The TESZ Series are designed for use with hinged movable machine guards which must be closed for operator safety. Their tamper-resistant design and positive-opening NC contacts provide a significantly higher level of safety than conventional, spring-driven limit switches often used to monitor hinged-guard position. Their compact, low-profile design and IP65 rating make them ideal for interlocking hinged safety guards in industrial environments. Designed to mount directly on the hinged guard and its stationary frame, it is easy to install on a wide range of guard styles and sizes.
