Cost effective solution for machine safety
The Vital solution from Jokab Safety is a cost effective way to interconnect many types of safety devices on the same safety circuit and still achieve category 4 according to EN954-1.
The switches are enclosed in a polypropen covering, which means that the switches can be used in areas where there is a possibility of water spray and rapid change of temperature.
Eden E has been successfully used on machinery in dairies and process plant, as these areas require the machinery to be washed down with high-pressure hoses.
Eden E is made up of two components.
Adam E 10M is an active component and has a 10m cable connection, whereas Eva E is a passive component and requires no electrical connection at all.
Eden E is a noncontact switch and has a sensing distance of around 12mm.
The sensors can be mounted such they have a 360-degree possibility.
The safety switches have an LED indicator to enable to user to see what state the sensor is during alignment and operation.
Typical applications for Eden switches are - doors and hatches and position control.
Eden safety switches interface with a Vital 1 control unit to offer the user a safety category 4 solution.
