The SBILOKIR has an internal release slide bar that can also be operated from inside the guarded area. In an emergency, the internal lever can be moved away from the SBILOKIR as far as it will go. The mechanism prevents the operator from restarting the machine from inside the guard. The SBILOKIR also has a key operated auxiliary release in the event of power failure. It features LED status indication and is suitable for both sliding and hinged doors. operation - when machinery is in operation the tongue is trapped in the AutoLok with the access door securely closed. An integral solenoid prevents the tongue from being released. To open the guard door an operator must fi rst select stop on the machine control panel. Only when the machine has completed its run down cycle will the solenoid be energised. At this point a yellow light on the unit indicates that the tongue actuator can be released.

When removed, a red light is illuminated. Should an operator become locked inside the guarded area, the internal release button on the rear of the unit can be pressed, stopping the machine and unlocking the Slide Bar (SBI). The emergency release is reset by fi rst twisting the button then, removing the cover from the SBILOKIR and pushing the plunger.
