Wieland Electric's new SNS 4074K safely switches off any dangerous movement when the limit frequency set on the safety module is exceeded

Designed to protect machine operators from dangerous movement, standstill monitors are predominantly used in the control of tumblers in electric locking facilities. Access to dangerous machine parts is only possible when the machine movement no longer poses a threat to the operator. Wieland Electric's new SNS 4074K monitors the pulse frequency of sensors, such as inductive and magneto-resistive proximity switches and incremental encoders, saf... [more]

New Elesa corrosion-resistant grab handle with safety lock

Elesa’s new EBR grab handle in glass fibre reinforced technopolymer incorporates a spring loaded security lock with the operating pin in AISI 304 stainless steel. Consequently high corrosion resistance makes this handle applicable for environments where regulations, hygienic concerns or climatic/ environmental factors make it important to use corrosion-resistant materials. Typical applications include sliding style doors, marine/building or fu... [more]

Fortress Interlocks' E1 Extracted Key Adaptor ensures that the door to hazardous machinery cannot be opened without removing the safety key

Fortress Interlocks has added its new E1 Extracted Key Adaptor to the amGard range of modular safety gate switch interlocks. The E1 has been designed to ensure that the door to hazardous machinery cannot be opened without removing the safety key, and the machinery cannot then be restarted until the key is returned. Fortress has achieved this by designing a mechanism that traps the actuator in the head until the key is removed which then allows... [more]

MMT handles from Elesa are suited to applications where high temperature equipment requires manual operation

MMT handles from Elesa are particularly suited to applications where high temperature equipment requires manual operation. The MMT by virtue of its internal aeration channels and technopolymer insulation provides a significant “thermal break” and a relatively cool handle. “Cool” in all senses – stylish, practical and functional – Elesa’s MMT is thus suited to use on ovens and other machinery running at high temperatures. Laboratory tests o... [more]
