Schlegel produces exclusively in Germany, at its Dürmentingen and Leipzig sites. This ensures that the company maintains a consistent level of quality with great production depth.
The visual impression of a system or device plays an important role today. It is therefore not surprising that manufacturers of visible components also incorporate this aspect into their design. Our supplier Schlegel underlines this with its multiple awards in this area.
Our range of control and signalling devices as well as emergency stop/emergency stop buttons from Schlegel is designed as a compact and modular system. The standard modules can be used flexibly to meet all common requirements in the industry. The actuators are used wherever a process is to be started or stopped at the touch of a button: on machine tools, in production plants, control cabinets as well as in operating units and control centres in production and infrastructure, in laboratories, on ships or special vehicles, in the cockpit of trains or at international airports.

Membrane switch
Membrane switches and switches usually consist of a composite of different foils. The top layer is referred to as a decorative layer. In addition to the switching foil, a spacer and adhesive foil is usually used underneath. Due to the film protection of the control panel, the film buttons are extremely robust and insensitive to penetrating dirt, water and dust.

Schlegel emergency stop switches - for the protection of people and machines
The purpose of Schlegel emergency off / emergency stop switches is to protect people and machines in the event of malfunctions or operator errors. Entire plants or partial areas can be switched to a safe condition simply by pressing a button. Schlegel's extensive range covers all industry-specific requirements. Illuminated versions, emergency stops with their own diagnostic unit or self-monitoring emergency stop devices offer added safety. The main distinguishing features are: Size, design and application area.
EMERGENCY STOP = stop in case of emergency
EMERGENCY OFF =Switching off in case of emergency
In case of danger, emergency stop switches and emergency off switches ensure that accidents run smoothly and can save lives. They also ensure that machines, tools or vehicles are not further damaged in the event of a defect. Emergency Switches are buttons that are operated manually and trigger a signal that should switch off machinery and equipment quickly and reliably or restore it to a safe state in an emergency. If the Emergency command is triggered, the Emergency Off switch crashes in the pressed state.

High-quality and stable housings
Whether made of plastic or stainless steel: our switch housings from Schlegel are characterised by their robust and durable design. Depending on the model, they are certified according to protection class IP65 and are thus dustproof and protected against ingress of water. Depending on the application, the enclosures are pre-assembled with emergency off switches, on/off switches or can be individually equipped with switches. Switch housings are used to accommodate switches and buttons and - depending on the design of the housing - to protect them against external influences.
