Modules from the Amgard modular interlocking system can be retro-fitted to existing Amgard interlocks at a later date, allowing operators to modify interlocking systems with a minimum of fuss
Safety interlocks combine best of both worlds
Fortress Interlocks has launched Amgard 2000, a range of modular interlocks which combines the convenience of gate switches with the adaptability of trapped-key interlocks
The new site features a "product configurator" in which customers specify their particular requirements and are presented with the safety solution to meet their needs.
Detailed application information is accompanied by clear diagrams and full technical specifications, allowing customers to view the wide range of options afforded by the Fortress interlocking range.
The site is updated on a regular basis with relevant interlocking information.
Customers can investigate a variety of interlocking designs and specific applications, including conveyors, robot cells, packing lines and chemical industry applications.
Launched earlier this year, the Amgard 2000 range provides an innovative modular approach to interlocking for safety applications.
A choice of mechanically- or electrically-operated locks, combined with a range of options such as tongue or handle actuator, emergency release mechanism and safety key switch, ensure complete flexibility of the system.
Option pods and safety/access key adaptors allow the benefits of both trapped-key and electro-mechanical interlocks to be harnessed in a single system.
Ingress protected to IP67 and tested to one million cycles, Amgard 2000 modules are extremely robust and are designed to tolerate considerable misalignment.
Dual channel safety circuitry and coded tamperproof locking mechanisms ensure complete operator safety whilst allowing rapid access to machinery, thus minimising costly production down time.
