Safety switch includes relay
The Furtif AMX is a standalone non-contact coded safety switch with internal control.
It is designed with two independent and interactive coded electronic systems. So that should one of these systems be defective or compromised, the system will shut down in a fail-safe mode.
Comitronic claims that the Furtif AMX is the first switch in the world to have internal automatic failure monitoring, with an ultra-compact size and a very competitive price. The AMX's method of failure detection consists of self-monitoring of the closure of one of the contacts of the safety line. If the door or guard is opened or if the system fails, the change in state is detected and prevents the coding system from communicating the information to restart the machine until the door or cover is closed again.
The company claims that the Furtif AMX can be used to replace any conventional mechanical switches. As a standalone unit the Furtif AMX is approved to category 2/3 in EN954-1, and is approved to category 4 when used in conjunction with an external safety relay.
The Furtif AMX is available in polycarbonate housing and there is also a 316L stainless-steel version especially for the agro-food industry. m
