Moving robots, AGVs, AMRs, and conveyed payloads can put a conventional e-stop out of a worker’s reach at the moment it’s needed. IDEC's AE-Stop assisted emergency stop switch addresses that with a 24V DC solenoid that drives the button into its push-latched state on a remote signal, as if a person had pressed it.

The activation signal can come from another safety device, an external sensor or controller, or a wireless system. Whether a person or the solenoid latches the switch, it can only be reset locally and manually. The switch itself is safety-rated, but the solenoid assist function is not, so remote activation supplements a designed safety function rather than replacing one.

Built on the same platform as the XW series e-stops, the switch uses a reverse energy structure, with a spring arranged to operate the e-stop if the switch is physically damaged in certain ways. It mounts in a standard 0.87 in. (22 mm) hole and carries IP65 and UL Type 4X (indoor) ratings.

Features:

• 24V DC solenoid latches the button on a remote signal from a sensor, controller, safety device, or wireless system
• Local, manual reset only, whether latched by a person or by the solenoid
• Safety-rated switch
• 1NO-2NC contacts (1 monitoring, 2 main) with push-in terminals
• Reverse energy structure operates the e-stop if the switch is damaged in certain ways
• Fits a standard 0.87 in. (22 mm) mounting hole
• IP65 and UL Type 4X (indoor) ratings
• Rated for at least 250,000 mechanical/electrical operations
• Operating force: 2.5 lbf (11 N) to push latch, 3.8 lbf (17 N) to pull reset, 2.4 lb-in (0.27 N-m) to turn reset
• Suited to new and retrofit applications
