Solid-state power switch CANDY CONTROLS
The Candy Switch is used by thousands of equipment manufacturers and users world-wide to control circuits during a machine cycle. This Candy Switch can vary the "on-off" time cycle as well as the length of "on" dwell time. Each electrically controlled machine component can be synchronized to the demands of the parent machine without custom designed cams or expensive electronic devices.
The Candy Switch is available in both solid-state and electro-mechanical models. A variety of cams and switching mechanisms allow the Candy Switch to accomodate most every industrial application. The solid-state models provide precise, repeatable timing control for over 100 million cycles.
Solid State Model
For applications that require higher switching speeds and greater accuracy, Candy offers a complete line of solid-state switches. This line employs a board mounted photo scanner which reads a reflective pattern from a printed cam.
The N cam is the standard cam for most solid-state models. Alternative cams are available with different operating characteristics as described to the lower right.
