A flexible approach to machine safety

IDEM Safety Switches' DS Range provides a fully configurable safety interlock and control station solution, combining multiple functions in one robust, integrated unit.

Fully configurable design

The DS Range can be built to suit the exact requirements of each machine, with options including push buttons, selector switches, indicator lamps, emergency stop functions and other operator controls. Each device is also supplied with an ISO-compliant decal pack and coloured lens pack, giving machine builders a flexible way to create a control station tailored to each access point.

The DS Range can be configured quickly and easily using our online tool: dsconfigurator.idemsafety.com

Guard locking option

Where controlled access is required, the DS Range can also be configured with a guard locking option. This allows the guard to remain locked until it is safe for the operator to enter, helping to support safer access to hazardous areas.

Simpler machine integration

By combining safety interlocking and operator controls into one assembly, the DS Range helps reduce the need for separate devices, additional wiring and multiple mounting points. This supports cleaner machine design, simplified installation and reduced build time.

Built for industry

With its rugged metal construction and flexible configuration options, the DS Range is ideal for demanding industrial environments where durability, safety and ease of installation are essential.
