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:
