Simplicity of design is the key to providing years of maintenance-free operation. Available in both electromechanical and pneumatic versions to eliminate interface problems and allow ease of installation.
Readily installed on all Black & Webster/Air-Hydraulics equipment or that of other manufacturers.
The Protectoswitch is supplied with a straight 24" long aluminum probe that must be shaped to the configuration of both the lower and upper tooling. Plastic sleeves are available in 1 1/2" and 2 1/4" and 3" diameters for adapting to the end of the probe.
Sequence of Operation
Upon activation the air cylinder retracts, the probe arm falls to the work area allowing the spring loaded switch with roller to enter the detent on the probe shaft causing an electrical output signal to cycle the machine. The Protectoswitch valve is released allowing the probe arm to retract to full up position before a subsequent operation is permitted.
