Whatever the application, ABB’s high-quality components are built and tested to perform in the toughest environments, supporting uninterrupted control and communication.

Human interface

Process

Human interface

Used in industrial automation to provide intuitive control and clear status indication, ABB’s human interface devices, enable operators to interact safely and effectively with machines and processes.

Pilot devices and Push-buttons

Whenever you start or stop a process, the response must be assured. That’s why ABB pilot devices are designed and engineered to deliver total reliability.

Emergency stops

An emergency stop device is used to permit anyone to stop machinery if it breaks down or if someone is in danger. We offer different types of traditional mushroom head type emergency stop for different types of mounting and environment.

Safety control devices

Safety control devices are used to directly start and stop dangerous machine movements. ABB offer several different types of control devices to meet different needs.

Pressure sensitive devices

Pressure sensitive devices detects when a pressure is being applied to them. For example when a person is being hit by the safety edge/bumper or is standing on the safety mat.

Safety sensors, switches and locks

Safety Sensors, Switches and Locks are used to control the gates and hatches around hazardous machinery, and to monitor the position of a machine.

Process

Used in industrial automation to provide precise feedback and status indication, ABB’s limit switches and encoders help monitor critical movements and enforce safety limits.

Limit Switches

ABB limit switches are the easiest reliable way to convert mechanical movements into electrical signals.

Encoders

Rotational absolute encoders can be used for safe position determination of machine movements.
