Interlocking systems
Safety at work thanks to controlled access authorisation
Safety at work thanks to controlled access authorisation
Our interlocking systems are a key element of the safety architecture in workshops and depots, particularly in the context of activating safety mechanisms and operating switches. They guarantee that all necessary safety precautions have already been taken against the hazards of electrical voltage before the work begins, while also serving as the mechanical interface between the overhead contact line system and the maintenance work.
We distinguish between mechanical and electrical interlocking systems.
Our mechanical interlocking systems are based on decades of experience and offer safety through manual handling.

Electrical interlocking systems
Our electrical interlocking systems have supplemented or replaced traditional mechanical systems in many areas, as they offer improved control and safety monitoring through software integration.
Advantages
Disadvantages
LA comparison of the two systems makes it clear that both mechanical and electrical locking systems have specific advantages and disadvantages that need to be weighed up depending on the application and safety requirements.
The main advantage of our interlocking systems is the increase in work safety. They minimise the risk of accidents and near-misses by enforcing the implementation of protective measures, and they also enable efficient and smooth operation by specifying safe operating sequences.
We record the locking devices created in protected locking plans to prevent unauthorised reproduction of cylinders or keys.
Our interlocking systems are therefore a basic requirement when it comes to safe and efficient operation in electrified depots and workshops.
