Extracted Key Adaptor

摘要

The El from Fortress Interlocks is an extracted key adaptor the company has added to its amGard range of modular safety gate switch interlocks. The new product ensures that the door to hazardous machinery cannot be opened without removing the safety key, and the machinery cannot be restarted until the key is returned. By being designed to trap an actuator in the head unit until the key is removed, the mechanism allows the "gate" to wing 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.
