Magnetically coded safety switches are interlocking devices that are designed to protect people and machines. Compared with electromechanical safety switches, they are used if:
- strict hygiene requirements are to be met (e.g. in the food industry)
- a precise door guide is not possible
- compact dimensions are required
The EUCHNER safety system CMS is based on the magnetic principle. The tamper-proof, coded system was specifically developed to monitor moving machine components and guards.
