LATCHING DURING THE RISK OF ARCING

Product catalog summary

Overview: The VISION Heavy-Duty Rod Latch System is designed for low- and medium-voltage applications, particularly where there is a risk of electric arc explosions. It allows for the operation of heavy-duty locking points along multiple sides of a door, enhancing safety and security.

Specifications: The system features robust latching points with 8 mm stainless steel pins, capable of withstanding forces up to 1300 kg (2800 pounds) per piece. The latching points are bolted to the frame and welded to the door, with cut-outs used for alignment during welding.

Design and Functionality: The system includes a corner control mechanism that enables the placement of latching points on any side of the door, even between hinges. The latching mechanism is positioned outside the sealed door area, ensuring a clean design without compromising critical areas. The system can be operated with any Vision-styled handle, providing a vault-type latching performance that fixes the door in all dimensions (X, Y, and Z).

Advantages: The system offers several benefits, including maximum protection during accidents, improved sealing properties, and longer gasket life due to the absence of shearing or side loads on the gasket. It is versatile and flexible, capable of meeting various enclosure latching needs, and promotes higher production efficiency and reduced supply chain costs.

Materials: The latch point is made from steel and polyamide (PA6), with a stainless steel latch pin. The "Vision Outside" latch point is made from zinc die-cast with zinc plating or special surface treatment, and brass rollers. The flat rod is available in steel, zinc-plated, or stainless steel (316). The guide block is made from zinc and polyamide (PA6), while the corner control mechanism features a stainless steel (304) cog wheel.

Components: Key components include the heavy-duty latching point (bolt-on frame part with weld-on door part), Vision latching point (frame and door parts for bolt-on mounting), corner control mechanism, and control mechanism.

Testing and Certification: For explosion-proof use, the entire application, including the enclosure and latching system, must be tested and approved by appropriate authorities to receive certification.

VISION Heavy-Duty Vision Outside HEAVY-DUTY is designed to be tested in low- and medium voltage applications with risk for electric arc explosions. The Vision HEAVY-DUTY latching system makes it possible to operate heavy-duty locking points along several sides of a door. Space the heavy-duty locking points according to your needs, and add Vision guide points to simplify closing the door. Add a re-directional corner for each additional door side you want the locking points on. When using the latching system to prevent accidents during an electric arc (explosion-proof use), the whole application...
