Schmersal two-hand control panels available from AutomationDirect

AutomationDirect has added Schmersal two-hand control panels to its line of safety products. Two-hand control systems are used with a special control monitoring relay and require an operator to use both hands simultaneously when initiating a hazardous operation. This forces operators to keep their hands on the two-hand control actuator and out of an unsafe spot when a system is performing a hazardous operation.

Panels are available in aluminum or plastic and with or without push buttons. Replacement push buttons and a legend plate also are available.
