  Introducing a new range of protective guards, Herga Technology developed the range for use with a wide selection of its general purpose, medical-grade, light-duty and industrial footswitches.

Herga Technology offers electric, infrared, USB and pneumatic hand control switches for demanding medical and industrial applications, as a part of its range of switching solutions. The range covers ergonomic designs that are easily adapted through a comprehensive ordering system for the number and level of switches (buttons/bellows), colours, labelling, lead length and connection type.

  The latest trouser pressing machine, the BRI - 235VC, from VEIT Group combines high speed and precise automated motion with operator control. It also uses the compact and reliable Herga 6289 foot switch to trigger various automatic movements on the machine.

Herga Technology has released a new heavy-duty multi-pedal footswitch base for its 6241 series electrical puck switch range. The powder coated mild steel base has provision in this design for up to 12 individual 6241 switches which are fully protected by a moulded thermoplastic cover.

Highlighting a range of medical switching products at COMPAMED 2016 is Herga Technology. These reflect its recently awarded ISO 13485:2012 medical device accreditation. Also on show will be its single and multi-pedal footswitches that utilise the intelligent and power friendly Bluetooth Smart closed network.

Producing the ‘Wood Terminator’ range of wood chippers for processing biofuel is Austrian forestry and agricultural technology equipment manufacturer MUS-MAX. These huge trailer mounted or self-propelled drum chopping machines can work their way through waste wood and log diameters of up to 75cm or more at the rate of 230m3 per hour.

For safe actuation of electrical devices such as motors and pumps in hazardous environments or in close proximity to water, Herga Technology designs and supplies a wide range of air switches together with compatible foot and hand operated bellows controls. 

To competitively meet the specification and budget requirements for industrial and medical footswitch applications, Herga Technology offers an extensive choice of standard single- and multi-pedal models that offer electric/electronic and wireless switching technologies and also suit the diverse environmental and usage characteristics required by these markets. 

Herga Technology has expanded and improved its economic light industrial duty footswitch range with two new single pole switching models that offer increased temperature range to -20 to +80⁰ in addition to IPX7 ingress protection. The 6219 and 6229 series are aimed at foot-operated input control for office equipment, domestic appliances and light industrial machinery with up to 3A and 250V AC/DC maximum electrical ratings and an SPCO contact configuration. 

Ogden Safety Systems Ltd design and manufacture radar based collision avoidance systems for on and off-highway vehicles that range from refuse collection trucks to heavy-duty wheeled quarry and mining equipment. Characterised by the elimination of unwanted alarms, these console-controlled programmable devices utilise Ogden’s continuous wave multi beam radar that allows on-site set-up that exactly suits the application – essentially maintaining a precise detection zone with three individual but connected areas that are monitored and, via a CANbus networked machine interface, trigger various warnings and alarms such as the switching the vehicles’ reversing camera for the first stage to applying the brakes for the third stage.

Herga Technology has launched a comprehensive range of miniature setpoint-adjustable pressure and vacuum switches for monitoring and control applications with a choice of mounting, port orientation and electrical connection options for maximum installation flexibility.
