What type of equipment can I use this gripper with?

A cable pull switch, also known as grab wire switches or rope pull switches, are a common type of emergency stop and safeguarding measure. They allow personnel to stop moving machinery anywhere along its length instead of at just one point on the apparatus and can be used over a long distance. This is useful if there is a chance that someone may become entangled in lengthy moving machinery, such as conveyor belts. These appliances are hung by a wire around the machinery and can be operated by pulling the cord. This isolates the circuit and stops the hazard.
You can use this gripper around awkward industrial equipment like conveyor belts. For versatility, you can also use it to set cables around restricted areas.
