run bar

English term or phrase: run bar
sorry for the many questions, I am on a very tight schedule...

sensors, safety, muting module

Robot Load/Unload Station Application
This Station muting application uses two independent safety light screen circuits, each with its own muting circuit and muting devices (for example; polarized-retro reflective photoelectrics).
The application also includes ***run bars*** with two-hand
control, auxiliary controls, and E-Stop. The two-hand control is provided at each station to safeguard the operator during the momentary clamping action of the fixture while the safety light screen is muted.

could you describe what they are? In google I am only finding references to people running coffee bars and similar :-)

thanks!

Explanation:
I assume this is referring to a physical metal (etc.) bar that has to be pushed to make the machine run (= operate, function). Many industrial machines are designed like this, so that you have to use both hand to make it work, and hence, cannot possibly have one of your hands trapped in the machine... ! There are different ways of achieving this, like 2 buttons positioned too far apart to be operated by one hand, etc. But sometimes one of the actuator elements can be a bar, either to allow a degree of flexibility in the position of the operator's hand, or, for example, to allow foot operation; both hands must be used to operate the safety interlock, and then the foot is used to operate the bar that actually makes the machine work.
You can go to a great deal of trouble to stop people injuring themselves!

application device


Explanation:
could it be a bar (as in an area or device) to perform (run) some operations??? Because it says ther is a two-hand control, auxiliary controls and E-Stop and it could be the "things" that help you run the application.

I don't know if I have explain myself correclty. Maybe it has nothing to do with this...
