Fortress Interlocks adds E1, ensuring safety key removal

摘要

Safety interlocking company Fortress Interlocks has added its new El, Extracted Key Adaptor, to the amGard range of modular safety gate switch interlocks. The El has been designed to ensure that the door to hazardous machinery cannot be opened without removing the safety key, and the machinery cannot then be restarted until the key is returned. Fortress has achieved this by designing a mechanism that traps the actuator in the head until the key is removed which then allows the 'gate' to swing over the keyhole. While the actuator remains out of the head, the gate remains over the keyhole preventing the key being returned to the lock.
