HE1G Grip Switch
HE1G Grip Switch

HE1G grip switches are available with or without a built-in Emergency Stop switch, and were designed for use as "deadman" switches by second operators in robotic cells. The Off-On-Off functionality provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.

Key Features
  • Three position functionality (OFF - ON - OFF) as required for manual robotic control
  • Positive action contacts "On" (position 2) to "Off" (position 3) ensure no contact welding (per EN 60947-5-1 / IEC60947-5-1)
  • Contacts will not close when released from "Off" (pos. 3) to "Off" (pos. 1) (per IEC60204-1 ; 9.2.5.8)
  • Removable strain relief included
  • Optional E-Stop built in
  • 2 OFF-ON-OFF contacts plus either a monitoring or E-Stop contact
  • IP66 degree of protection (watertight)
  • Meets relevant ANSI RIA robotics standards
