Bolts for Safety Guards

Bolts are employed in conjunction with safety switches so as to protect the operator from hazardous machine movements. By using an EUCHNER bolt, an additional door handle is no longer required. Using the bolt will always ensure that when closing the safety guard the actuator is properly inserted in the safety switch. The switch bracket of the bolt is designed so that it simultaneously provides mechanical protection for the switch. The available assembly holes permit easy and fast fitment of the bolts to the safety guards.

Advantages

• Bolts from a mechanical locking mechanism, i.e. the monitoring circuit cannot be actuated by unintentional opening of a hinged door.
• Prevent the inadvertent machine shutdown
• The actuator is accurately guided into the actuation head of the safety switch. Thus ensuring that the actuator is correctly inserted in the head, even if the door is incorrectly adjusted.
• If the safety door is shaken, the force is transmitted to the mechanically strong bolt and not to the safety switch.
• Safety switch and actuator are thereby protected against damage
• Standard aluminium profiles are frequently used for safety guards. Here in particular, fitting the bolts is a simple task.
• Optimum adaptation of the bolts to the market standard
• In the past, bolts for safety guards were frequently produced at great expense in the companies’ own machine shops. Today by contrast, standard solutions are prefered for economic reasons, especially in the automobile industry. EUCHNER has responded to current customer demands with the introduction of the bolts for safety guards.
