Gate Switch Enhances Safety

Nov. 1, 2008
The PSENslock non-contact magnetic interlocking gate switch has an electro-magnetic holding force of 500N to prevent the unintentional opening of swing gates and sliding gates.
Its transponder technology is said to be manipulation proof because the switch and actuator are separate, providing an additional measure of safety. Existing mechanical technology, on the other hand, requires the use of a keyed actuator. Consequently, says the vendor, it is possible that this “key” could be damaged, suggesting the door is closed, creating a potentially unsafe condition. PSENslock can be used on flap gates and safety gates and is tolerant to gate misalignment. With bright, double-sided LED diagnostics on both sides; it can be mounted left- or right-handed. An M12 plug connection allows for simple assembly.Pilz Automation Safety L.P.www.pilzusa.com734.354.0272
