Products of the year 2024Safety & Security - The winners
In theory, protection against unauthorized access is the declared aim of all winners in the 'Safety & Security' category. In practice, however, they could not be more different.
2nd place - Euchner
One of the latest developments in transponder-coded solenoid interlocks from Euchner is the 'CTS' safety switch. Thanks to its small dimensions (135 mm × 31 mm × 31 mm), a maximum locking force of 3900 N and its flexible installation options, the switch can be used in a variety of ways, according to the manufacturer. The switch has three possible installation orientations so that it can secure swing and sliding doors. An escape release can be retrofitted at any time. As a transponder-coded safety switch with guard locking, it offers the highest level of safety.
With the 'FlexFunction', it also combines various functions in one device that are otherwise only found in individual variants. Users can choose between a variant with or without guard locking monitoring and with high- or low-coded evaluation of the actuator code. The function is selected via the corresponding actuator. Various connection options are available.
