FAQ

Are your barriers compatible with safety interlock systems?

  • Yes — all of our barriers, including the SB-4000 Retractable Barrier Fence, the SB-3000 Industrial Retractable Barrier, the SB-2000 Industrial Roll-Up Barricade, the SB-5000 Rolling Welding Curtains, and the SB-9000 Retractable Welding Screen, are fully compatible with any third-party safety interlock hardware. In factories, fabrication shops, and industrial facilities across the EU, safety interlocks are frequently required to meet the machinery-safety obligations set out in the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC — which will be superseded by Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 from 20 January 2027 — together with the Use of Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC. Under the associated harmonised standards, in particular EN ISO 14119 for interlocking devices associated with guards and EN ISO 14118 for the prevention of unexpected start-up, interlocks serve as a layer of protection that ensures machinery cannot operate while a barrier or guard is open, displaced, or removed.

    While we do not supply safety interlocks ourselves, AKON's retractable barriers, industrial barricades, and welding screens are all built to work seamlessly with third-party interlock hardware that conforms to EN ISO 14119, giving you an additional layer of control. This helps ensure your operation meets EU machinery and workplace-safety requirements without interfering with your workflow.
