IDEC Harness Switches: high-security handheld switches for robotic applications

IDEC handheld switches are Off-On-Off type handheld switches specifically designed for applications where the operator is located in a danger zone, such as a robot work area. The Off-On-Off functionality ensures a high level of safety, based on human behaviour studies showing that in a panic situation, a person can either squeeze or let go of the switch. IDEC grip switches are available in standard and light-touch models, as well as compact sizes to ensure hand comfort. Models with additional buttons are also available, such as emergency stop button, interlock switches or versions with indicator lamp.
