HE1B-M1-TH2040-1

The HE1B-M1-TH2040-1 enabling switch by Yaskawa serves as an essential component in robotics and automation contexts. This switch is designed specifically for three positions, allowing for extensive control during teaching sessions of robots, particularly in Motoman series industrial robots and CNC machines. Its functionality enables robot movement while ensuring safety by ceasing operations if the switch is released or fully squeezed.

Mounted on a panel for straightforward integration, the switch can easily transition through its designated positions: OFF, ON, and an additional OFF position, providing versatility in operation. Featuring a switching contact configuration of two normally open/closed contacts, this control element meets various automation specifications. It operates effectively at a frequency of 1200 movements per hour, making it suitable for high-frequency applications.

The actuator housing is colored yellow, allowing quick identification during operation. Rated with an IP40 protection degree, it offers a standard level of protection against dust and solid objects, ensuring reliable performance in controlled environments. Additionally, its lightweight design, made from high-impact industrial plastic, contributes to the switch's durability and enhances its applicability in automated lines and other industrial setups.
