GBN-3 Gate Bolt (Latched) for Non-Contact Switches

The IDEM GBN-3 Gate Bolt for non contact switches provides interlocking of the guard but ensures that unintentional restart is prevented.

Instant unlocking from inside the guarded area (held by springs only). Requires deliberate re-closing when re-start is required.

GBN-3 Gate Bolts with instant rear escape release allow operators to immediately open a closed guard from inside the danger area just by pushing the guard door. No tools or keys are needed to allow instant rear escape.

These Gate Bolts do not lock the guard but are retained by springs to enable the guard to remain closed under normal operating conditions.

Whether opening the guard normally from the front (by using the handle) or by initiating the instant release by pushing the guard from inside the hazard zone the handle needs to be re-latched before the machine can be re-started.

A spring loaded stainless steel guide prevents the interlock being activated just by just closing or slamming the guard door.

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.
