ATOM

Compact RFID coded Interlock with Guard Locking

When it comes to safeguarding certain types of hazardous machinery, you don't always need an overly complicated solution, as you may simply need to prevent unsafe access to a maintenance hatch, such as those on CNC machines, until the hazard inside the guarded area has ended. 

In these applications, the mighty ATOM from Fortress Safety is a wise choice as its compact size with a small footprint and multiple mounting orientations make this guard-locking switch simple to mount in out of reach locations. 

Guards which drop or become misaligned or even very tight spaces are no problem for the ATOM as its actuator has a retention force of 8kN and can pivot / self-centre to cope with a high degree of guard misalignment. In addition, the ATOM's open design also prevents dust and dirt build up.
