The series also is available as individually coded versions with more than 1,000 different coding versions, achieving coding level “high” in accordance with ISO 14119.

To this end, the switch is supplied with the corresponding actuator, which is specially adapted to the respective switch.
Manipulation by a replacement actuator is not possible.

The safety switches with separate actuators are used in all areas of production and in almost all types of machine tools. The design offers advantages particularly in situations where frequent access to the hazard area is necessary for purposes of machine actuation, fault clearance or setup.

The solenoid interlocks have been designed to prevent sliding, hinged or removable safety guards (like fences, flaps or doors) from being opened before hazardous conditions (e.g. run-on movements of rollers, chains, shafts, etc.) have been eliminated.

The individually coded versions enable the latest safety requirements to be integrated by the
machine manufacturer without intervention in an existing machine design. The identical construction forms of the individually coded versions guarantee a trouble-free replacement.
