The Duo-touch SG Two-hand Control Safety Modules represent advanced industrial safety technology designed to protect operators in high-risk manufacturing environments. These sophisticated modules work seamlessly with Banner STB self-checking touch buttons or can be retrofitted with existing mechanical palm buttons to create complete, ergonomic two-hand control systems. Engineered with diverse-redundant microcontroller circuits and multiple redundant, force-guided output contacts, these modules ensure unparalleled reliability. The anti-tiedown logic requires both touch buttons to be activated within one-half second of each other, preventing single-hand operation attempts. Available in various voltage configurations including 24V ac/dc, 115V ac/24V dc, and 230V ac/24V dc, these modules offer flexibility for different industrial power systems while maintaining consistent safety performance.
These safety modules find critical application across numerous industries where machine operator safety is paramount. In metal fabrication and stamping facilities, they prevent accidents on power presses and press brakes. Automotive manufacturing plants utilize them on assembly lines with hazardous moving parts. Packaging industries implement these systems on machinery requiring operator presence detection. The modules meet Safety Category 4 per ISO 13849-1 (EN 954-1) and functional Type IIIC two-hand control per EN 574 standards, making them suitable for global industrial applications. Their compliance with international safety regulations ensures they meet the strictest safety requirements across different regions and industries, providing consistent protection standards worldwide.
The business value of Duo-touch SG modules extends beyond safety compliance to operational efficiency and risk mitigation. Companies investing in these systems benefit from reduced workplace accidents, lower insurance premiums, and compliance with occupational safety regulations. The removable terminal blocks allow convenient wiring and module exchange without rewiring, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades. Optional mute inputs enable release of actuating buttons during non-hazardous portions of machine cycles, enhancing operational flexibility. These modules represent a smart investment in both human safety and operational continuity, providing peace of mind while maintaining production efficiency and protecting valuable workforce resources.
