A complete range of switches, human-machine interfaces and safety devices. These accessories and electrical devices comply with the most important standards and requirements and are available in several configurations.
Regardless of your type of factory, it is imperative to establish a safety protocol to properly protect your employees when using your machine tools and other equipment. Here are some electrical components that can help ensure the safety of your operators.
Safety locks and switches can be used to monitor moving guards and thus control access to hazardous areas of machine tools or around them. They ensure that dangerous machine movements stop using an emergency stop when the protective device is opened. There are different operating principles, such as mechanical safety switches, cable switches, actuator safety switches, safety switches with electromagnets, switches with piston actuators, or magnetic or coded safety sensors.
Unlike conventional safety switches, safety interlock switches have an additional mechanism that keeps their protective system locked until the dangerous movements or functions of the machine in the work area have stopped. Interlock switches thus ensure the strength of the barriers when a machine is in motion. The switches can be automatic or manual, depending on the type of equipment and the company's needs. As workplace safety is a priority at PRISMONT, our machine tool protective shields have micro-safety switches.
Take complete control of your machine with our human-machine interface devices! Safety control devices are designed to monitor all safety equipment in a factory. These tools ensure the safe start-up and shutdown of all machines with hazardous areas. With these devices, it is possible to control emergency stop buttons, safety sensors, lock barriers, and many other industrial safety devices. PRISMONT control stations include emergency stop pushbuttons as well as complete control stations with start and stop functions.
Robust and reliable, PRISMONT safety foot switches are used to control dangerous movements. They function as an emergency stop function on machines where hand use is impossible or too risky. When the pedal is activated, the emergency function is triggered, locking the pedal and immediately stopping the machine, ensuring the safety of both machines and operators.
Starters are devices that control electrical power to the equipment. Starters "start" the motors, but can also stop, reverse, accelerate, and protect them.
When a device has two start-up keys, the operator must absolutely use both hands to start the machines. Sometimes both hands must remain in place throughout the use of the machine. These devices prevent a distracted operator from being injured while the machine is running. When one of the two hands is removed, the machine movement stops.
A signal tower, also called a signal light, is ideal for combining multiple types of signals into a single device and can be used alone or in groups. They are useful for providing real-time information on the status of different equipment in an area. Prismont industrial signal towers allow you to accurately indicate the status of your detection systems using lights of various colors and can be accompanied by an alarm/audible signal.
Safety laser scanners prevent any danger in the event of intrusion of an object or person into the risk area by scanning an area and detecting any intrusion into the risk area. Unlike sensitive mats, they can be installed without hindering the operator. These flexible safety solutions are ideal for protection networks and irregular spaces. Laser scanners also offer the option of protecting complex areas without the risk of damage from falling objects and can be installed in places where the installation of a physical barrier is difficult or impossible.
