Transporters in harsh outdoor environments can effectively indicate the direction of goods and perform system control. In this equipment, the transported items can be counted through limit switches. In addition, the switch can also be used to ensure accurate positioning of materials, and once a problem is detected, it will sound an alarm or suspend the belt.
Safety switch: The rope limit switch is an emergency stop switch that controls the supply of emergency stop rope to the conveyor gap or along the conveyor. This type of limit switch has high reliability and visibility to ensure the safe use of rope pulling equipment, and then maintain the safety of operators working in the vicinity of the transportation system.
Risk area switch: Similar to switch 1, but enclosed in a sealed housing to avoid the risk of explosion caused by sparks or discharges. This type of switch is commonly used for detecting the orientation of doors or turnstiles in outdoor, above ground, and potential explosive environments, such as grain conveyors and oil and gas use.
Safety and risk area switch: This type of switch is designed with an explosion-proof enclosure and is commonly used in outdoor, above ground, and potential explosive environments. Once the operator triggers the risk zone switch, the system operation can be quickly and reliably suspended.
Moreover, if limit switches are installed around the belt, it can ensure the accurate placement of materials on the belt conveyor. If a problem is found, the limit switch will send a signal to the controller, and the belt will stop running. In addition, to avoid blockage during belt unloading, limit switches can be installed to measure the quantity and height of goods on the belt conveyor.
