A few words
When we started, in 1987, to translate our ideas into products like Trapped Key System, we did not have a clue as to where our entrepreneurial trip would end. At the time, production, design, and sales of Trapped Key System 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 System have been designed and successfully launched in the machine safety devices market
.
With our subsidiaries and distribution partners for Trapped Key System in the major industrial countries, we are able to serve our customers in all aspects of labor safety.

SAFETY INTERLOCKS and trapped-key-system
High safety.
Trapped Key System: Such guard locking devices are for instance key-operated mechanical interlocks, also called trapped-key systems. They are based on the easy-to-understand premise that a key cannot in two places at the same time - it can for instance be inserted in a switch OR
be used for opening a guard.
Trapped Key System: Another safety-relevant feature is that a key can only become free in a safe condition,
when there are no hazards - a switch is turned off, a guard interlock is closed and
locked.
The big advantage of the system is the fact that a certain sequence of steps can be predetermined when designing the system. It is not possible to deviate from this sequence -
thus a high degree of integrity is achieved. So virtually any hazard can be eliminated.
Advantages of Haake trapped-key-system
Benefits offered by the trapped-key system, e.g. Trapped Key System:
- high safety, individual codes
- only pre-determined sequences securing safety are possible
- no spare tongue "in the pocket"
- no cables to the individual guards (cost saving, faults prevented)
- easy retro-fitting
- guard interlocks have locking feature
- particularly suited when there are different energy sources for the machine (electric, pneumatic, ...)
- in areas where people might get trapped: personal safety key
- simple possibilities for teach in
- time delay due to key transfer between switch and guard interlock - run-down
processes come to a standstill (if necessary, extend by additional unit)

Switch HST-S
Trapped Key System: 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 System: 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.
