Request a QuoteGuard locking holds a door closed until the machine has actually reached a safe state, which matters on any machine with stored energy or run-down time, where an interlock alone would let the guard open while the hazard is still present.
The MGB2 system is the modular version of EUCHNER's multifunctional gate box, achieving Category 4 / PL e for all safety functions to EN ISO 13849-1, with a locking force of 2000 N and IP65 protection. Bus modules integrate the unit directly into PROFINET/PROFIsafe, and the escape release, which lets someone trapped inside a cell open the guard from within, can be retrofitted at any time.
Send the EUCHNER order number and we will quote the direct replacement, or tell us the door configuration, handle side and network requirement and we will specify the assembly.

EUCHNER Guard Locking: Common Questions
An interlock reports whether the guard is closed. Guard locking physically holds it closed until the machine has reached a safe state, which is what you need wherever there is stored energy or run-down time and an interlock alone would let someone open the gate while the hazard is still present.
Category 4 and PL e for all safety functions to EN ISO 13849-1, with 2000 N locking force and IP65 protection.
Yes. On the MGB2 it can be retrofitted at any time rather than being specified at order, so someone who becomes trapped inside a guarded cell can open the door from within.
We do not recommend it. The machine was assessed against a specific device and rating, so we quote the direct replacement or the manufacturer's stated successor.
Yes. Send the order number, or the door configuration, handle side and network requirement, and we will specify the assembly.
