About Safety Hinges with integrated Cable
Safety hinges
Designed to guarantee the monitoring of safety gates in a solid and functional way, the safety hinge by COMEPI is able to merge the rotational mechanical part and the electrical part related to the block signal generation. Available in two contacts configurations (2NO + 2NC or 1NO + 3NC) and connection with cable or M12 connector. The safety hinge by COMEPI is difficoult to circumvent and useful in wet and dirty environments. Furthermore, the plastic casing makes the safety hinges by COMEPI particularly suitable in food industry applications.

FAQ's of Safety Hinges with integrated Cable:
Q: How do Safety Hinges with integrated cable improve machine safety?
A: These hinges combine a robust mechanical hinge with an integrated electromechanical safety switch, ensuring that machine guards, doors, or hoods are reliably monitored and protected. This prevents unauthorized access and provides a fail-safe solution in compliance with international standards.
Q: What installation process is required for these safety hinges?
A: Installation is straightforward via surface mounting. The product is supplied with a pre-installed cable featuring wire ends, reducing wiring complexity. Custom cable lengths are available to suit specific machine configurations.
Q: Where are these safety hinges typically used?
A: Safety hinges are ideal for industrial applications such as safeguarding machine guards, safety doors, covers, and hoods, particularly in settings where compliance, reliability, and durability are critical.
Q: What is the benefit of the adjustable stroke up to 180?
A: The adjustable stroke allows the hinge to accommodate a wide range of door or cover movement, offering flexibility for different machine designs and ensuring optimal protection and access control.
Q: How does the product comply with safety standards?
A: The hinges are engineered to meet EN ISO 14119 and IEC 60947-5-1 safety standards, verifying their design and functionality for industrial safety systems. This compliance fosters confidence among equipment manufacturers, distributors, and users.
Q: When should custom cable lengths be requested?
A: Custom cable lengths are recommended when the standard 2m cable doesn't meet the installation requirements, such as when the hinge needs to be mounted farther from the control panel or in uniquely configured machinery.
Q: What is the process to determine the optimal hinge configuration?
A: Selection depends on door size, required torque (5-8 Nm), pole count (2-4 poles), and desired opening angle. Reviewing machine specifications with your supplier or distributor ensures correct model choice for reliable integration and maximum safety.
