Foot switches are used to start and stop operations and production processes on machinery and plants, where actuation by hand is impossible.

Depending on the environmental conditions and the mechanical load, different variants of foot switches are available.

The robust foot switches of the .F.232 series are generally used e.g. on presses, punching and bending machines as well as in sheet-steel processing.

Safety foot switches are used as enabling switches on machinery and plants, where actuation by hand is impossible.

All foot switches of the .F. 232 series are available in 2-pedal version. The foot switches of the .FH 232 series are equipped with an ergonomic protective shield to protect against unintentional actuation.

The pedals can be smoothly operated, even with safety shoes. The protective shield is largely dimensioned and has a fold on the inside, which facilitates the conscientious positioning of the switch by foot.
