Two-hand control relays are safety devices used to protect operators in environments where they interact with hazardous machinery. These relays require the simultaneous pressing of two separate buttons, typically located at a safe distance from the hazardous area. This ensures that both hands remain outside the danger zone during machine operation, reducing the risk of injury. Two-hand control relays are commonly used in industries where hands-on interaction with machinery, such as presses, molding machines, and other heavy equipment, is necessary.
Key Features:
- Simultaneous Button Activation
Requires both buttons to be pressed at the same time to initiate machine operation, ensuring operator safety. - Safety Distance
Button placement ensures the operator’s hands remain clear of the machine’s moving parts, minimizing risk. - Prevents Accidental Operation
Stops machinery from starting unless both buttons are pressed, preventing accidental activation. - Fail-Safe Design
Built-in features to ensure the system remains safe even during faults or power loss. - Durable and Robust Construction
Designed to withstand industrial environments, including vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and heavy use.
Applications:
- Press Machines and Molding Equipment
Prevents operators’ hands from being caught in moving parts while controlling the machine. - Robotic Arms and Automation Cells
Ensures operators cannot start dangerous robotic movements without both hands being away from the work area. - Heavy Machinery
Provides safe control for machines that require operator interaction but pose significant risk during operation.
Two-hand control relays are an essential safety feature in industrial settings, ensuring that operators can safely interact with machinery while reducing the risk of injury during critical operations.
