Magnetically coded safety switches are interlocking devices which are designed to protect people and machines. Compared with electromechanical safety switches, they are used if:
– a high level of protection against tampering must be achieved
– strict hygiene requirements are to be met (e.g. in the food industry)
– a precise door guide is not possible
– machine doors are subjected to strong vibrations.
The EUCHNER safety system CMS is based on the magnetic principle. The tamper-proof coded system was specifically developed to monitor moving machine components and movable safety guards.
