Who is EUCHNER and what does it make?
EUCHNER is a German manufacturer of safety systems for industrial machines, headquartered in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, near Stuttgart, founded in 1953. The range includes modular interlocks for movable guards from the MGB (Multifunctional Gate Box) family, transponder-coded access control systems EKS and CKS, magnetically or electromechanically coded safety switches, safety relays and emergency stop devices. For customers in Romania we can quote modules from these families, starting from the full code on the label of the device already fitted on the machine.
The particular feature of the MGB family is its modular architecture: the type code separates the door locking function (L0 without locking, L1 spring locking, L1H with handle module, L2 solenoid locking) from the type of electrical connection, so the suitable version is chosen without redesigning the safety loop of the installation. The modules reach performance level PL e according to EN ISO 13849 and comply with EN ISO 14119, with M12 or M23 (RC18) connection; the current required on the locking control input is only 3 mA.
EUCHNER means access to verified interlock modules for lines where access doors are opened frequently — automated warehouses, robotic cells, machine tools with perimeter guarding. We recommend the brand where the project requires a high performance level of the safety function and a clear type code, traceable on the label of the equipment.
What do we supply from the EUCHNER range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| MGB (Multifunctional Gate Box) | Modular interlock system with door locking, for protecting movable access doors on machines. The type code separates the locking function (L0 without locking, L1 spring, L1H with handle module, L2 solenoid) from the connection type (ARA for modules chained in series, APA for individual connection). It reaches performance level PL e according to EN ISO 13849 and complies with EN ISO 14119. For a quotation, send the full code from the label of the fitted module, the door hinge direction and the connector type used in the installation. |
| EKS / EKS2 / CKS — transponder coded systems | Family of identification systems with transponder code, which make the start of a machine conditional on the presence of an electronic key assigned to an operator cleared to run it. EKS and EKS2 cover standard applications of access control to controls, while CKS is a transponder coded system from the same family. The systems work independently of the MGB family, but can be integrated into the same safety loop of the machine, useful where a certain working cycle must be limited to trained personnel. |
| Magnetically and electromechanically coded safety switches | Contactless, magnetically coded switches, alongside electromechanical switches with or without guard locking, for doors and guards where an MGB interlock would be oversized. The magnetic versions eliminate contact wear and tolerate small door misalignments; the electromechanical ones offer a simpler solution for fixed guards that are rarely opened. For each version, EUCHNER publishes the connection method and the reference interlock standard, which we check before quoting. |
Why EUCHNER?
- Modular MGB architecture — the locking function (L0, L1, L1H, L2) and the connection type are chosen independently, without changing the rest of the installation
- High performance level — MGB modules reach PL e according to EN ISO 13849, suited to high-risk safety loops
- Compliant with the EN ISO 14119 interlock standard, with M12 or M23 (RC18) connection options to match the existing wiring
- Complementary coded access systems — EKS and CKS make machine start-up conditional on the presence of an assigned electronic key

- Food and pharmaceutical industry — conditional access on lines with sanitation requirements
How do we supply EUCHNER in Romania?
We bring in EUCHNER modules from the MGB, EKS and CKS families made to order, through EU sourcing channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation. We work only with the manufacturer's technical documentation: for each request we check the full code on the label of the existing device, the door hinge direction and the connector type, then confirm compatibility before sending the quotation. Each lead time is checked individually by us, through our EU sourcing channels. Send us the code from the label or, if it is missing, the locking function desired.
We do not design the machine's safety loop; we supply the confirmed EUCHNER module together with the manufacturer's data sheet.
Frequently asked questions about EUCHNER
What product range does EUCHNER have?
EUCHNER makes safety systems for industrial machines: door interlock modules from the MGB family, EKS and CKS transponder access systems, magnetically or electromechanically coded safety switches and safety relays. The range covers both the protection of movable access doors and the conditional start-up control of machines.
How do I choose the right MGB module from the code on the label?
The type code separates the locking function (L0, L1, L1H or L2) from the connection type (ARA for chained modules, APA for individual connection). Read the full code from the label of the fitted device, note the door hinge direction and the connector type, then send us this data so we can check compatibility before the quotation.
Can you supply EUCHNER products in Romania, and within what lead time?
Yes, we bring in EUCHNER modules made to order through EU sourcing channels, usually within 1–4 weeks, depending on the manufacturer's confirmation for the code requested. We do not promise a shorter lead time, and we confirm the availability of each code at the time of the order.
What details should I specify for a quotation on a EUCHNER product?
The full code from the label of the existing device — for example MGB-L1H-ARA or the code of an EKS key — plus the connector type used and, for MGB modules, the door hinge direction. These details allow us to check compatibility in the EUCHNER documentation before sending the quotation.
How do I request a EUCHNER quotation?
Send the EUCHNER code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
