Omron TP70-1S2 On-site Flexible Rod Switch

Description

Engineered for robust conveyor safety and industrial machinery position monitoring, the Omron TP70-1S2 is a heavy-duty, on-site flexible rod switch integrated with a separable emergency stop mechanism. This safety-oriented switch utilizes a highly reliable Omron D4N-2187 built-in switch core to deliver consistent actuation and break-contact reliability in challenging physical environments.

The integrated rod mechanism allows multi-directional physical actuation, making it highly effective for pull-wire systems, safety gates, or out-of-limit detection on conveyor belts. The separable emergency stop function ensures that physical intervention immediately breaks the safety circuit, providing local isolation when maintenance or emergency conditions arise. This device features a height-adjustable base mounting frame to simplify installation alignments on varying machine profiles.

Features

• Separable Emergency Stop: Equipped with an integrated emergency stop switch that can be separated for functional isolation.
• Flexible Multi-Directional Actuation: Steel flexible rod structure allows reliable contact change state from variable angles of physical force.
• Robust Environmental Protection: IP65 rated enclosure protects inner switch components from dust ingress and water jets.
• Base Mounting Configuration: Rigid base mounting assembly complete with height adjustment rails to match local structural alignment.
• Durable Core Switch: Utilizes the proven Omron D4N-2187 switch body with positive opening mechanism attributes.

Applications

• Bulk material handling and long-distance conveyor systems.
• Emergency stop line safety systems in manufacturing and assembly plants.
• Heavy machinery travel-limit and safety barrier monitoring.
• Packaging, mining, and wood-processing processing machinery.

Installation Guidelines

To ensure proper mechanical operations and safety compliance during setup, adhere to the following installation steps:

• Mounting Alignment: Bolt the base plate securely to a rigid machine member. Use the integrated height adjustment rail to align the flexible rod directly with the physical actuator or pull line.
• Wiring Safety: Route control cables through standard conduit fittings to maintain the IP65 seal rating. Secure the internal conductors to the M3.5 screw terminals, ensuring proper torque to avoid vibration loosening.
• Clearance Zone: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the flexible rod's path of travel to prevent accidental actuation from moving machinery parts.
• System Testing: Perform functional testing on both the flexible rod switch mechanism and the separable emergency-stop switch to verify that they open the safety circuit reliably.
