Safety Rope Pull and Belt Alignment Switches from IDEM

IDEM Grab wire switches, or rope pull switches, are a type of emergency stop switch that are mounted on machines and sections of conveyors which cannot be protected by guards and operators are exposed to hazards. A simple e-stop may not be in reach and pulling the rope stops the hazard. Pulling on the cable isolates the circuit connecting the machinery, stopping whatever hazardous action is occurring. They are usually equipped with a reset button, so that the equipment can only be restarted deliberately.
