Industrial Electronic Enabling Switches

An enabling switch is a physical switch which must be operated prior to a function taking place. All our industrial electronic enabling switches work as live-man switches meaning the circuit is off-on-off, this is the safest method for operating dangerous equipment. If an operator is not pressing the enabling switch the machine is unable to function, once pressed partway the machine will begin to operate. If for any reason the operator releases the enabling switch the machine will stop. Or with the use of a live-man switch if the operator pressed more firmly, due to shock or panic, the machine will also stop.
