IDEC Safety Switches

IDEC safety switches protect people and equipment by controlling power to a machine only when all safety guards, doors and covers are properly closed and interlocked. They are used on machine guarding, safety doors, access panels and protective covers to prevent the machine from moving when the door is open. IDEC safety switches are used in many different types of industrial automation applications where safety is a concern.
IDEC offers a variety of safety switches that include; mechanical interlock, spring-lock and solenoid-lock, compact subminiature, non-contact magnetic. All of these options make it easy to find the right level of safety, durability and monitoring needed for each type of machine.
IDEC safety switches are designed for industrial applications and offer rugged durability, high mechanical life and direct opening action to ensure positive safety operation. Most of the models are designed for high frequency usage and severe environments making them perfect for manufacturing, robotics, packaging, material handling, and automated production systems.
FAQs
What are IDEC safety switches used for?
