Wireless enabling switch

26 October 2011 Switches, Relays & Keypads

The SAFEMASTER W wireless enabling switch from DOLD is designed for safe operation and disconnection in the case of dangerous situations.

It can be used for various applications and allows maximum mobility, while fulfilling the safety requirements up to PL e/Cat 4 to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 to EN 61508. It is also TÜV approved.

In automated production plants, safety equipment makes sure that the user does not enter a dangerous area during automatic operation. Often, people have to work in a dangerous area in a special operating mode during setup, test, programming and maintenance. In such a situation, the 3-position radio controlled enabling switch provides the required safety.

In a dangerous situation the operator presses the button either fully or releases it, and the machine immediately goes into a safe state. In addition the device has a clear display with 4 configurable pushbuttons for up to 20 control functions. The functions of the device can be adapted easily to the actual application. The switch is ergonomically designed with a large display and comfortable single-hand operation.

Applications include setup mode and maintenance in robot cells and automatic storage systems, as well as manual operation in machine areas and automated production sequences with a high danger potential.
