Norstat, Inc. is excited to introduce the Duelco Safety Solutions line of 2 Hand Control Stations with E-Stop button. When a potentially dangerous process requires a synchronous action by both hands to release or maintain the operation of a machine these 2-hand control stations will effectively assure the protection of the operator.
The PCB3 Control Station has a smelted-aluminum cover with a protection lid over each pushbutton and are available with reserved holes for up to 4 additional pushbuttons. The bottom base is cast aluminum with a central opening of 200×90 mm for cable entry with a 2 mm thick rubber seal between the base and cover to protect the terminals against dust, oil and water. The protection rating for the PCB3 is IP65 with supplied pushbuttons.
Also available for the PCB3 is the new TST-4 Hand Sensor Actuator which is ergonomically designed to eliminate the hand, wrist, and arm stresses associated with mechanical push buttons. Typical mechanical push buttons require 2lbs of pressure to actuate where the TST-4 requires absolutely no physical pressure to operate. They have LED indicator lights to display “power on” and “output activated” modes and are EN-60204-1 compliant .
