Applications

A typical application of Olympus solenoid controlled access lock is machine guarding. It is usually connected to power isolators via safety relays.

When the machine is in operation the access door is locked via the deenergized solenoid in the Olympus solenoid controlled access lock. To open the guard, the machine is instructed to stop via the control circuit. Once the machine has completed the cycle, an external signal is received by the solenoid. Retracting the tongue actuator will break the contacts ensuring the power is locked out.

The machine cannot be restarted until the door is closed and the tongue actuator is replaced in the Olympus solenoid controlled access lock.
