FORTRESS Interlocks has introduced the CPS4STOPXP explosion protected safety switch key station.
The ATEX certified unit is part of a trapped key interlocking and switch system to control access to dangerous machinery to safeguard personnel from injuries.
According to the manufacturer, both the switch and the door locks can be used in zone 1 and 2 potentially explosive environments, such as those found in chemical and petrochemical, paint, pharmaceutical, flour, powders and mining plants.
The company claims the electrical parts are ingress protected to IP67. The station is available in various form factors, with up to five safety key adaptors. Turning the first key will isolate the machine and release the other four keys.
Those keys can then be used to open up to five ATEX Certified DM mechanical door locks to access the safeguarded area. The machine may only be restarted when all keys are back in the key station.
The device features dual channel safety circuits with positive break switches, and is manufactured from stainless steel and zinc alloys.
