Light CurtainsModel SS |
Overview of Model SS The Model SS is an infrared safety light curtain that is designed to the IEC 61496 standard. When properly installed, it protects the machine operator by passing an invisible infrared light beam across an area to be guarded and examining whether or not the light beam(s) are blocked. If the light beam(s) are blocked, monitored solid state outputs will open, issuing a “STOP” command to the machines normally closed (N.C.) “STOP” circuit. The System is composed of a transmitting unit (EMITTER), and a receiving unit (RECEIVER). The entire system is control reliable Category 4 (per IEC 61496). A single fault anywhere within the Model SS will not prevent at least one of the solid state outputs from opening up, (allowing a “STOP” command) when either a beam is broken or an internal fault occurs. |

Overview of Model CE
The Model CE is an infrared safety light curtain that is designed to the IEC 61496 standard. When properly installed, it protects the machine operator by passing an invisible infrared light beam across an area to be guarded and examining whether or not the light beam(s) are blocked. If the light beam(s) are blocked, monitored solid state outputs will open, issuing a “STOP” command to the machines normally closed (N.C.) “STOP” circuit. The System is composed of a transmitting unit (EMITTER), and a receiving unit (RECEIVER). The entire system is control reliable Category 4 (per IEC EN 954-1). A single fault anywhere within the Model CE will not prevent at least one of the solid state outputs from opening up, (allowing a “STOP” command) when either a beam is broken or an internal fault occurs. |
Model CA |
Overview of Model CA Cascading safety light curtains provide the user the ability to connect additional sets of light curtains by daisy chaining multiple emitters and receivers together. The interconnecting cables are factory supplied and the user defines length. The cascading of safety light curtains provides mulitple areas of guarding in any plane (X, Y, Z), while utilizing the control reliable dual safety outputs from the Category 4 safety device for the safety outputs to the machine control. The ability to guard multiple areas on irregular shaped machines by cascading safety light curtains reduces wiring and provides a lower cost yet effective machine guarding solution. The Model CA Cascading Safety Light Curtain is an infrared safety light curtain that is designed to the IEC 61496 standard. When properly installed, it protects the machine operator by passing an invisible infrared light beam across an area to be guarded and examining whether or not the light beam(s) are blocked. If the light beam(s) are blocked, monitored solid state outputs will open, issuing a “STOP” command to the machines normally closed (N.C.) “STOP” circuit. The CA System is composed of transmitting units (EMITTERS), and receiving unit (RECEIVERS). The entire system is control reliable Category 4 (per IEC 61496). A single fault anywhere within the Model CA will not prevent at least one of the solid state outputs from opening up, (allowing a “STOP” command) when either a beam is broken or an internal fault occurs. |
Model PPG |
Overview of Model PPG Perimeter Guards utilize wider beam spacing than safety light curtains protecting personnel from “pinch point” or “point of operation” hazard zones. Perimeter Guards are designed to detect when an operator or passerby penetrates the perimeter of a hazardous zone. The Perimeter Guard safety light curtain will then initiate a stop signal to the machine control. Perimeter Guards also incorporate latching safety relays. This requires a manual reset after each penetration into the guarded zone. This is an additional safety feature to protect the intruder from an inadvertent machine actuation while the intruder is within the work area. |
Safety Interlock Switches and Rope Pull Switches
The GKM Series Global Miniature Safety Key Interlock Switch is designed for use on machinery where key removal brings the machine to an immediate safe condition. The GKM Series provides enhanced operator safety when added to hinged or sliding guard doors, screens and protective covers on enclosures. Key sold separately.
|
The GKN Series safety interlock switches provide superior reliability in a compact, cost-effective package size.
|
The GKE Series safety key-operated switch provides superior reliability for safety hard guarding applications in a compact, cost-effective package. The GKE conforms to IEC 60947-5-1 and carries the cULus, CE, and CCC approvals.
|
The GKS product marks a significant new product class for your Total Safety Solution. Our switching expertise has been applied to a cost-effective, trapped key safety interlock switch. This product allows OEMs to hold a door or gate closed while a hazard still exists.

The GK Series Dual Entry Key Operated Safety Interlock Switch is designed for use on machinery where key removal brings the machine to an immediate safe condition. It provides enhanced operator safety when added to hinged or sliding guard doors, screens and protective covers on enclosures. Key sold separately.
|
The GKR/GKL Series Dual Entry Solenoid Key Operated Safety Interlock Switch is designed for use on machinery where instant stop and access to the machinery is either impossible (due to the momentum of the machine) or impractical (due to tool or machine damage or scrapped product if the current machine cycle is interrupted). The switch incorporates a manual override feature that allows removal of the key for emergency access. Key sold separately.

The GSS Series has standard mounting and characteristics that are globally available and accepted. The welded NC contacts will separate (vital security in safety applications). It provides a range of actuation methods for detecting conditions in guarding and machine status applications. Also, this switch is suitable for inductive switching and safety relay interfaces.
|
The 1CPS Cable Pull Safety Switch is intended for use in applications with the cable runs up to 76 m [250 ft], such as conveyor runs within defined system zones. It is a cost-effective means of providing this emergency stop signal compared to multiple emergency stop push buttons.

The FF3 is an 30 mm barrel (thread) mounting, magnetically actuated safety switch with up to two safety contacts and one indicator contact. The barrel, thread, mount design is easy to install to the frame of a machine guard and allows for flush mounting, reducing potential switch damage and space constraint issues. Sealed to IP67 enabling use in most harsh environments.

Honeywell FFS switches are designed to be tamper-proof, standalone safety switches that can often be used to switch relays, contacts, or safety relays directly. By removing the separate control unit, Honeywell has made it possible to use its electronic switching technology in smaller, simpler safety systems. The FFS is often suitable for use on its own, for lower category safety systems, providing two volt-free outputs (2NC or 1NC/1NO). It can be used in conjunction with safety relays where a higher category of performance is required. For ease of operation, the fixed switch has a green LED, giving true indication of FFS safety switch contacts.
