Coded non-contact safety switches

They are designed to interlock hinged, sliding or removable machine guard doors in factory automation applications and can provide an input to a safety PLC to initiate machine shutdown in an emergency situation. Safety switches like these are specifically advantageous in factory automation when poor guard alignment exists, anti-tamper sensing is required, and long life is required (no moving or touching parts). Suitable industries include general factory automation, packaging and some food processing.
