Abstract
A switch apparatus includes: an operation unit that is movable in one direction; a first detection unit that outputs a first detection signal indicative of a distance to the operation unit; a second detection unit that outputs a second detection signal indicative of a distance to the operation unit; a first determination unit that outputs a first safety input signal when the first detection signal is greater than or equal to a first threshold value; a second detection unit that outputs a second safety input signal when the second detection signal is greater than or equal to a second detection signal; and a threshold value adjustment and holding unit that adjusts and holds the first and second threshold values such that when the operation unit moves a predetermined distance, output start timings of the first and second safety input signals become substantially the same.
