Enabling Switches

HE1B Enabling Switch

The HE1B is small, lightweight and highly reliable. It is ideally suited for use in robotic teaching pendants and complies to major industry regulations. It provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.

• Three position functionality (OFF-ON-OFF)
• Ideally suited for use as enabling (aka "deadman") switch on teaching pendants
• Positive action contacts "On" (position 2) to "Off" (position 3) ensure no contact welding (per EN 60947-5-1 / IEC60947-5-1)
• Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)

HE2B Enabling Switch

HE2B redundant, or double basic switches have multiple contacts for extra reliability, and meet all major robotics industry requirements. Off-On-Off functionality provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.

• Three position functionality (OFF-ON-OFF)
• Positive action contacts "On" (position 2) to "Off" (position 3) ensure no contact welding (per EN 60947-5-1 / IEC60947-5-1)
• Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)
• Variety of contact configurations (up to two OFF-ON-OFF and two push monitor and two return monitor)
• Available with or without rubber cover (cover provides IP65 watertight seal)

HE3B

The HE3B enabling switch mounts into a standard 16mm panel cut out, and it has most of the same features as IDEC's other enabling switches. The Off-On-Off functionality provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.

• Three position functionality (OFF-ON-OFF)
• Snap acting contacts from Off - On (position 1 to 2)
• Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)
• Available with or without rubber cover (cover provides IP65 watertight seal)

HE1G

HE1G grip switches are available with or without a built-in Emergency Stop switch, and were designed for use as "deadman" switches by second operators in robotic cells. The Off-On-Off functionality provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.

• Three position functionality (OFF - ON - OFF) as required for manual robotic control
• Positive action contacts "On" (position 2) to "Off" (position 3) ensure no contact welding (per EN 60947-5-1 / IEC60947-5-1)
• Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)
• Removable strain relief included
• Optional E-Stop built in
• 2 OFF-ON-OFF contacts plus either a monitoring or E-Stop contact
• IP66 degree of protection (watertight)
• Meets relevant ANSI RIA robotics standards
