APPLICATIONS · CONVEYOR & SORTING

Reliable Position Sensing & Interlocking For High-Speed Conveyors.

Engineered limit and safety switches for belt alignment, diverter gates, and maintenance access—built for continuous sorting throughput and rapid response.

THE DEMANDS

Operating Demands In Conveyor & Sorting Systems.

Dust, Vibration, And Open Air

Long conveyor beds generate continuous vibration and accumulate packaging dust. IP65/IP66 enclosures protect contact mechanisms from dust contamination and wire loosening.

High-Speed Actuation

High-speed diverters and pushers operate within millisecond windows. Fast snap-action contacts with low operating differential ensure consistent signals on high-volume parcel lines.

Frequent Safety Guard Interlocking

Clearing parcel jams requires opening access panels. Safety interlocks with forced-disconnect NC contacts physically isolate drive motors before hands enter the belt area.

SWITCH POSITIONS

Three Switching Points Along The Line.

Belt Edge And Drift

A belt that drifts sideways touches the trip arm before it touches the frame. The arm trips the drive and the belt keeps its edge.

TZ-8 Series
TSA Series

Diverter And Gate Positions

Diverters and pushers report their end positions to the control. The signal confirms the gate arrived before product reaches it.

TZ-8 Series
TLS Series

Access Doors And Jam Panels

Panels that open for jam clearing carry interlock switches on the drive circuit. Opening a panel stops the drive before hands reach the belt.

T4NS Series
T4NR Series

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS

Switches Suited To Conveyors And Sorters.

These are general suggestions based on technical specifications. Contact our engineering team for a recommendation specific to your line.

TSA Series

BELT ALIGNMENT & DEFLECTION

Heavy metal housing with a stainless steel roller and wide ±95° swing arm, engineered to detect belt misalignment without mechanical damage.

T4NS Series

JAM ACCESS DOOR INTERLOCKS

Key-operated safety interlock with certified forced-disconnect NC contacts (EN 60947-5-1). Prevents conveyor drive restart while jam clearance panels are open.

TLS Series

HIGH-COUNT POSITIONS

Economy switch for the many positions along a long line.

TZ-8 Series

DIVERTERS AND GATES

IP65 position switch for diverter and gate duty.

WHAT MATTERS

What Conveyor Builders Ask Us First.

Detection, Position, And Access

Presence, gate position, and door interlock are three different duties. Each one takes a switch chosen for that role.

Fast Signals, Short Windows

At sorter speed, a position signal has a short window to land. Repeatability matters more than any single reading.

Wash-Down Lines Take Sealed Switches

Lines that get washed down, in food and parcel halls, take sealed switches at the frame.

Send The Line Layout. Get The Switch Per Station.

Belt width, sorter speed, and the number of diverters are enough to map the switches along the line.

MAINTENANCE

Checks That Ride With The Service Round.

Line maintenance happens between shifts. The switch checks below join the same round.
