Safety Interlock Switches

Safety interlock switches ensure that doors, gates, or guards are fully closed before a process begins. They help prevent accidents by stopping operations if the protective element is open.

• Operating Principle: The switch verifies that the activation key is in the correct position. If removed, the system automatically sends a stop signal.
• Industries: These switches are ideal for the food industry, where washdown and sealed equipment are common, as well as the automotive sector, where high precision and reliability are essential.

• XCSR: Safety RFID interlock switches with a high safety category (PLe Cat4).
• XCS: Various mechanical and non-contact safety interlock switches.

Cable Pull Switches

Cable pull switches provide emergency stop functionality over long distances, such as along conveyors. They are easy to install and use, making them a simple yet effective safety element.

• Operating Principle: Thanks to a long cable, an emergency stop can be activated from anywhere along its trajectory. When the cable tension changes, the switch sends a signal to halt the system.
• Industries: Perfect for logistics and warehouse automation, where long lines require quick access to safety solutions.

• XY2: Cable pull switches compliant with ISO 13850 and other international safety standards.

Light Curtains

Light curtains are ideal for protecting personnel near machinery where physical guards cannot be installed. They use invisible infrared beams to detect movement and halt equipment operations.

• Operating Principle: When the light beam is interrupted, the curtain immediately sends a signal to stop the machine. Some models include functions that allow the system to ignore specific actions, such as material movement.
• Industries: Suitable for the packaging industry, where quick access to machinery is required while preventing accidental injuries or incidents.

• XUSL4E and XUSL2E: Slim-design light curtains with varying MOS (Minimum Object Size).
• XUSL4M: Featuring integrated muting functions suitable for logistics and packaging industries.

Safety Limit Switches

Safety limit switches halt equipment operation when guard movement is detected using the switch. They are robust, compact, and available in various materials.

• Operating Principle: When a guard plate or other element presses the switch lever or plunger, the circuit signal is interrupted, causing the system to stop.
• Industries: Commonly used in metalworking and woodworking, where precise safety switch response is required in harsh environments.

• XC2J and XC3P: Compact limit switches with plastic or metal enclosures.
• 9007C: Industrial switches for heavy-duty and harsh environments.

Cloud-Connected Sensors

Cloud-connected sensors offer real-time monitoring and data analysis, aiding in predictive maintenance and faster responses to safety events.

• Operating Principle: Sensors transmit data to a cloud platform, where it is analyzed and converted into alerts sent to responsible personnel.
• Industries: Ideal for food and beverage production, where constant monitoring and system reliability are crucial.

• ServicePoint: Sensors with cloud connectivity and real-time monitoring capabilities.

Connectivity Solutions

Telemecanique Sensors also offers a wide range of connectivity solutions that simplify sensor integration into manufacturing processes. These include pre-connected plug systems, cable connections, and custom adapters.

• Operating Principle: Components ensure easy and quick installation, as well as reliable signal transmission between sensors and PLCs.
• Industries: Widely used in automation and material handling industries, where fast and reliable communication between system components is necessary.

• ZCMC and ZCK: Connectivity solutions featuring pre-assembled plugs and cables.

Telemecanique Sensors safety components combine cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions to enhance safety and productivity. These systems help reduce the risk of accidents while increasing manufacturing efficiency. Their broad applications across various industries make them indispensable in modern industrial environments.
