Extracted Key Adaptor
The E1 from Fortress Interlocks is an
extracted key adaptor the company has
added to its amGard range of modular safe-ty gate switch interlocks. The new product
ensures 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
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, prevent-ing the key being returned to the lock. E1
ensures a specific sequence of operation
and can be stacked or combined with other
access and safety key adaptors. Up to five
key adaptors can be used in one configura-tion. Suitable for either hinged or sliding
door applications, E1 also works with
Fortress amGard LOK or STOP bodies.
