Where do I use interlocking

Wherever people and hazardous motion share a space.

Fortress interlocks protect people wherever machines, access points and energy sources meet the workforce. A few of the sectors where they are used:

Warehouse automation

Automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), conveyors, robotic handling equipment and palletisers each need their own safeguarding and access control, to avoid injury and keep work flowing.

Metals production

From pouring molten metal to huge rolling machines, metal plants are very dangerous places. They need extremely heavy-duty equipment that resists hot, oily, acidic and galvanic environments.

Food & Beverage

Large machines with many access points where maintenance personnel cannot be seen risk an unexpected restart. Confined spaces such as vats and mixing silos add a risk for anyone entering them.

Automotive

Prevent access until hazardous motion has come to a controlled stop. Actuators protect against high force impacts up to 10kN, with up to ±12mm tolerance to misalignment.
