CONTROL & AUTOMATION NOW WITH NEW ACCESSORIES

slimline AZM150 solenoid interlock The DHS-150 door handle system is especially suited to heavy swing doors
With the new practical DHS-150 door handle system , the slimline AZM150 solenoid interlock from Schmersal is now even easier to use . The ergonomic DHS-150 avoids the need for a separate door handle and is suitable for machine enclosures or fencing and for all standard aluminium profiles with a width of 40 mm . T
he robust door bolt is particularly useful on heavy swing doors and in for use in harsh environments . One benefit of the new accessory is that the actuator is prepositioned by the bolt in the DHS system , thus ensuring its optimal insertion into the device . This gives the system stability against lateral forces . In the event of lateral forces on interlocks that cannot be overcome , the safety door will not be opened – thus causing delays in the production process . In this regard , the DHS-150 door handle system , in conjunction with the AZM150 solenoid interlock , contributes to improved system availability . In addition , the DHS-150 door handle system is also equipped with an integrated locking device ( LOTO ). This locking tag function protects operating staff from mistakenly being locked inside larger , walk-in systems and machines while they are performing servicing and repair work . The locking device ensures that the door of the protective device cannot be closed and unintentional machine start-up is prevented .
The AZM150 solenoid interlock has an interlocking force of 1500 Newtons and is characterised by a slimline , space-saving design . In addition , it can be combined with three different actuators for different attachment situations . A positive of the interlock is the rotating actuator head which can be locked with ease by simple placement on the cover , rather than being bolted into place . The rotating actuator head with its two insertion slots enables various installation positions and actuating options and makes the interlock particularly versatile in use .
The AZM150 solenoid interlock is electromechanical in design and can be combined with a high safety standard : the interlock is supplied with a low coding level as standard , or optionally with a high coding level in accordance with ISO 14119 . The DHS-150 door handle system can be used with the B1 straight actuator for the standard version as well as for the individually coded version . The B1 actuator is supplied with the high coding level version of the device , but must be ordered separately for use with the standard version .
