Alliance member

Fortress Interlocks has become a member of the Machine Safety Alliance with Festo, Pilz Automation Technology, Troax, UK Engineering, and Werma.

The Alliance aims to share its collective knowledge and expertise to help machine builders and users make sense of safety and safeguard their productivity.

The withdrawal of safety standard EN 954-1 means EN ISO 13849 will become the widely used standard for design, verification and validations of the safety related parts of control systems. The Machine Safety Alliance brings together experts of the collective technologies under one roof to provide comprehensive safety knowledge that is readily accessible.

Fortress Interlocks designs and manufactures safety interlocking systems, trapped key, key exchange, solenoid and non-solenoid guard switches and modular control devices that ensure safety by action in a pre-determined sequence.

The Machine Safety Alliance has organised a series of seminars at venues across the UK. Details at: www.machinery-safety-alliance.co.uk
