Industrial safety specialist Fortress Interlocks is unveiling new safety interlocks, communications modules and accessories at this year’s SPC IPC Drives trade show in Nuremberg, Europe’s leading exhibition for electric automation technology. The company will be in Hall 9, Booth 202 and invites anyone interested to call past the booth and speak to its industry experts.
New products on show will include:
proNET, a PROFInet/PROFIsafe communications module for Fortress’ amGardpro interlocks. This allows the features of the amGardpro to be distributed on a PROFInet network, with safety information exchanged using PROFIsafe extensions.
amGardncs, a robust, coded, non-contact, safety proximity switch. Extremely long-lasting and requiring very little maintenance, non-contact switches are used in when precise guidance of guards can be difficult. With a stainless steel IP69K housing, the amGardncs is ideal for high purity applications such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing, or anywhere where hygiene is of paramount importance.
amGardS40 stainless steel interlocks. Similarly to the non-contact switch, this product is designed specifically for us in high purity process environments such as food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It also has all of the features of the amGardpro range.
All these products are part of an ongoing project by Fortress to integrate PROFIsafe and PROFInet Safety connectivity into its safety interlock ranges.
“Making our products compatible with industrial safety networks is an essential requirement for our customers,” comments Fortress’ Managing Director Rob Lewis.
“With these new product developments being unveiled at the SPC IPC Drives show, we’re letting the market know that we not only meet, but exceed, what people expect from us when it comes to industrial networking.”
