EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON SAFETY GUARD WITH LIGHT

Why Guard an Emergency Stop?

Generally, emergency stop devices, or e-stop devices as they’re often called, need to be protected from unintentional use. This problem occurs because e-stop devices have to be located close to where people work in order to be useful. An e-stop you can’t reach when you need it may as well not be there in the first place, so emergency stops are located at ‘normal operator stations’. This often means they are located under the edge of a machine table, or on an operator control bar like that used on power presses, putting the e-stop within reach, but also in the ‘line-of-fire’ when it comes to the operator’s normal movements.
 
To prevent unintended operation, people often want to put rings, collars, or worse – covers – on or around the e-stop device to keep people from bumping the device. Some of these can be done and should be done, and others are never permitted for good reason.

KACON KEG82 KEG83 KEG85 are designed for the emergency stop button guarding purpose. Not only guarding the emergency stop button, but also providing visual alert to the operator.
