Also known as deadman switches, these switches make sure equipment only runs if you lightly press the hand grip. If you let go or a shock tightens your grip, they cut power. Use them when you need to override a system’s safety controls to program or service equipment. For example, if you need to be in a robot's working area to troubleshoot issues.

Switches with an auxiliary actuator give you control over more components in your system. Red emergency push buttons stop additional equipment with a single push. For example, you could shut down the conveying line a robot is working around. Black push buttons and rockers turn additional equipment, such as inspection lights, on and off.

Switches with a power indicator have red and green LEDs that light up to show whether power is running to your equipment.

Switches that meet EN 418 or EN 60947-5-1 comply with European safety standards for emergency stop applications.
