| Often the need arises for a device to provide a signal indicating that a door has been closed or that a machine guard is in place before a machine can be turned on or a sequence of operations can begin. While a standard limit switch would probably be able to do this function, the possibility exists that the unit could be false tripped or false actuated either by accident or deliberately, thereby posing a danger to the person operating the machine. In response to this problem, many switch manufacturers offer what is known as a key interlock switch. These switches look and operate similar to standard limit switches except for the operating heads. Instead of a rotary or plunger operating head, there is a key slot. LS-Titan™ key interlock switches by Eaton’s electrical sector are available in both NEMA® and DIN style housings. NEMA style key interlock switches feature durable metal housings, which remove power to the machine when the guard is opened. Technical Specifications Broad family of safety interlock switches in industry-standard enclosure sizes: miniature DIN; full-size DIN; and larger, solenoid key interlocks providing the highest degree of personnel and process protection Large selection of actuators (keys), including those for sliding doors, swing doors and doors that do not close precisely Miniature DIN models have a five-way adjustable head, while full-size DIN models have four-way adjustable heads Fully safety-rated as interlocking devices per EN 1088, with safety function by positive opening contacts per IEC/EN 60947-5-1 Door-flap and door-hinge safety switches provide a unique solution when actuators (keys) cannot be used IP65 degree of protection |
