Simple-to-configure unit gives flexible control

Simple-to-configure unit gives fully modular approach to controlling access to hazardous machinery and equipment and includes electrical operator controls as standard modules.

eGard is a new, fully modular approach to controlling access to hazardous machinery and equipment.

In addition to providing all the features that are required in a gate switch eGard, developed by safety specialist Fortress Interlocks, also includes electrical operator controls as standard modules.

eGard can even be used solely as a flexible, easily installed, control unit.

eGard simply clips together and provides a vast number of options.

Modules such as stop and start switches and indicator lights can be included in the one unit, with or without gate switch modules.

This eliminates much of the wiring and connection time involved with control panels.

Ease of installation also provides a huge cost saving for specifiers.

eGard is designed to fit straight on to standard extruded aluminium machine guarding without the need for additional brackets.

The internal network is self configuring, for easy installation and reconfiguring, and it features quick-disconnects that allow for easy electrical installation and disconnection.

eGard can be easily connected to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and mimic panels, or used on an AS-interface network*.

eGard is also easily adapted to changing circumstances.

As regulations or procedures change, modules can be removed and new features can be simply added to the unit.

eGard includes safe and standard I/O in one simple modular arrangement.

It is engineered for Category 4 applications and is international standards compliant.

Polymer bodied for corrosion resistance, it has stainless wear parts for long life.
