- Anwendungsumgebungen & Branchenfälle
✅ Recommended Applications
- Essen & Getränk: Guard door monitoring on filling & Verpackungsmaschinen; stainless construction resists corrosion, IP67 washdown compliant to FDA rules.
- Pharmazeutisch: Safety interlock for cleanroom equipment; non‑contact design eliminates abrasive dust generation from mechanical friction.
- Automobilbau: Safety perimeter doors for robotic cells; generous mounting offset tolerances suit frequent door cycling.
- Wasseraufbereitung: Interlock for pump compartment access doors; waterproof anti‑corrosion housing for damp environments.
- Verpackungsmaschinen: Safety protection for heat sealers & labellers; contactless construction extends operational lifespan.
- Werkzeugmaschinen: Guard doors for CNC centres & stamping presses; positively opening safety contacts protect operator safety.
❌ Restricted / Forbidden Applications
- Strong Magnetic Field Zones: Close proximity to large electromagnets or heavy motors may cause false switching.
- High‑Temperature Locations: Ambient over 70℃ degrades magnetic element performance and contact service life.
- High‑Pressure Jet Washing: IP67 does not withstand direct >100bar high‑pressure spray cleaning.
- Mechanical Locking Requirement: No built‑in lock mechanism; select locked‑body 440G series for locked access applications.
- Explosion Hazard Areas: Non‑Ex rated; specify ATEX certified explosion‑proof safety switches.
