Non-contact Magnetic Safety Switches monitor safety guards, movable barrier guards, and perimeter guard access doors in high risk areas
Rockford Systems, LLC., a premier provider of machine safeguarding products and services, is bringing added safety to the factory floor with a new line of non-contact magnetic switches that ensure a machine's chip deflection shield is properly positioned between the operator and machine's point of operation hazard while running. Chips are very sharp and can cause serious, sudden injuries to the operator without the shield in place.
"In the event a protective shield is out of position, our switch will prevent the machine from starting," said Matt Brenner, Vice President of Sales for Rockford Systems, LLC. "In addition, if the shield is moved out of position while the machine is running, the safety switch will send a stop signal, preventing use until the shield is moved back where it belongs."
