In many occasions the movement of a machine can cause that accidentally, this one disconnects of the electrical network, circumstance that can cause a great damage. To avoid this type of incident, there are IEC Lock bases and connectors, which take advantage of the central pin to ground to make it difficult to disconnect, which is why they are called lockable.

The great novelty is the new range of IEC Lock angled bases. We have received many requests about this layered version so as not to lose so much space and be able to place the machine next to the wall. These layered bases are currently available in both a fixed cable version and a rewired version.

The applications in vending or hotel and catering machines are innumerable: open door detectors, liquid level detectors, ...etc.
For example, in commercial coffee and tea machines, the number of cups served per day could exceed hundreds. When filling large volumes of orders, accuracy in the volume dispensed from the beverage is important, as a small mistake could lead to wastage of raw materials. To dispense the exact amount of coffee, tea, water or milk, these machines need to measure the volume by filling an internal tank and then use this reference to fill other cups. This is accomplished by adjusting the internal tank with a reed switch and float that detect the tank fill signal when the tank fills. This signal is used to activate a solenoid or pump that stops the main tank outlet and opens the secondary tank drain valve to dispense liquid into a cup.
