Schmersal AZ 15 ZVI Safety Interlock Switch

Schmersal AZ 15 ZVI Safety Interlock Switch is a safety-rated door interlock from Schmersal designed to secure machine guarding points and provide guard-status feedback to the control system, enabling immediate detection of guard position and a safe shutdown when a guard is opened. It carries a 600 VAC, 10 A electrical rating, making it suitable for integration into standard safety circuits that monitor gate position and feed back to the controller to prevent startup unless the guard is closed. The AZ 15 ZVI model is intended for industrial environments where access to hazardous areas must be prevented during equipment operation, helping ensure guarding remains intact to protect workers and support safe, predictable machine behavior. Common applications include guarding on industrial presses, conveyors, and packaging lines where a robust interlock solution is required to meet baseline safety needs and maintain line uptime. Built by Schmersal, this AZ 15 ZVI interlock is designed to integrate with standard control architectures, delivering dependable guard-status signals to the safety system.
