Omega announces non-contact safety switches LPC/LMC, CPC/CMC, SPC/SMC

Nov. 17, 2016 – The Omega LPC/LMC, CPC/CMC, SPC/SMC series of coded non-contact safety switches promise to deliver top quality construction, universal designs, coded magnetic actuation, and a NEMA PW12 (IP69K) rating to fit a variety of factory automation applications.

The series is best suited for general factory automation, packaging and food processing industries. The safety switches are designed to interlock hinged, sliding or removable machine guard doors in factory automation applications and can provide an input to a safety PLC to initiate machine shutdown in an emergency situation. According to Omega, these switches are “specifically advantageous” in factory automation when poor guard alignment exists, anti-tamper sensing is required, and long life is required.
