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. More articles from Fortress Interlocks Ltd: |
