Application
Renew’s miniature basic switches are widely used in industrial equipment and facilities or consumer and commercial devices such as office equipment and home appliances for position detection, open and closed detection, automatic control, safety protection, etc. Here are some popular or potential application.

Office Equipment
Integrated into large office equipment to ensure the proper operation and functionality of these equipment. For example, switches can be used to detect if the printer cover is closed, ensuring the printer does not operate unless the cover is properly closed.

Vending machine
Switch in vending machine detect whether a product has been successfully dispensed, monitor the levels of products, and detect whether the door is open or closed.

Articulated robotic arms and grippers
Integrated into articulated robotic arms for use in control assemblies and provide end-of-travel and grid-style guidance. Integrated into grippers of the robotic arm wrist to sense grip pressure.
