M12 CORDSETS The ecolink M12 cordset family features a "lock-in-place" coupling nut that secures the cordset to a quick disconnect sensor and prevents the cordset from detaching - even in high shock and vibration environments. The ecolink insert design acts as a mechanical end-stop that prevents possible damage to the Viton o-ring from over tightening. A 316 stainless steel sleeve with saw tooth contour protects the nickel-plated coupling nut and maintains optimum sealing. Installation is fast, and the cordset can be quickly attached either manually or by using a torque wrench. For status indication, the ecolink cordset family offers right-angle models with a bright LED status display. These models are designed with a black transparent housing that offers high visibility of LEDs from farther distances and in well-lit areas. ifm efector inc.

SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCHES
Just 25mm wide x 82mm long, the T2008 tongue-operated safety interlock switch is designed to provide a minimum of one million actuations in severely space restricted applications, and can be installed in one inch square tubing. 1 N/O and 1 N/C, or 2 N/C, contact configurations are available to satisfy Dual Channel Safety Monitoring requirements. The T2011 universal tongue-operated safety interlock switch is slightly longer at 25mm wide and 113mm long, but includes 2 N/C and 1 N/O, or 3 N/C contact configurations to support Dual Channel Safety Monitoring and Status Monitoring. It is small, yet extremely versatile with a glass-filled thermoplastic housing allowing the T2011 to be used in most applications while providing a minimum of two million actuations.

SAFETY SERIES
REELS
Coxreels' Safety Series EZ-COIL® reels, with patented controlled retraction, painted safety yellow since their inception, are now the industry standard safety reels. Beginning in 2007, EZ-COIL® models will be painted in Coxreels' signature Lustrous Blue Proprietary CPC™ Powder Coat Finish. The models will feature updated logos and labels to be easily differentiated from Coxreels' standard reels. The blue models will still have up to 80% slower retraction speed than standard spring rewind reels. Coxreels
