GBN-1 Gate Bolt (Sliding) for Non-Contact Switches

The IDEM GBN-1 Gate Bolt for non contact switches provides interlocking of the guard but ensures that unintentional restart is prevented.

A deliberate action of sliding and re-latching the gate bolt handle is required.

In conjunction with a Risk Assessment (ISO12100-1/ISO12100-2) they can be used to eliminate the risk of operators becoming accidentally trapped inside a guarded area.

Manufactured in the UK from extremely robust die-cast metal.

Switches are mounted to aluminium plates to maximize read range.

Over 30mm (11/4”) adjustability (handle bracket and switch bracket mounting holes are slotted) to compensate for varying door gaps.

There are padlock holes provided to lock the handle to prevent the guard from being closed and the machine started during maintenance.

Stainless steel guide prevents accidental closure, keeps safety switches properly aligned and acts as door latch.

All individual pieces are replaceable if damaged (handle, guide, individual brackets, etc.). Switch brackets are pre-drilled to accommodate non contact safety switches (as listed).

Unlocking of the Gate Bolt can only be achieved by sliding the handle.

(Optional Rear Handle accessory available if there is a requirement to escape from the guarded area.)

Requires deliberate re-closing when re-start is required.

GBN-1 Gate Bolts hold the guard closed when the handle is closed, providing shearing forces of up to 10,000N on hinged guards.
