Abstract: To realize both toughness and size reduction of a safety switch. A safety switch is a safety switch into and from which a bolt of an actuator is inserted and pulled out. The safety switch includes a casing having a shape elongated along a first direction, a metal head having a receiving space for receiving the bolt of the actuator and provided on a first end side of the casing in the first direction, a detector for detecting a first state in which the bolt is received in the receiving space, a lock mechanism, a switching device and a first attachment portion provided in the head and having a first attachment hole into which a first attachment member is inserted.

Abstract: A worker is prevented from being hindered. A safety switch includes a switch body including an electromagnet and an actuator attracted to the electromagnet. The switch body includes a drive control unit and a safety control unit which control the safety switch, and the drive control unit and the safety control unit are surrounded by a housing. The housing is arranged on a back surface side of the electromagnet of the switch body, and the housing forms an accommodating portion that accommodates the drive control unit and the safety control unit.

Abstract: Provided is an optical displacement sensor that allows a housing serving as a head to be downsized. A relay cable extending from the head is integrated with a body. The head is primarily responsible for projecting and receiving light to and from a to-be-detected object, while the body is made up of a power supply circuit, a display, and an operation part. The head includes a green laser light source and emits the green laser light to form a spot on a surface of the to-be-detected object.

Abstract: Provided is a displacement sensor having a modular structure that allows further downsizing. A housing of a head is made up of a main housing and a lid member, both of which are precision molded products made of a metal material. A first holder to which a light projector is bonded and a second holder to which a light receiver is bonded are individually positioned on and bonded to the lid member. This work is performed by a mounting device. Optical components such as a light projecting lens are also bonded to the lid member, and the lid member modularized by incorporating such optical components is assembled and welded to the main housing.

Abstract: To provide a connecting structure for a signal cable capable of securing a sufficient display area concerning a display in a photoelectric switch. A photoelectric switch includes a housing having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A display 5 is provided on a first surface of the housing and includes a display region. A signal cable 51 connects a control board and the display 5. The display 5 includes a connecting section 70a connected to the signal cable 51. The connecting section 70a is disposed between the display region and the signal cable in the longitudinal direction of the housing. Consequently, a connecting structure for the signal cable 5 capable of securing a sufficient display area concerning the display 5 in the photoelectric switch is provided.

Abstract: To make a display in a photoelectric switch easy to see for a user. A photoelectric switch includes a housing having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. A display is attached to a first surface of the outer surface of the housing. A control board is housed on the inside of the housing. A controller is mounted on the control board. The first surface includes a hole-like or cutout-like opening section for allowing a signal cable to pass from the outside to the inside of the housing. The signal cable electrically connects the control board disposed on the inside of the housing and the display disposed on the outside of the housing. A cover member includes a window section for exposing a display region of the display and covers a non-display region of the display. The cover member is provided outside the housing.
