eGard

eGard is a compact and lightweight system that brings the functionality of interlocking to an area dominated by lower capability products. A fully modular system that simply clips together and is easily installed, eGard modules include mechanical locks, electrical locks, safety switches, service modules such as indicators and buttons, internal releases, emergency stops, and a selection of actuators suitable for both hinged and sliding doors. eGard can connect to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and mimic panels, or can be used on an AS-interface network, a new cabling system that allows machinery safety equipment, such as access gate switch interlocks, to operate in parallel with standard machinery controls on a single network with a common communication protocol. It has a polymer body for corrosion resistance and has stainless wear parts for long life.
