The foot switch is a switch that controls the circuit to be turned on and off by foot or stepping, and is used in a control circuit that cannot be touched by the hands to replace the hands for the purpose of operation.
Foot switches are widely used in medical equipment, stamping equipment, welding equipment, textile equipment, and printing machinery.
In the electronics industry, such as Xiaojinang, the configuration of the terminal machine, there are automatic, and inching, the inching is the application of the foot switch. Step on it for a while.
A simple foot switch actually has a built-in travel switch that is activated when the pedal gives a signal. However, in the field of welding, the function of the foot switch also plays a role in controlling the magnitude of the output current. This type of foot switch can also be divided into two categories: one, mechanical foot switch; two, inductive foot switch. The mechanical foot switch is a traditional rack and pinion drive, and the inductive type is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
