HE1G grip switches are available with or without a built-in Emergency Stop switch, and were designed for use as deadman switches by second operators in robotic cells. The Off-On-Off functionality provides a high level of safety based on human behavioral studies which determine personnel may squeeze OR let go when presented with a panic situation.
