Two-hand control panels are protection devices, which require the simultaneous use of both hands for their actuation. By virtue of their forced location, both hands are kept out of the area of danger. In order to start and continue the operation of a machine or plant which can be dangerous, the location of the hands is controlled as long as danger can continue to be present.
The two-hand control panels are mounted as standard with an Emergency Stop push button to EN 418 and two operating units. In addition, there are guard hoods over the operating elements, which prevent simple manipulation of the protection function using hands, elbows, stomach, hips, thighs or knees, for example.
EN 574 differentiates between various types of two-hand switching circuits with regard to their technical degree of control security. In this respect, the selection of the type depends on the evaluation and the risk assessment.

TWO-HANDS COMMAND
Two-hand commands are designed with sturdy lateral guards, relieving the function of protection, providing a valid support to the wrist of the operator avoiding physical damage like carpal tunnel syndrome and intrusion of foreign bodies. The range includes a comprehensive offer of supports for a variety of ground or wall fixed pulpit systems.
The palm actuators, to command and control electrical circuits, are designed for energy or emergency uses. Produced in thermoplastic anti-shock resin with metallic parts in stainless steel, they can be installed in particularly damp or corrosive atmospheres and where there is danger of electrostatic discharges. The portable unit is designed to satisfy ergonomic, safety and reliability requirements. This type of appliance is used ideally in numeric control automation systems and in applications with industrial robots. The dimensions of the upper part permit different configurations of operators, while in the lower part, used as a grip, it is possible to set up membrane keyboards; on the sides it is possible to install anti-panic buttons. The characteristic shape of the push-button panel has been designed to protect operators (also in the case of selector switches with key inserted) from knocks or shocks.

STB Self-Checking Touch Buttons
The STB Self-checking Optical Touch Button is a photoelectric-based, manual activation device designed to provide an ergonomic alternative to conventional mechanical push buttons and palm buttons.
The STB creates a pulsed infrared beam that spans its touch zone. The buttons switch when their light beam is broken by a simple insertion of a finger.
No pushing is necessary, eliminating the hand, wrist and arm stresses that may result from repeated push button operation.
This reduces harmful tendon, nerve and neurovascular disorders.
Duo-Touch® SG Two-hand Control Safety Modules
This new two-hand-control safety module is designed to verify proper operations of two-hand-control devices, for increased control reliability in anti-tiedown applications.
The DUO-TOUCH SG uses a diverse-redundant microcontroller circuit to monitor one normally-open and one normally-closed contact set on each hand control device.
If either device is released, the DUO-TOUCH SG cancels its output signal.
