Euchner CKS2 lockout, starting key system

Treotham has released Euchner’s innovative, one-fits-all FlexFunction CKS key system, designed for the safe starting or stopping of dangerous machine movements independently of the installed safeguards. In combination with highly coded, transponder-based keys, Treotham’s key adapter CKS2 from Euchner forms a safe system that meets safety requirements for machine installation lockout and starting.

When combined with the Euchner IO-Link Gateways, the integral evaluation electronics in the compact CKS2 system provides comprehensive diagnostic and communication functions to users. Proven transponder technology and the use of keys with a high coding level provide maximum safety. Developed as a FlexFunction device, the CKS2 system can operate on a lock-out system, trapped key system or authorisation system as defined by the key version.

The CKS2 is also available as a submodule for the successful MGB2 door locking system. It is also suitable for use in fully automated logistics systems or complete turnkey installations.
