ZEUS is a modular enabling switch with modern safety functions.

Avoidance of tampering incentives
👋 Thanks to the capacitive hand detection and the vibration sensor, the enabling switch detects whether it is being tampered with or actually guided in the hand of the operator:in.
⚡️ How ZEUS avoids operating errors
ZEUS uses the home sensor to detect whether it has been placed in the designated holder, or removed. Thus, the enabling switch cannot be forgotten or misplaced in the system.
These functions as well as different pushbutton options, control functions and cable configurations are possible.
When machines are controlled in a special operating mode, such as a robot for setup, enabling switches are usually used.
Often, people need to be in close proximity to or at least within the facility of a robot to perform maintenance or setup. In this case, protective devices must be lifted.
Here, the persons are in a hazardous environment, hence the enabling mode.
In this operating mode, the operator of the machine has the option of overriding certain safety devices such as protective doors by selecting the operating mode and actuating the enabling device.
The 3-step function is important here. Only in the center position does the 3-stage enabling switch release certain hazardous movements. If the operator releases the enabling switch or pushes it through to stage three, the system switches off in a safety-oriented manner.
