Solenoid interlock

Key Attributes.

Application: AZM range solenoid interlocks, operating in combination with control elements of a machine, e.g. fail-safe standstill monitors or fail-safe delay timers, ensure that sliding, hinged and removable guarding devices, such as grids, hoods or doors, cannot be opened until hazardous conditions (e.g. running-down movements) have come to an end. These solenoid interlocks are also used for cases in which the opening of a guarding device represents a non-permissible intrusion in a production process. Design and mode of operation: On the AZM range solenoid interlocks, the switching element with interlock is not physically connected to the actuator but functionally brought together or seperated on switching. When the guard device is opened in the uninterlocked condition, the actuator is seperated from the base unit. In the process, NC contacts are positively opened and NO contacts closed.
