Product catalog summary

Overview
This document provides comprehensive information on enabling switches, focusing on their specifications, applications, and safety features. These switches are crucial for ensuring operator safety during machine operation, especially in hazardous environments.

Enabling Switches

Definition: A 3-position switch (OFF-ON-OFF) that allows machine operation only when lightly pressed and held in the middle position, ensuring safety by disabling operation when released or further depressed.
Applications: Commonly used in teach pendants for robots to protect operators from unpredictable motions.

HE1B Series Basic Enabling Switch

Key Features: 3-position functionality, positive action contacts, lightweight, and reliable.
Specifications: Conforms to international standards, operates within -25 to +60°C, and has a mechanical life of at least 1,000,000 operations.
Protection: IP40 excluding terminal part, with recommended short circuit protection.

HE2B Series Redundant Enabling Switch

Key Features: Offers redundant contacts for enhanced reliability, available with or without a rubber cover for IP65 protection.
Specifications: Similar to HE1B but includes additional monitoring contacts and higher mechanical life.

HE3B Series Pushbutton Enabling Switch

Key Features: Snap acting contacts, available with or without rubber cover, ensuring high safety standards.
Specifications: Conforms to similar standards as HE1B and HE2B, with a focus on pushbutton operation.

General Information
The document includes part numbers, installation instructions, and detailed specifications for each switch type, ensuring users can select the appropriate switch for their needs.

Additional Models

HE3B, HE5B, and HE1G Models: Designed for safety applications, particularly in environments requiring manual robotic control.
Specifications: Conform to standards such as IEC60947-5-1, EN60947-5-1, and UL508, with specific temperature and humidity ranges and defined mechanical and electrical life spans.
HE5B Series: Offers IP65 protection with a waterproof rubber cover and mounts in a 16mm round hole.

Operating Characteristics
The switches feature a 3-position OFF-ON-OFF operation, with specific force requirements for each position. The HE5B series requires a light force to maintain position 2, facilitating ease of use. The operating force and stroke vary depending on whether the rubber cover is used.

Installation and Wiring
Proper installation is crucial to maintain the waterproof performance of the switches. The document advises against penetrating the rubber cover and provides guidelines for mounting panel thickness and soldering. Recommended wire sizes and torque specifications are also provided to ensure safe and effective installation.

Safety and Use Precautions
The document emphasizes the importance of following installation specifications to prevent electric shock or fire. It also highlights the need for periodic checks to ensure the switches are functioning correctly, especially when the rubber boot is used. The switches should be connected to a monitoring device for maximum reliability.

Accessories
Replacement parts such as rubber covers and lock nut tools are available, with specific part numbers and materials listed for each accessory.

Key Features
The HE1G series is noted for its ergonomic design and high safety level, meeting ANSI RIA 15.06 robotics standards. It includes optional features like an E-Stop switch and momentary pushbutton, with IP66 waterproof sealing.

Enabling Dead ManӔ Switches What is an enabling switch? An enabling switch is a 3-position (OFF-ON-OFF) switch to allow a machine operation only when the switch is lightly pressed and held in the middle position (position 2). Because it disables machine operation when released (position 1) or further depressed (position 3) by a panicked operator, the safety of operators is ensured.Because operators use pendants in hazardous environments performing teach-ing, system changeover, and maintenance of robots, they must have protection against unpredictable motion of robots, and therefore teach pendants...
