Machine Safety Door

Window areas allow easy monitoring of integrated safety limit switches.

Machine safety door.

Depending on the application two control systems which offer a broad spectrum of speeds power supplies and options for safety devices. Safety door switches interlock switches detect the opening of guards or doors for prevention of access to hazardous areas and safely stop machines. It contains common process generated hazards such as light debris fluid splatter mist weld smoke sparks and intense flash. They send a signal to the machine control system if the guard has been opened removed or out of position.

These industrial safety doors are designed to restrict access to dangerous robot machine movement while containing the process and offering greater protection for the machine operator. Safety switches monitor doors gates and other movable physical guards that separate personnel from a hazard. A comprehensive range of optional accessories allows for varying safety levels and locking systems as well as doors adapted to meet specific requirements. Door switches without guard locking monitor the state of guards or covers.

While that may be admirable and simplify future compliance that alone doesn t answer the question about the safety of using two interlock switches on a machine access door. It s intended to safely isolate hazardous operations from other industrial processes material equipment and people while still allowing access to it. Vf automated machine safety door. Door without a control system is possible.

Robotic integrators and oem machine builders please call 866 852 1500 to contact our machine guarding specialists. Non contact safety switches work in easy to deploy pairs where a coded switch mounted on a frame detects the presence or absence of an actuator mounted on a door or other mechanical guard. Machine safety technology safety door switches omron s door switches detect the opening of guards or doors to prevent unauthorized access to hazardous areas and ensure the safe implementation of emergency equipment stoppages. Most safety experts agree that using two standard interlock switches or a safety rated interlock switch with dual contacts satisfies the redundancy requirement for cat 3 or 4 or pl c d or e rated hazards.

Integrated safety limit switches connect the door with the machine. The safety door reduces the amount of buffer space needed for light curtains to create a safety zone and lessens machine footprint.
