Original Press Release:


Interlock Switch now Available with Manual Latch Release


FREMONT, CA - The T4011 heavy-duty safety interlock switch from Scientific Technologies, Inc. (STI) is now available with a manual latch release mechanism. The match mechanism locks the actuator in the switch until the release button is pulled, allowing the actuator to be removed from the switch. This feature is ideal for applications with vibrating guards or where other factors may cause unwanted removal of the actuator from the switch.

The position of the latch release button is easily changed in the field to either the front or top position of the switch. The head can be rotated to provide eight possible actuator entry positions, allowing it to easily adapt to a variety of mounting situations. The T4011's mounting pattern conforms to the globally-recognized DIN standard.

The T4011 makes remote status indication easy to implement, as it is equipped with four sets of contacts. Two sets of contacts allow dual channel safety monitoring, a third set of contacts provides for visual status, and a fourth set of contacts may be monitored with a PLC.

With headquarters in the heart of Silicon Valley, STI was founded over 30 years ago and employs more than 330 people. STI has been selected twice by Forbes and three times by Business Week as one of the "world's best small companies." STI's safety products are used to protect workers around machinery, automated equipment and industrial robots.
