Safety foot switches of the GFSI range enable a safe and ergonomic programming of machines and robots. As long as the operator keeps the pedal pressed, he is able to operate the machine with limited speed while the safety guard remains open. When conventional foot switches are employed, the cable restricts the flexibility of the operator, and it also is a source of danger because of the risk of stumbling.
The new variant RF GFSL 2.4 GHz-safe-b makes do without the cable. Instead, it transmits the signals via a wireless protocol developed by steute. Energy is supplied by a rechargable battery.
