Fortress and Troax Partner up for Perimeter Guarding
Fortress safety interlocks pair with Troax mesh doors to form a simple, modular and tough machine guarding system
Erlanger, Ky. — Fortress Interlocks and Troax have combined forces, creating a new perimeter guarding system to prevent access to dangerous machinery. The system utilizes a unique new bracket that fits Fortress interlocks to Troax perimeter guarding panels, enabling the safeguarding of virtually any machinery installation.

Designed for both end users and OEMs, the easy-to-install brackets are 100% compatible with Fortress' modular amGardpro and tGard ranges of modular interlocks and Troax's modular mesh panels. Whatever configuration of interlocks or mesh panels is specified first, the brackets will always fit, making the system ideal for both new construction and retrofitting. The amGardpro and tGard interlocks combine solenoid or non-solenoid safety switches with full control functionality in one device, allowing use across a wide range of industrial applications.
The durable system is also impact resistant to 1600 joule. It has been tested in multiple configurations to ensure that the interlocks remain intact after significant force. While the mesh doors deform to absorb the shock, the safety switches remain intact and functional, ready to be installed on a replacement door.
