Safety gate switches

The amGard pro’s unique modular construction - made up of actuators, head modules, adaptors, electrical switches/locks and optional push-button pods - allows easy configuration for virtually any safeguarding application up to SIL3 (EN/IEC 60261) Category 4 and PLe (EN/ISO 13849-1), Fortress Interlocks claims.

To assist with amGard pro configuration, the company now has a Product Configurator on its website.

By following the steps, it allows the user configure a complete unit, with part numbers, an image, a 2D drawing and a 3D model.

The amGard pro offers a range of fully integrated safety interlocks, including solenoid and non-solenoid safety switches with many additional options including key control modules, emergency release, redundant sensors, lock out/tag out and push buttons, e-stops and indication lights for enhanced functionality.

Its robust construction also makes it ideal for industrial applications when safety, strength and reliability are of paramount importance.

It replaces all adaptions normally fitted within a guarding system, so additional hardware like door catches, actuators, closing mechanisms, internal release mechanisms, key functions including authorised access and deadlocks are no longer needed.

All of these separate functions can be incorporated into amGard pro configurations, resulting in the most flexible safety interlock solution available for today’s industrial environment.
