Automation through the use of functional handles and switch housings

BIBUS recently expanded the product range with handles from the German Rohde. This comprehensive package of handles consists of a medical line of handles, tube handles, bracket handles, folding handles, carrying handles, panel handles and profile handles, as well as functional handles and push button housings. These handles are equipped with electronics, LEDs, transponders, etc. This series of ready-to-use control elements enables automation of systems and production. This article discusses the various functional handles that can be ordered via BIBUS.nl.

The functional handles and switch housings are used in various industries, such as the food industry, production industry, machine and equipment construction, the medical sector, automotive industry and robotics. The applications of the products also vary greatly. For example, think of automated passageways, NC / NO functions and digital displays. Guaranteeing is essential, especially in the areas of automation and the use of robotics. BIBUS, as the new distributor, proudly presents Rohde's functional handles.

Functional handles

The range of functional U-handles is suitable for various applications. Wherever locks with latches are used, the Rohde FG handle range offers the ideal combination of ergonomics, productivity and security. The handles of this series allow the user to perform switching functions where they are needed: on the handle of the safety device.

The connection contacts of push buttons, emergency stop and the LED lights are led out of the handle. So the elements are not connected to each other, which means that individual control functions can be implemented, when needed for your application.

The functional handles are positioned on the object to be moved, often a door or entrance gate. The image below shows a functional handle in an application.

In the BIBUS range of handles, Rohde functional handles are divided into the four categories below.

Switch housings

Rohde's other line of functional products consists of switch housings, the TG series. The function of these products is identical to that of the functional handles, but the interpretation of this function differs. The switch housings are positioned on the stationary frame of the access gate. The image below shows the push button housing in an application.

The switch houses are available in different variants. These variants can be persionalized according to customer preferences.
