Handle safety assembly for industrial machines or plants

A handle safety assembly for protection of an access to industrial machines or plants, wherein an access has at least one fixed part suitable for delimiting a working area of the machine or industrial plant and at least one movable part acting as a protection for entry into said working area, which assembly comprises:

• a safety switch (2) provided with switching means suitable to be connected to power and/or service circuits of the machine or industrial plant;
• an actuator device (4) comprising a slide (7) suitable for being mounted on the access in a slidable manner along an actuation direction (X) and having actuator means (5) suitable for interacting with said safety switch (2) upon the approaching/departing movement of said slide (7) with respect to said safety switch (2) along said actuation direction (X);
• an anchoring bracket (6) for mounting said safety switch (2) to the fixed part of the access and provided with fixing means (11, 12) for said safety switch (2);
• wherein said anchoring bracket (6) is provided with a front face (14) lying on a frontal plane (F) parallel to said actuation direction (X) and on which said fixing means (11, 12) are made;
• wherein said slide (7) is symmetrical with respect to a first symmetry plane (S1) containing said actuation direction (X) and orthogonal to said frontal plane (F).
