At singly occuring faults, the system immediately changes to the safe condition: it switches off. If for instance in a safety edge a not perfect gluing of the end caps has been made, or sealing becomes worse because the glue becomes brittle, any ingress of insulating matter such as dust and dirt will not lead to a loss of the safety function

A few words

Tounge operated Switches: When we started, in 1987, to translate our ideas into products like Tounge operated Switches, we did not have a clue as to where our entrepreneurial trip would end. At the time, production, design, and sales of Tounge operated Switches took place in our parents’ garage! Our’s would have been a short story, if not for the support of our very first customers and suppliers. Because of their original commitment to us, absolute customer orientation is the number one priority for our colleagues and us.


Since our founding, several product groups like Tounge operated Switches have been designed and successfully launched in the machine safety devices market.
With our subsidiaries and distribution partners for Tounge operated Switches in the major industrial countries, we are able to serve our customers in all aspects of labor safety. As a family-owned company, we attach the highest importance to quality for Tounge operated Switches, and for this reason we are proud to connect our own name with our tounge operated switches and services. We look forward to your enquiries. We also welcome your comments and any criticism, as this will help us to improve and to create new tounge operated switches. <2>Advantages of Haake

Switch HST-S and tounge operated switches

Tounge operated Switches: The switch HST-S is used for isolating the machine, in order to permit safe access. After the voltage has been switched off, the previously trapped key can be removed and used for the next step in the sequence, e.g. opening a guard.
Tounge operated Switches: The unit is available as an enclosed (IP 65) or a panel mount version. Versions with multiple locks (enclosed version sheet-steel up to 4, panelmount version up to 10) are also available. Further, versions in explosion-proof enclosures (ATEX zones 21 & 22 and 1 & 2) can also be supplied.
