Machine Safety switches have the task of preventing the operation of a machine in the case of a potential hazard. This task is defined in EN 1088 (Safety of machinery. Interlocking devices associated with guards. Principles for design and selection). For this purpose the safety circuit must be opened by the safety switch. Safety switches are therefore key elements of an interlocking device. In general, a differentiation is made between safety switches with safety function (design type 1 safety switches) and safety switches with separate actuator (design type 2 safety switches).
