According to AutomationDirect, Cumming, GA, IDEM non-contact RFID-coded safety switches from AutomationDirect are designed to provide interlock protection on hinged, sliding, or removable machine-guard doors. These devices are said to be particularly advantageous when poor guard alignment exists, when high-level anti-tamper is required, where high-hygiene requirements exist (food industry hose down applications), or where long mechanical life is crucial. When used in combination with a dual-channel safety relay or control device, the switches provide protection up to Category 4 and PLe to ISO13849-1.

♦  The new IDEM KLP-Z, KLM-Z, and KL3-Z series tongue interlock switches with guard locking and RFID coding, fit into the leading edge of machine-guard doors to provide robust guard locking while also providing a double tamper-resistant interlock mechanism. Providing position detection for moving guards, these switches remain locked until the solenoid voltage is applied to the switch. The switches can also be used in conjunction with delay timers to provide the solenoid energize signal only after a pre-determined amount of time has passed.

♦  The new IDEM LMF series stainless steel RFID coded safety switches provide a wide 10mm sensing distance; and new M18 cylindrical barrel BPF/BMF series safety switches offer high tolerance for misalignment after sensing and are suitable for all industry applications.

CE and cULus approved, all of these IDEM switches come with a 1-year warranty.
