Part of the Schneider Electric Telemecanique XCS range, the XCSB1618929 is a safety interlock switch designed for robust industrial environments. This keylock switch provides a secure method for ensuring machine guards remain closed during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas. Its construction is engineered for reliability in demanding applications where operator safety is a primary concern.

Technical details

• Series: Telemecanique XCS
• Switch Type: Safety Interlock Keylock Switch
• Actuator Type: Key Operated
• Contact Configuration: Typically includes a combination of normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts for safety interlocking and status signaling. Specific contact arrangement should be verified against manufacturer datasheet.
• Operating Principle: Mechanical actuation via a key, requiring the key to be inserted and turned to allow the switch contacts to change state.
• Enclosure Material: Robust plastic or metal housing suitable for industrial environments. Specific material to be confirmed via datasheet.
• Mounting Type: Surface mount or panel mount configurations are common for this series.
• Ingress Protection Rating: Designed to meet industrial standards for dust and water resistance; specific IP rating to be verified.

Applications & compatibility

The Schneider XCSB1618929 is commonly employed in machine guarding systems across various industries, including automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and packaging machinery. It is essential for applications requiring a positive break action to ensure safety circuits are de-energized when guards are opened, such as on CNC machines, robotic cells, and conveyor systems.
