ABSTRACT:
A micro switch for detecting forces in two orthogonal directions, rather than one, useable, for example, to detect out of size parts in one plane in a multiple spindle screw machine, and disengaged parts in an orthogonal plane. This is accomplished through the provision of a ramp that is slidably engaged by the switch's actuation rod as the rod moves in a first plane to translate sideway movement of the rod into perpendicular linear movement of the switch's plunger. The ramp has a recess that captures the rod as it moves in the orthogonal plane, which is coincident with the axis of the plunger, thereby causing switch actuation with plunger movement in two planes.
