To prevent entrapment in machinery and plants, Fortress Safety now offers the option of equipping safety door switches from the amGard Pro range with transponder-coded safety tags in addition to the familiar mechanical safety key.
This means that as long as an operator is carrying a tag, it is not possible to lock the door and/or restart the machine. Only when all tags have been inserted back into the ergonomically designed “slots” and the door is closed can the installation be restarted.
This ensures the safety of your employees at all times. RFID Security Tags are designed using the very latest technology and are characterized by the following features:
AmGard Pro is the highly robust product group of modular safety switches suitable for use in SIL3 (EN/IEC 62061), Category 4 (EN 954-1) and PLe (EN/ISO 13849-1) applications.
In addition to RFID safety tags, the amGard Pro range can be equipped with emergency stops, push buttons, key adapters and various bus systems including AS-i, ProfiNet and Ethernet IP.
