Smart Process Guard Lock for reduced Downtimes

Unplanned downtime caused by complex error diagnostics, time-consuming troubleshooting, and hard-to-locate faults, as well as risks like tampering or unsafe working conditions, presents significant challenges in modern production.

Our HOLDX guard locking device provides the solution. With real-time diagnostics for fast error detection, intelligent self-maintenance to minimize unexpected failures and seamless integration into control systems like Siemens or Beckhoff, HOLDX enhances efficiency, ensures maximum machine safety and guarantees high machine availability.

 

Your Advantages with the HOLDX R Safety Switch

 

Bluetooth

The intelligent guard locking device HOLDX R enables communication with your PLC via diagnostic outputs or wirelessly through Bluetooth, using a smartphone or laptop.

LED-Diagnosis

Dual-sided LED indicators allow for quick and easy fault detection, enabling proactive maintenance actions like cleaning or realigning the locking mechanism, ensuring long-term system functionality.

Mounting

The combination of RFID technology and an advanced electromagnet ensures high tolerance for door misalignment. This increases machine availability, even with inaccurate door positioning.

 

Real-time fault detection

The intelligent HOLDX R  safety switch provides automatic fault notifications, eliminating the need for manual fault checking.

LED-Diagnosis

The magnetic safety integrates easily into Siemens and Beckhoff control systems via plug-and-play and pre-configurated modules.

Future-proof

With the HOLDX, you are ready for the future. It complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG, meets EN ISO 14119 safety standards, and is also IO-Link-compatible.

 

 

 

HOLDX - Simplified Series Connection

The HOLDX R2 allows for an intelligent series connection of up to 30 process guard locking systems, making integration straightforward and efficient.

 

 

 

 

 

Technical Details: Smart Process Guard Locking HOLDX

 

 

Two Design Variants

The HOLDX RS and HOLDX RL models combine a safe, contactless RFID safety sensor with an intelligent electromagnet- all within a single device.

Seamless Series Connection & Advanced Diagnostics

The HOLDX R2 enables a smart and simple series connection of up to 30 safety devices. With dual pigtail cables, direct chaining is possible without terminal boxes, Y-distributors, or junction boxes. This saves both costs and valuable time during commissioning

 

 

Predictive Maintenance through Self-Monitoring

The HOLDX R process guard locking independently and intelligently monitors the application, the process, and the downstream actuators in the safety circuit. Faults - whether in a series connection or in individually wired systems - are quickly detected without requiring additional diagnostic tools.

 

 

 

 

LED Status Indicators

The dual-sided LEDs provide immediate fault alerts. If an additional process guard locking in the system fails to reach the required locking force or if a fault occurs in the input or output circuit of the locking, it is immediately indicated. This enables preventive maintenance, ensuring maximum operational reliability.

 

 

 

Application Examples - Smart Series Connection for Multiple Doors

Packaging machines often have several access gates that must be available for setup or maintance. In safety circuits with more than ten doors, managing safety efficiently become crucial. The smart HOLDX R2 is specifically designed for such requirements.

FAQ - Essential Insights into Magnetic Process Guard Locking

 

What is a Process Guard Locking?

A process guard locking is a safety device that ensures protective doors or other separating safety barriers can only be opened once a hazardous machine movement has completely stopped.

 

Is the HOLDX R suitable for large doors?

Yes, the HOLDX R provides a locking force of up to 1200 N, making it ideal for large doors.

 

Which Control Systems are suppoted?

HOLDX R integrates easily with Siemens, Beckhoff, and more, via Plug-and-Play connectivity.
