Safety Interlocks and Safety Switches

SICK offer a complete range of safety interlocks and switches based on key technologies including mechanical, magnetic and RFid.  They are used for protecting movable physical guards (such as doors and gates), determining the position of dangerous movements, and the safe stop function. Using SICK equipment ensures compliance in particular with BS EN14119 and BS EN13849.

 

Electro-mechanical safety switches

Electro-mechanical safety switches and safety interlocks monitor movable physical guards both efficiently and reliably. The portfolio consists of three product groups: safety position switches, safety hinge switches. View all

 

Safety locking devices

Safety locking devices lock protective devices securely and prevent access to areas which are protected by protective devices. Safety locking devices can be relied upon to prevent people from from opening protective devices until dangerous states have passed. View all

Non-contact safety switches

Non-contact safety switches are ideal in applications where precise guidance of guards is difficult. Thanks to their design, they are extremely long-lasting devices that require minimal maintenance. View all

 

Safety command devices

Safety command devices from SICK ensure that dangerous movements are reliably stopped or critical machine functions are reliably initiated. SICK’s portfolio of safety command devices includes  four major product groups. View all
