A few words

When we started, in 1987, to translate our ideas into products like Trapped-Key Interlocks, we did not have a clue as to where our entrepreneurial trip would end. At the time, production, design, and sales of Trapped-Key Interlocks took place in our parents’ garage! Our’s would have been a short story, if not for the support of our very first customers and suppliers. Because of their original commitment to us, absolute customer orientation is the number one priority for our colleagues and us.


Since our founding, several product groups like Trapped-Key Interlocks have been designed and successfully launched in the machine safety devices market.

- no spare tongue "in the pocket"
- no cables to the individual guards (cost saving, faults prevented)

- particularly suited when there are different energy sources for the machine (electric, pneumatic, ...)
- in areas where people might get trapped: personal safety key

Switch HST-S and trapped key interlocks

Trapped-Key Interlocks: The switch HST-S is used for isolating the machine, in order to permit safe access. After the voltage has been switched off, the previously trapped key can be removed and used for the next step in the sequence, e.g. opening a guard. Trapped-Key Interlocks: The unit is available as an enclosed (IP 65) or a panel mount version. Versions with multiple locks (enclosed version sheet-steel up to 4, panelmount version up to 10) are also available. Further, versions in explosion-proof enclosures (ATEX zones 21 & 22 and 1 & 2) can also be supplied.
