Foremost Electronics offers an extensive range of safety and cable access solutions targeted at industrial and construction equipment and services.
The company supply a broad range of rugged, high-reliability emergency stop switches from the IDEC e-stop series. This high-reliability range has patented third-generation safety technology and offers optimal safety by conforming to international approvals: UL, TUV, ATEX, CE, and CCC.
Its nine different series of emergency stop switches provide an outstanding range and incorporate a very broad variety of options including three plunger diameters (30mm, 40mm and 60mm), three plunger colours (yellow, red and grey), the choice of illuminated versions, 16mm, 22mm and 30mm panel cut-outs, several methods of connection, four types of reset functions covering twist, pull, both (when needed) or key, decreased size and provide higher flexibility in the number of contacts, from one to four with normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) variants.
With user safety being vital, the switch company has developed two patented technologies that go further than the current stringent standards. Many versions are fitted with 'safe brake action technology' assuring fail-safe operation even if the switch actuator is not correctly positioned, has been damaged or is detached. This technology is particularly helpful in emergency stop switches that are in highly prominent positions or which feature a detachable contact block and are more likely to be accidentally damaged.
Alan Vincent, sales director of Foremost, comments: “Our emergency stop switches and cable access systems are ideal for industrial and construction equipment and services. Safe, reliable and easy to find and use emergency stop switches have many applications on vehicles, machinery and site access. Icotek cable gland products offer rugged, simple to use cable and pneumatic access for terminated or unterminated cables for both site equipment and fixed installations.”
