Product catalog summary

Overview
Non-contact safety switches are interlocking devices designed to enhance safety and productivity in industrial settings. They are particularly useful in applications where precise guidance of guards is challenging. These switches are durable, require minimal maintenance, and are resistant to shock and vibrations, offering high tamper resistance.

Product Features
The amGardncs by Fortress is a coded non-contact safety proximity switch with the following features:

Stainless Steel IP69K housing suitable for environments where hygiene and robustness are critical, such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Safety rating of PLe Cat 4/SIL3.
Compliance with EN14119 as a coded interlock.
Utilizes solid-state Hall Effect sensors, eliminating issues with vibration and contact bounce.
Handles high levels of misalignment.
Integrated electronics for fault monitoring, ensuring the safety relay remains operational regardless of approach direction.
Local user indication and monitor outputs for control systems.
Various termination options with available mating cables.
