Steel Sensing Proximity Sensors

Application: McHale Agricultural Machinery Operation Monitoring Increases Safety

McHale is a leading international manufacturer of specialist agricultural machinery. Always looking to improve and innovate, McHale partnered with Comus on enhancements for their baler equipment to make it safer.

The Comus Steel Proximity Sensors are now used in McHale’s agricultural baler-wrapper machines to monitor the baler’s pin position. The pin has two positions: storage/transportation and usage. The Comus Steel Proximity Sensor prevents accidental baler operation by interrupting the operation enablement circuit when the pin is in the storage/transportation position. When the pin is in the usage position, the sensor allows the machine to operate, making the baler operation much safer.
