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

It is designed and constructed with four proven game changing innovations to make this one of the most intelligent and powerful systems. It has advanced Energy Chain Technology to the highest level offering ease of assembly, durability and noise reduction.
Evolock®

Extremely easy and quick locking with innovative locking slide

Configuration on both sides with cables and conduits with EVOLOCK on the inside and outside bend

Great time-saving as the energy chain does not have to be removed from the guide channel when opening the crossbars

Opening of the crossbars is also possible with mounted gliding shoes from the inside bend or with damping shoes from the outside bend

Visible locking status through acoustic and optical control

Evorack®

Changes in the installed position can be made quickly and easily thanks to the innovative shelf supports that can be opened from both sides

Evocontrol®

Replaceable gliding shoes extend the service life many times over

Wear indicator indicates the on-time replacement of the gliding shoes

Gliding shoes are optional extra

Evoshox®

Low-vibration and quiet unrolling of the energy chain due to innovative two-component damping shoe

Noise reduction by up to 25 dB(A). The test value is based on the comparison with and without the use of the external damper in combination with the internal damper with elastomer damping element
