Product Description
. . . . . Keyence GS-71PC Safety Interlock Switch, Power-To-Lock, Standard Type, PNP, M12 Connector Type
GS Series Safety Interlock Switches
Locking Type - Prevent unintended access to hazardous areas, and costly machine stoppage, by locking these units during machine operation.
Non-Contact Type - Confirm all access points are closed during machine operation and trigger appropriate machine stoppage if any of them are opened.
Compact Size - Both models feature small physical footprints to ensure they are able to be integrated into any machine. The unobtrusive designs help to increase mounting versatility and also prevent tampering or potential damage.
Robust Construction - The locking type ensures operators cannot forcibly enter hazardous areas by maintaining an impressive 2000N holding force when locked. The non-contact type features a durable metal housing that ensures lasting operation even when exposed to direct impacts.
Highly Visible Indicators - Easily recognize the open/close status of all access points with just a quick glance. With their large size, high brightness, and angular cut, the GS Series built-in indicators can be seen from a distance and from multiple directions for instant status identification.
Direct and Flexible Installation - Mounting has never been easier. Both the locking type and the non-contact type can be directly mounted to a machine frame with their built-in mounting holes. Along with this, both types can be rotated to accommodate any door style.
Articulated Actuator - The GS Series locking type models provide a level of flexibility that is unmatched by other locking type interlocks on the market. Not only do they feature a fully articulated locking bolt, but they also offer beveled entry points to ensure mating even as a door sags.
Stable and Reliable Detection - The GS Series non-contact type models help prevent nuisance trips and machine stoppage due to improper closure, vibration, door sag, and more. This is because these models offer a forgiving ON-OFF range of up to 18 mm (0.7"), ensuring reliable detection and safe machine operation.
Variety of Dedicated Brackets - It is no longer necessary to fabricate costly brackets for your safety interlocks. From robust designs to slim profiles, the GS Series provides a range of dedicated brackets that will fit a variety of machine setups.
Simplified Wiring Through Cascading - Wiring has never been simpler or easier than with the GS Series and its built-in cascading function. Connect together safety interlocks throughout the machine and cut the total number of safety outputs down to a single pair of OSSDs.
Additional I/O For Monitoring - Even when several units are cascaded together, it is possible to quickly identify which access point is open using an additional auxiliary output from each safety interlock. These outputs can be tied to a PLC, HMI, light, etc. to easily identify the open access point.
No Additional Relay Necessary - The GS Series enables all-in-one safety wiring by utilizing two OSSD safety outputs along with EDM and manual reset built into specific models. This eliminates the need for a dedicated safety interlock relay or control box, as these GS models can be wired directly to a safety circuit.
E-Stop Compatible - Reduce wiring even further by integrating E-Stops into your safety interlock system. Specific GS models offer safety inputs that can be used to place E-Stops directly in series with the safety interlocks. This helps to further reduce wiring while maintaining safety.. Keyence.
