Schmersal Distributor
Saftey switches with separate actuators are widely used in production. They are used in almost all types of machine tools. The reason for this is that Schmersal saftey switches offer certain benefits when frequent access to the danger point is required for the purpose of operating machinery, repairing faults, or setting-up. Saftey switches are suitable for monitoring the position of hinged, sliding, and especially for removable safety guards, which need to be closed to ensure the necessary operational saftey. Schmersal Safe switching and monitoring products include:
- Safety switch
- Solenoid interlock
- Door handle actuator
- Position switch
- Safety switch for hinged guards
- Safety sensors
- Emergency stop switches
- Control panels & Two hand control panels
- Safety light barriers / curtains / grids
- Enabling device
- Tactile sensor
In the “safe signal processing” section you will find safety relay modules for various safety technology applications (e.g. for emergency stop and guard door monitoring) as well as centralized programmable safety controllers and decentralized field bus systems. Such as a modular concept for safety functions control on small machines and other products which include:
- Guard door monitors
- Output expanders
- Multi-function safety modules
- Fail-safe standstill monitors
- Fail-safe delay timer
- Input expander
- Safety control modules
- Programmable safety controllers
Schmersal was one of the pioneers during the development of non-contact proximity switches in the 70s. Today, Schmersal offers a broad range of position switches. The continuous develpement from Schmersal helped to increase the efficiency of manufacturing process and are suitable for an array of applications in a wide range of sectors, from lift switchgear to heavy industry.

Overview
For more than 60 years, Schmersal has provided man-machine safeguarding solutions to industry - offering the largest range of safety switching appliances and systems worldwide - for the protection of human life and machine.
Schmersal interlock safety switches and controllers satisfy a vast array of safety applications and challenges resulting in a safer workplace, safer machines, reduced liability, improved productivity, lower insurance costs, and compliance with OSHA, ANSI & CE. More stringent standards being adopted are evidence of the increased emphasis being given to employee safety in the workplace. Conventional devices traditionally used as safety interlocks do not meet contemporary requirements and consequently when used in such applications, are unsafe.
