Emergency Stop Device ES

EUCHNER Emergency Stop Devices ES… as per EN ISO 13850 the emergency stop function is intended to avert an impending hazard for personnel, damage to machine or work in progress, or to alleviate existing hazards, and that is to be triggered by a single user action. The e-stops are required to be a red mushroom-head button with a yellow background and are generally only allowed to provide safety in addition to the directly acting safety functions (i.e. safety switches on safety doors). The Euchner emergency stops come with very innovative technological features. The ES…-XW have contact block monitoring to check whether the switching elements fitted are actually all correctly seated in the switch. If the switching elements should come loose unintentionally, an e-stop command is triggered automatically by the detaching switching elements. The ES…-XN have a protective collar that makes it possible to fit a padlock when the mushroom-head button is pressed. As a result it is not possible to pull the control back out. This is to protect personnel who must work in the danger area inside a machine with simple and effective protection against inadvertent power up of the machine. Reset for these models can be done by either turning or pulling the mushroom-head.
