'''Enabling Switches''' are designed to operate in only one position, causing a stop condition in any other position . In hazardous locations, the safety guarding may need be disabled. An enabling switch allows for the machine operation to occur under these conditions. Enabling switches ensure that even critical machine functions are performed safely. They are used when work has to be performed in the hazardous area in setup operating mode. All enabling switches are configured as 3-stage switches, i.e., movements can only be activated in the middle position because this is the only position in which all contacts are closed.Enabling Switches are switches for workers who operate machines manually in the hazard zone during robot teaching, process changing and performing maintenance. | |||
