HE-Series

The HE-Series is a coded magnetic safety system. Fully encapsulated solid state safety switches with a slim-line control unit. Combining the ease of use and maintenance of a simple magnetic safety switch, with the improved security, performance levels and indication of Mechan’s electronic switching. Available in ABS or 316 Stainless Steel, the HE switches withstand vibration, wash down and are ideal for use in the food processing / filling and packing industries as well as many other non-locking machine guard applications.

SafeLine 4

The stainless steel & diecast Safeline 4 cable/push button operated system can be installed where no physical guard is present on conveyors and provide constant emergency stop access. This switch is made from 316 stainless steel or diecast and is suitable for external use applications.

Tongue Guard Interlocks

The Tongue Guard safety tongue interlock switch is designed to fit on hinged, lift
or sliding guards. The TG1 has two key entry points and a rotatable head, this is
movable by releasing the cover screws. By doing this, it will allow for four key
entry points.
The Tongue Guard uses force guided contacts and tamper resistant mechanism,
this allows it to be safely guarded and adhere to the machinery directive.
The TG1 safety switches are available in a robust ABS, or 316 Grade Stainless
Steel housing. They are easy to install with correct installation, these safety
switches comply with the guidelines given in EN60947-5-1.

TurnCam

TURNCAM safety switches are hinge mounted, rotating switches and are suitable for use in machine guarding applications. The Turncam operations on a 11 degree or 5 degree rotation, helping to ensure a long and trouble free operating life. Two different shaft lengths are available, 30mm or 85mm.
These safety switches are available in a robust ABS, or 316 Grade Stainless Steel housing. They are easy to install with correct installation, and these safety switches comply with the guidelines given in EN60947-5-1.

Emergency Stop Devices

The Emergency Stop units are designed to fit in manufacturing areas. The ES units can come with or without a padlockable shroud. The ES1 & ES2 can be operated by pressing the emergency stop button (Red), and it can then be reset by twisting the emergency stop button.
The ES1 & ES2 use force guided contacts, which allow them to be safely guarded and adhere to the machinery directive.
The ES1 & ES2 units are available in ABS, or 316 Stainless Steel housing. They are easy to install with correct installation, these safety switches comply with the guidelines given in EN60947-5-1.

MK-Safe Key Exchange Range

MK-Safe is the easy-to-configure trapped key interlocking system. It is suitable for various industrial safety applications. The casing of the MK-Safe range is stainless steel 316 which is designed and built to withstand harsh industrial environments. The coding system has 15,000+ different key codes available. The master coding system can be provided as an option.

Magnasafe

MAGNASAFE is a complete range of non-contact magnetically operated switches for use in safety applications. Constructed using special reed switches, encapsulated into ABS housings, these switches are tested to perform up to 1,000,000 operations at full load.
The MAGNASAFE non-contact switches are easy to fit and the 10mm+ switching distance ensures tolerance to misalignment and gate wear. They are ideal for wet, dusty, oily environments and in areas where hygiene is important.

ISIS

With the growing demand for simple, efficient and yet more secure safety systems, the ISIS system offers the ideal solution. A tamper resistant non-contact safety switch system, suitable for use in most types of machine guarding applications where guard locking is not required. The ISIS safety switches available in both ABS or 316 grade stainless steel.
Tested and approved by TUV to CAT 3 SIL 3 PLe performance the ISIS system is also UL approved for the USA.

RSS-Series

The RSS series safety switches applies radio frequency identification technology (RFID) and provides additional security with up to 4 billion unique codes. The RSS safety switches can achieve type 4 high level coding according to EN 14119 safety standard.
These safety switches are available in 5 sizes, the RDNK, RSSO, RSSK, RSSR and RSSG and are rated to IP69K for use in wet or dusty environments. Ideal for replacing standard magnetic safety switches where additional security / reliability and indication at the switch is required.

F-Series

The DIN rail mounting safety control unit can monitor up to 30 Mechan Safety Switches and/or Emergency Stop Buttons in one system. The electronic non-contact safety switches are fully encapsulated, easy to install and tolerant to misalignment.
Together the switches and control module provide a safety system capable of meeting the requirements CAT 4 SIL 3 PL-e that can be used in the harshest environments, providing long term reliability.
