This range
of coded
interlocking device with coded safety switch has
been developped in
collaboration with some machine builders and end users, in food,
machine tool, paletising industry, in order to offer them a
reliable solution.
Monitoring
a mobile guard is recommended when personnel require
intermittent to frequent
access to a hazardous
area.
If the guard is moved or opened, the interlocking switch prevents cycle
initiation or sends
a stop signal to the machine control.
By
locking the guard closed, our range will
prevent access to the machine till it has come to a safe
stop for the
operator, and when it is safe, a signal sent from the safety control circuit should
activate the solenoid, unlocking the guard and allowing the guard to be opened.
It
differentiates from
the main competitors by the non-contact design, allowing a much
longer life expectancy. There is no ruining, the actuation is smooth.
Moreover,
some interlocking switches on the market do not integrate the safety
position of the bolt/key, so another safety switch is required to
detect the position of the door and prevent a restarting of
the
machine even if the interlocking has extracted the bolt/lock.
|
|
This range
was especially designed to overpass
the main mechanical switches limits, mainly in
environments where you find:
- heavy contamination,
- frequent washdown,
- high vibration,
- poor actuator/switch alignment.
|

|
|
The
main innovations are:
- the guided
and recognised bolt into
the plate thanks to the coded electronic process ACOTOM3®,
- the double
connector available, to ease the serial wiring, and facilitate the
automatic serial locking,
- an energy
saving mode, to avoid unnecessary consumption,
- a heating control (heat limit to 80°C).
Two references are available:
|
| VIGILGUARD |

|
|
- In
safety
reference, Vigilguard prevents the guarded machine from
operating unless the
guard is closed and bolt is actuated in the receiving strike
plate. Version cat.3 and cat.4 are offered depending your needs.
- Concerning
the automation reference,
Vigilguard can check the bolt position (in option) to open or close the switching contacts.
