Core offering

EUCHNER USA designs and manufactures industrial safety interlocks, modular safety door systems (MGB2), transponder-coded electronic key systems (EKS2, CKS2), and IO-Link Safety switches for machine guarding and access control. The company also sells licensed configuration software (EKM2, TC2) and provides professional machinery safety services covering risk assessment, SISTEMA calculations, and CE certification support.

Product overview

EUCHNER provides industrial safety technology products organized around safety door systems, electronic access control, and key-based locking systems. The core portfolio centers on the MGB2 family (Modular for bus systems and Classic for direct control connection) providing safety door guarding with integrated access control, operation, and signaling. Supporting products include the EKS2 Electronic-Key-System for safe operating mode selection and centralized access management, and the CKS2 Safe Key System for lockout/authorization applications. IO-Link Safety products enable safe data communication over standard interfaces. The MGB2 supports PROFINET, EtherCAT(P), and EtherNet/IP protocols; EKS2 features PROFINET connectivity with integrated RT switch. Comprehensive Safety Services cover risk assessment through CE certification, with SISTEMA software for performance level verification.
