Fox Safety Foot-Operated Switch
Fox Gives the Operator Extra Safety
|
|
The Fox, safety foot-operated switch, is used when the operator has to have both hands free. Fox is very safe because of its unique three-position function, doubled contacts and robust safety cover. Fox has been developed for industrial applications - i.e. it has high mechanical durability. Fox is used for presses, bending machines, during adjustment of machinery, etc. Fox is available in single and double pedal versions (the double pedal is used for steering back and forth).
Safety Cover Protects Against Unintentional Actuation
A robust safety cover of metal prevents unintentional machine start by a person or falling objects, thereby fulfilling the standards which demand this. The robust safety cover of aluminum manages harsh environments.

Three Position Function
A safe three-position foot-operated switch implies that:
- Stop signal is given in the top and bottom position.
- Start/ready signal for separate start is given in a distinct middle position.
- After a stop in the bottom position a start/ready signal cannot be given until the reset knob has been affected and thereafter the pedal has been pushed into the middle position.
Safety Level
A high safety level is secured by monitoring the pedal's double contacts with one of our safety relays (see Connection Examples). Furthermore, the third 'panic' position of the pedal gives extra safety.
