In addition eGard enables electrical operator controls to be included.
Information is available on "trapped key interlocking", applicable to any industry where it is essential that all energy sources are isolated before gaining access to machinery, and "safety gate switch solutions", including Fortress' range of solenoid-controlled interlocks.
