Interlock System An interlock system is a safety mechanism commonly integrated into machinery, equipment, and industrial processes to prevent hazardous conditions and ensure safe operation. The interlock system consists of sensors, switches, and control mechanisms that monitor specific conditions or actions and automatically disable or interrupt machine operations when predetermined safety criteria are not met.
Interlock systems are designed to prevent accidental access to dangerous areas, such as moving parts, high-voltage components, or confined spaces, by activating physical barriers, locking mechanisms, or emergency stop controls. By enforcing safety protocols and interlocking critical components, interlock systems help mitigate risks of injury, equipment damage, and workplace accidents in industrial environments. |
