When the press is removed from the pedal, the machine is switched off and stops.
● Foot switches are commonly used in applications where hands-free control is more practical or safer. They are used within many industries such as medical industry, health and beauty, Industrial process such as industrial machinery, small power tools, press iron machines, medical equipment, dentist chair etc.
The foot switches are also commonly used in TUWEI machines. Below images for details.
