· Hygienic design with mirror polish 316 stainless steel enclosure. · Rugged design with die-cast metal enclosure.
· Tested to IP67 and IP69K. · Tested to IP67
· Suitable for SIP and CIP cleaning. · Suitable for harsh environments
Introducing the MLZ Type 4 Guard Locking Switches with RFID Coded Actuator. Improve the safety and efficiency
of your machinery with this guard locking switch designed to meet the highest safety standards in industrial
environments. Engineered for longterm reliability, the MLZ series offer protection and flexibility for your safety
applications.
The MLZ utilizes advanced RFID technology with a coded actuator, preventing unauthorized access and tampering
with the safety system. Boasting a robust holding force of 4000N, it provides strong and reliable locking to secure
guards and prevent unintended access.
Designed with three entry points for the actuator, all accessible from a single mounting position, the MLZ offers
versatile installation options to suit various machinery layouts. Equipped with Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD)
outputs, it allows seamless integration with safety controllers and PLCs, facilitating real-time monitoring and quick
response to safety events.

· Tested to IP67 and IP69K. · Tested to IP67
· Suitable for SIP and CIP cleaning. · Suitable for harsh environments
Introducing the MPZ and MMZ RFID switches with OSSD outputs, engineered for maximum flexibility and visibility in
industrial applications. These switches are identical in functionality, differing only in the material of their enclosures
to suit various environmental needs. The MPZ is manufactured from durable polyester, making it ideal for standard
industrial settings, while the MMZ is crafted from mirror-polished 316 stainless steel, offering superior resistance to
corrosion and making it suitable for harsh or hygienic conditions.
Both switches feature a symmetrical design that allows them to be mounted on either face, providing full flexibility
during installation and ensuring compatibility with diverse machinery layouts. The innovative lens wraps around the
switch, ensuring visibility from all mounting positions and enabling easy status monitoring from any angle. Equipped
with advanced RFID technology and OSSD outputs, the MPZ and MMZ switches deliver reliable, secure operation and
seamless integration with safety systems. Upgrade your equipment with these versatile switches to enhance safety,
efficiency, and adaptability in your operations.

ENS-SERIES
FEATURES
IDEM’s safety enabling switches (ENS-Series) are three-position devices designed to ensure operator safety by
disabling machinery in hazardous situations. These switches function by interrupting the machine’s operation
when either squeezed or released, thus preventing unintended machine activation. Engineered for use in high-risk
environments, these switches play a critical role in mitigating serious accidents and safeguarding operators. Tasks
such as visual inspections, minor adjustments, troubleshooting, calibration, tool changes, and lubrication benefit from
the integration of these safety enabling switches, enhancing overall safety and operational control.

LCB LIGHT CURTAIN BLOCKER
The Skorpion Trapped Key Light Curtain Blocking Device, is designed to be installed or retrofitted to provide a prohibitive blocking
function, alongside compatible light curtain devices. While the light curtain installation is able to offer maximum accessibility to a machine
or production line by removing or complementing the requirement for mechanical guarding, when installed correctly, the LCB device
allows the user to safely lock-off and prohibit the re-engagement of the light curtain barrier. It also allows for this lock off to be integrated
into a wider Skorpion trapped key system if desired. In addition, the Idem LCB provides dual lock-off functionality, allowing for an 8mm
padlock hasp to be applied in either the light curtain operational, or light curtain blocked positions.
