The smooth button is ideal for applications that require utmost cleanli-
ness, such as food processing machines or semiconductor manufacturing
equipment. Also suitable for applications requiring a sleek design of
emergency stop switches, such as medical equipment.
IDEC’s unique Reverse Energy Structure, achieved as a result of in-depth
failure analysis of emergency stop switches, has resulted in this innovative
emergency stop switch.
X6 series emergency stop switches provide the highest level of safety, be-
cause the unibody design eliminates the possibility of the contact bocks fall-
ing off the switch (details on page 3).

With X series emergency stop switches, the potential energy level of the
latched status is lower than that of normal status. In the event the switch is
damaged due to excessive shocks, the NC contacts will turn off, thus stopping
the machine (patented design).
