Using Safety Locking Devices on Guards to Protect Safety Gates with Full-Body Access
Special protective measures are required if operators have to fully enter a machine’s danger zone. By fitting safety locking devices to guards and ensuring the implementation complies with EN ISO 14119, you can prevent safety gates being opened unintentionally during dangerous machine movements. This way you can reliably protect staff, reduce the possibility of manipulation and guarantee a safe, efficient production process.
Choose safety locking devices in conjunction with PSENslock 2 and PSENmlock, the safety gate system PSENmgate and the Identification and Access Management (I.A.M.) system.
