4008321206 Solenoid Latching Safety Interlock Switch AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024

When a machine guard can be opened before the spindle or feed has stopped, the risk is real. This switch keeps the guard locked until dangerous conditions after power removal have abated. Solenoid-latching control can come from a time delay, motion detector, position sensor or other suitable component.

The AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024 is a solenoid-latching safety interlock switch with an electromechanical safety section using positive-break NC contacts. Its housing is glass-fibre reinforced self-extinguishing thermoplastic in black, and the independent actuator key is stainless steel with a defeat-resistant design. It fits Homag woodworking machines as a safety component; confirm by matching Homag part number 4-008-32-1206 and the terminal arrangement: 1 NO and 2 NC solenoid-latching monitoring contacts.

A mechanical linkage prevents the solenoid position contacts from changing unless the key is inserted, so guard position and solenoid state are monitored together. An auxiliary manual unlocking device is provided for installation and for use in the event of a power failure.

Each switch is supplied as the unit only, with no additional packing or customisation stated. Send the machine model, the Homag part number 4-008-32-1206, the manufacturer SKU AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024 and a photo of the existing switch's label and terminal block with your enquiry. That lets the supplier confirm the solenoid-latching configuration and contact count before dispatch.

What the specification fixes, and what it leaves to the machine:

• Solenoid-latching guard hold — Locks the guard until dangerous conditions after power removal have abated, controlled by a time delay, motion detector or position sensor.
• Positive-break safety contacts — The electromechanical section uses positive-break NC contacts, so the safety circuit opens when the guard is not closed.
• Independent key monitoring — Separate actuator key position and solenoid-latching monitoring contacts let the control system check guard state and lock state.
• Mechanical linkage interlock — A mechanical linkage prevents the solenoid position contacts from changing unless the key is inserted, tying lock feedback to guard closure.
• Defeat-resistant stainless key — The actuator key is stainless steel with a defeat-resistant design, so a simple substitute cannot easily bypass the guard.
• Self-extinguishing thermoplastic housing — The black housing is glass-fibre reinforced self-extinguishing thermoplastic, chosen for the machine's safety component enclosure.
• Auxiliary manual unlocking — A manual unlocking device aids installation and allows release in the event of a power failure on the unlocking-by-solenoid model.
• Homag machine fitment — Fits Homag woodworking machines as a safety component; confirm against Homag part number 4-008-32-1206 on the machine's parts list.
• Contact configuration check — The solenoid mechanism provides 1 NO and 2 NC solenoid-latching monitoring contacts, which must match the existing wiring.

What changes on the shop floor once the unit is in place:

• Guard stays locked after power off. Dangerous conditions can persist after the supply is removed; solenoid latching holds the guard until a time delay, motion detector or position sensor confirms the hazard has cleared.
• Safety circuit opens on guard movement. Positive-break NC contacts in the electromechanical section mean the safety circuit is broken when the guard is not closed, so the machine cannot restart with access open.
• Lock state is visible to the control. The 1 NO and 2 NC solenoid-latching monitoring contacts report lock status, letting the machine control sequence start only when the guard is closed and locked.
• Feedback cannot be faked without the key. The mechanical linkage prevents the solenoid position contacts from changing unless the key is inserted, so a wedged or missing key will not show a false locked condition.
• Key resists defeat attempts. The stainless steel actuator key has a defeat-resistant design, which raises the effort needed to bypass the interlock compared with a simple flat key.
• Manual release for setup and power loss. The auxiliary manual unlocking device helps during installation and gives a controlled way to release the guard in the event of a power failure.

Match Homag part number 4-008-32-1206 on your machine's parts list and compare the terminal block to the AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024. The switch is a safety component for Homag woodworking machines; the part number is the fitment check.

The safety section has positive-break NC contacts, and the solenoid mechanism has 1 NO and 2 NC solenoid-latching monitoring contacts. Check these against your existing wiring before ordering.

A solenoid holds the guard locked until dangerous conditions after power removal have abated, controlled by a time delay, motion detector, position sensor or other suitable component. The mechanical linkage prevents the solenoid position contacts from changing unless the key is inserted.

Yes, an auxiliary manual unlocking device is provided for use in the event of a power failure when using the unlocking-by-solenoid model. It also aids installation.

The black housing is glass-fibre reinforced self-extinguishing thermoplastic. The actuator key is stainless steel with a defeat-resistant design.

Send the machine model, Homag part number 4-008-32-1206, manufacturer SKU AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024 and a photo of the old switch's label and terminal block. That confirms the configuration before dispatch.

The unit consists of the interlock switch section and the actuator key. The key is stainless steel with a defeat-resistant design; confirm the key is supplied with your order by referencing the manufacturer SKU.

No customisation is stated for this item; it is supplied as the AZM161CC-12/12RKEU-024 with 1 NO and 2 NC solenoid-latching monitoring contacts. Ask the supplier about other configurations if your machine needs them.
