Foot switches from the FS safety series
for maximum safety when operating hazardous machinery
The FS safety series are large foot switches that are equipped with protection and safety options and therefore offer maximum safety when operating hazardous machinery.
In some areas, the use of safety foot controls is prescribed by the employers' liability insurance associations and trade supervisory authorities for effective accident prevention. Long-term studies have shown that in an emergency situation, the machine operator paradoxically does not take his foot off the pedal, but shifts his weight forward and supports himself all the more. Based on this fact, a safety foot switch was developed that compensates for this behavior.
