Application
A typical application of KS powersafe electrical switch
is machine guarding. It is usually used in combination
with an access interlock such as the Salus for part body
access or an access interlock with an exchange key for
full body access control such as AIE.
The KS breaks the machine safety circuit, ensuring
a machine is shut down when the key is turned and
removed. The key can then be taken to the Salus
automativ access interlock to enable access to the
machine.
The machine cannot be restarted until the door is closed,
the bolt is trapped in the access interlock and the key is
removed and taken to the KS key switch.
