I don’t know about you, but I happen to like have fingers, arms and for that matter all of my body parts. My job does not put me in situations where I may lose body parts. Of course sometimes I lose my mind, OK more than sometimes, at least once a day, but that is not the same risk as those of you working in industrial settings.

No matter what industry you work in, there will be inherent risk. If you happen to work with a cardboard bailing machine you are aware this can be a very dangerous machine. You must make sure  all safety features are functioning properly on all baling and compacting machines. A key safety feature is an enabling switch. These switches are designed to operate in only one position causing a stop condition in any other position. In hazardous locations, the safety guard may need to be enabled. An enabling switch allows machine operation only when specific procedures have been met. These machines must only be run when all safety interlocks are engaged. Please keep all of your fingers and other body parts. Enabling switches can help. 

We offer a variety of switches from Euchner and Idec. We have simple on/off switches as well as switches that offer E-stop, control pushbuttons, key selector switch and LED’s. Marshal Wolf Automation is an industrial automation distributor. We can provide switches, monitoring relays, as well as many other items.  Visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com or contact us at sales@wolfautomation.com. We will be happy to help you find what you are looking for, as well as helping you to keep all of those body parts!
