Emergency Stop Button

An emergency stop, commonly known as e-stop, is a vital safety feature that swiftly halts a device during critical scenarios where regular shutdown procedures cannot be followed. Unlike conventional shutdown methods, which systematically power down all systems and safely turn off machinery, an e-stop prioritizes immediate operation termination, even if it damages equipment in the process. Designed for easy activation by anyone, including panicked operators or untrained individuals, these kill switches are intentionally conspicuous to ensure quick response in emergencies.
