Safety Switches

In industrial and commercial applications, safety switches are vital components that help to ensure the security of both equipment and personnel. These devices closely monitor the operation of machines and come into play if something goes wrong by stopping the machinery to protect everyone in the area. Safety limit switches, magnetic safety switches, and safety interlock switches are just a few of the types of safety switches used in machine safety applications. The design and operation of these devices and their proper application in particular scenarios is what makes the workplace safer.

The machine safety systems make it possible for machines to work safely with human operators. All the safety conditions must be met before the machinery can operate. What prevents the machinery from starting when those conditions are not met? These safety interlock switches interlock! When you think of something being interlocked, think of it being caught between two secure but movable components. You know that it can't move left or right and therefore can't go forward. That's what safety interlock switches do. They prevent the machine from starting when we don't want it to start and allow it to start when we do want it to start, using all of these components in which the human operators can reach and changing the state of those components, when it's in their favor.
