STI TL8012 Safety Switch

The TL8012 series, developed by Scientific Technologies Incorporated (STI), now part of Omron, is engineered for safeguarding applications where guard doors must remain locked until specific safety criteria are fulfilled. The switch is equipped with a solenoid-operated locking mechanism that prevents the guard door from being opened while machinery is in operation, thereby mitigating the risk of accidents. The rotatable head design allows for four actuator entry positions, offering flexibility in installation to accommodate various configurations. Constructed with durable materials, including stainless steel actuators and guides, the TL8012 is designed for a minimum of one million actuations, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.

Features:

• High Holding Force: Capable of withstanding forces up to 2000 N, ensuring the guard door remains securely locked during machine operation.
• Rotatable Head: Provides four actuator entry positions to accommodate diverse installation requirements.
• Durable Construction: Incorporates stainless steel actuators and guides, designed for a minimum of one million actuations, ensuring longevity.
• Contact Configuration: Available in various contact arrangements, such as 3NC/2NO, to suit different safety circuit designs.
• Power-to-Lock Mechanism: Utilizes a solenoid to lock the guard door, requiring power to maintain the locked state, which is suitable for applications where the door should unlock in the event of a power failure.
