IDEC ESTOP Switches

Product Details:

The XW series of Emergency Stop switches include a revolutionary new technology called safe break action that will change the way E-Stop switches are designed. This innovative concept provides greater levels of human safety and is the first of its kind in the world.

Conventional E-Stop switches are designed with spring pressure on the Normally Closed (NC) contacts, keeping them in the closed position and allowing the machine to operate. Improper installation or excessive force to the stop button in an emergency may break or dislodge a vital part, causing the spring loaded contact to stay closed. This situation renders the E-Stop incapable of stopping the machine and can lead to catastrophic events, personal injury and possible loss of life.This one-of-a-kind safe break action design, found only in the IDEC XW, XA, and X6 series, reverses the energy direction and uses the spring-pressure to assure that the NC contacts will open if the emergency switch is damaged or the contact blocks separate due to excessive force. The NC contacts will reliably open, even if they are welded, and stop the machine.

Product Details:

IDEC now offers a new series of E-stops that provide an even higher level of function and safety to customers. These 30mm XN E-stops are the first and only with exciting, new technology to make machines even safer.

Features include our unique “Safe Break Action,” which ensures NC contacts will open if the contact block is damaged or separated from the operator due to excessive force. Direct Opening Action ensures that even if the contacts are welded, the force applied on the button will directly open the contact. And a Safety Interlock Mechanism keeps contacts open when the operator is locked.Inspired by the lockout concept, the new XN series of padlock-type E-stops were developed to prevent unauthorized or accidental resetting of latched emergency stop switches, by allowing the use of up to 20 personal padlocks*. XN1E series E-stops save space behind the panel with depths of only 47.7mm for up to four contacts. And XN5E series E-stops only extend 21mm from the front of the panel, ideal for applications needing a low-profile design.

• Push-to-lock, pull/turn-to reset built into one switch(XN1E and XN5E); Push-to-lock, turn to reset (XN4E),
• RoHS compliant, lead free design,
• UL NIDS approved, cUL, TUV, CE compliant

Product Details:

HE2G series grip switches designed for use as deadman switches by second operators in robotic cells. 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. The HE2G is very compact and provide a comfortable hold. It's also very light operating force to ensure worry-free operation. Additional control buttons such as momentary pushbuttons, E-stop and/or key selector switch are also available.


Features:

• Compact, light-weight grip switch provides a comfortable hold
• Compact design fits comfortably in the hand
• Light operating force ensures worry-free operation
• 3-position switch with distinctive tactile feedback
• Dual enabling contacts ensure a high level of safety
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05

Product Details:

HE1G grip switches are available with or without a built-in Emergency Stop switch, and were designed for use as deadman switches by second operators in robotic cells. 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.


Features:

• Three position functionality (OFF - ON - OFF) as required for manual robotic control
• 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)
• Removable strain relief included
• Optional E-Stop built in
• 2 OFF-ON-OFF contacts plus either a monitoring or E-Stop contact
• IP66 degree of protection (watertight)
• Meets relevant ANSI RIA robotics standards
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05

Product Details:

HE1G-L grip switches are available with or without a built-in Emergency Stop switch, and were designed for use as deadman switches by second operators in robotic cells. 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. Compare to the standard HE1G, the HE1G-L has lighter operating force to On position.


Features:

• Ideally suited for use as an enabling (aka deadman) switch for robotic cells
• Contacts will not re-close when released from Off to On (pos. 3 to pos. 1)
• Lighter operating force to On position
• Optional E-Stop switch built-in
• IP66 waterproof sealing
• Meets ANSI RIA 15.06 robotics standards
• B10d (cycle): 1.0E+05
