Stricter safety regulations, and the need for tamper-proof safety at work, now make modern safety switches indispensable. Non-contact safety switches from SICK can be used for the safe monitoring of movable guards as well as for position monitoring.
The choice among three operating principles (magnetic, transponder and inductive) and different designs allow to select the solution that best fits the application requirements and is most efficient.
