonomically-designed OFF-ON-OFF 3-position operation
• Easy recognition of position 1 -> 2 transition, made possible by snap action switch
• Sufficient load difference is provided for shifting from position 2 -> 3
• Light force needed to maintain position 2, so that operators can easily use the enabling switch
• The switch does not turn ON when being released from position 3 (OFF when pressed) to position 1 (OFF when released) (IEC60204-1, 9.2.5.8)
• Two contacts are provided for safety
• IP65 (using the waterproof rubber cover)
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05

Product Details:

HE6B is ergonomically designed to work where human interaction is required to turn on a machine or robot while the user is in a potentially dangerous area. Typically enabling switches are installed in grip switches or pendant stations. This 3-position enabling switch not only turns a machine on when pressed, but also turns machines off when over pressed or squeezed, as long as the switch is installed correctly in an adequate safety circuit. Two contacts are provided so that even if one contact fails, the other can disable machine operation. Functionality is the same as all previous HE devices and meets all stringent requirements to meet IEC standard 60947-5-8 for this class of products. A waterproof rubber boot, available in yellow or black, provides IP65 protection.3 –Position Operation, how it works: By holding an enabling switch, an operator can avert danger when a machine operates unexpectedly. When the panicked operator either releases or grasps tightly the enabling switch, the switch disables the machine operation in either situation.


Features:

• Compact design, DPDT contacts with up to 2 monitoring contacts
• Soft touch and ergonomic feel
• Meets IEC 60947-5-8 standard
• IP65 protection
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05
