Applications

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 automatic 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.
