1300500229

1300500229 is a high performance, optically activated non-contact safety switch designed to protect personnel from hazardous machinery. It is used as a guard in safety circuits to monitor and control hazardous machinery. When the machine is in motion, the switch must be closed to allow the safety circuit to remain effective. If an operator passes across the detection field, the switch remains open and the safety circuit is broken, stopping the machine from injuring or killing them.

The safety switch is sensor-based and contains an internal switch mechanism that is activated by light reflection. The reflector and emitter module is installed in the safety switch and detects when an intruder enters into the detection field and breaks the light beam between them. When the light beam is broken, it trips the internal switch mechanism, which in turn causes the circuit to be broken and the machine to shut down.

1300500229 safety switches are used in a variety of industries that involve machines or automated processes that require personnel to be in close proximity. As an optically activated switch, it is ideal for applications such as lathes, saws, grinding machines, and tools with rotating blades where physical contact with the operator is not feasible. It is also useful for conveyor lines, packaging machines, presses, robotic cells, and other hazardous machinery where an operator would be in close proximity for any part of the process.

The working principle of 1300500229 is based on the reflective property of materials. The switch utilizes an emitter and a reflector that when aligned in the same direction create a beam of light which reflects back when a person passes into the designated area of the sensor. The block of the detected reflective beam triggers an optocoupler connected to an internal switch mechanism in the safety switch that will shut off the machine preventing any potential hazardous scenarios.

To ensure the highest level of safety, the switch must be incorporated into a safe zone circuit. The circuit can be modified to meet the specific requirements of the application and provide a level of redundancy to the system, so that the machine might still operate safely in the event of an unexpected failure.

1300500229 is a highly effective safety switch, designed for maximum safety and ease of use. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for providing personnel safety in applications that involve hazardous machinery. By using an optically-activated non-contact switch, it provides a flexible and reliable solution to ensure operator safety.
