Non-contact safety switches are interlocking devices used in applications where precise guidance of guards is difficult. Due to the design they are extremely long-lasting devices that require minimal maintenance. In addition they are resistant to shock and vibrations and offer a high level of prevention against tampering.
Fortress developed the amGardncs, a coded non-contact, safety, proximity switch in a robust package, featuring:
- Stainless Steel IP69K housing, ideal for food, beverage and pharmaceutucal environments or anywhere hygiene or robustness are paramount.
- PLe Cat 4/SIL3 safety rating.
- Can be used as a coded interlock in accordance with EN14119.
- Based on solid state Hall Effect sensors that do not suffer from vibration and contact bounce.
- Copes with a very high level of misalignment
- Integrated electronics that monitors for faults and ensure the safety relay does not enter a fault state, irrelevant of the approach direction.
- Local user indication.
- Monitor outputs for use in the control system.
- Available with a variety of termination options
