Power to lock
February 1st 2008

Fortress Interlocks has developed the AutoLokP solenoid interlock to provide a means of escape from potentially dangerous areas such as robot cells, cold stores and warehouse bays.

The AutoLokP internal release option can be used to unlock the door from the inside a guarded area should an operative become trapped; by pushing the button on the rear of the unit the tongue is released from the actuator head and the door can be opened.

The AutoLokP solenoid is continuously energised but when the power is cut, the actuator is released. This system is suitable for applications when an element must be locked in a predetermined position, such as access to the cabin of a gantry crane.
