Euchner Handles & Enclosures | Modular Safety Interfaces for Industrial Access Control
Euchner’s handles and enclosure systems are engineered to combine access control, machine safety, and human-machine interaction in a single modular solution. Built to support electromechanical safety switches, guard locking systems, and operator signaling, these components form the physical interface between man and machine in high-risk industrial environments.
Integrated Safety and Control in One Housing
From multifunctional gate boxes to compact actuator stations, Euchner enclosures are designed with flexibility in mind. Operators can configure:
-
Integrated switches with M12 plug connectors
-
Selector switches, key-operated rotary switches, and illuminated pushbuttons
-
Auxiliary release mechanisms and escape release functions
-
Submodules (MSM) for I/O expansion, diagnostics, or fieldbus communication
-
Secure access via CKS2 key systems
Whether you’re building out a safety network for robotic cells or automating access to a palletizing system, these enclosures ensure reliable locking, fast commissioning, and ergonomic usability.
Reliable Locking with Intelligent Hardware
Euchner’s locking handles operate on the closed-circuit current principle, ensuring safety even in power loss conditions. With options like the MGB2 series, users benefit from:
-
Intelligent bolt tongues that resist tampering
-
Automatic lockout mechanisms for maintenance mode
-
Protective collars and slide-in labels for intuitive operator interaction
-
Full compliance with EN ISO 13849-1 and EN IEC 62061 (PL e / SIL 3)
Seamless Integration and Customization
Thanks to Euchner’s function expansion architecture, engineers can build tailored control stations with:
-
Fieldbus-compatible expansion modules (EtherCAT, PROFINET, CANopen)
-
Quick mounting kits, cable sets, and M12 plug connectors
-
Diagnostic-ready LEDs and slide-in emergency labeling
-
Ready-to-download documentation, CAD files, and wiring guides
Euchner enclosures are deployed in packaging lines, press automation, AGVs, and mobile machinery across logistics and manufacturing sectors — wherever reliable access control and certified safety are non-negotiable.
