Interlocks has integrated a key
switch function into key exchange
units, making it possible to isolate
the power and release access keys in
one operation.

The XMR unit simplifies the
traditional interlock procedures for
safeguarding potentially dangerous
machines and areas with multiple
access doors. By simply turning the
first key of the XMR the safety
contacts are broken, isolating the
machine power. This key is then
trapped and the other access keys
can be used to open the door locks
allowing access to the safeguarded
areas. Only when all keys are
returned to the XMR can the
machine be restarted. This means
separate key transfer between an
(isolation) key switch and key
exchange unit is no longer needed,
providing a simplified and cost
efficient solution for lots of
safeguarding applications.
