Ergonomic safety solutions for machinery

17 May 2006 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Machinery equipment engineers have the option of added safeguards to their application designs, with EAO's range of high quality keylock switches that provide protection against unauthorised access and additional safety controls.

EAO understands that the vital role that human machine interfaces play in enhancing the ergonomic design of an application. A user-centred approach to design can benefit end customers in terms of a reduction in downtime that may be caused by poorly designed or operated machine controls.

The company's extensive range of keylock switches offer added protection for machine operators. Built from high quality materials and protected up to IP67, they can withstand harsh environments. They can also be supplied as flush mount for added protection against vandalism.

Available in a choice of bezel shapes including round, square and rectangular, and in a multitude of mounting sizes for either panel or PCB mount, EAO's range of keylock switches also feature options such as two or three positions, momentary and maintained and standard or maximum security Kaba Key locking.

All keys issued by EAO are numbered, so that in the event of loss they can easily be replaced.
