Why Choose the ABB ABB dalton m31 2TLA020038R3300?

The ABB ABB dalton m31 2TLA020038R3300 is a compact electromechanical process lock with a lockable ball latch designed for industrial machine guarding and access-control applications. Part of the ABB Jokab Safety Dalton range, it provides controlled locking of machine doors and gates to help prevent unwanted access or process interruption during normal machine operation.

The Dalton M31 operates from a 24 V DC supply and uses a 5-pin male M12 connector for straightforward integration into industrial control systems. The lock incorporates a non-safe information output that can provide status feedback to the machine control system, while the separate machine-safety interlocking function can be implemented using appropriate safety sensors and control equipment.

With an IP65 degree of protection, compact dimensions of approximately 95 × 80 × 24 mm and a net weight of approximately 0.306 kg, the Dalton M31 is well suited to space-conscious guarding installations. Its ball-latch mechanism provides reliable process locking for gates and doors on automated production machinery, robotic cells and other industrial equipment.

Key Advantages

  • Compact electromechanical process lock for industrial machine guards.
  • Robust lockable ball-latch mechanism helps keep doors and gates closed during operation.
  • 24 V DC supply suits standard industrial control systems.
  • 5-pin male M12 connector simplifies installation and replacement.
  • Integrated non-safe status output for machine-control feedback.
  • IP65 protection rating supports dependable use in industrial environments.

Key Features

  • ABB Dalton M31 process lock.
  • Electromechanical lockable ball latch.
  • 24 V DC supply voltage.
  • 5-pin male M12 connection.
  • One non-safe output for status information.
  • IP65 degree of protection.
  • Compact 95 × 80 × 24 mm construction.
  • Suitable for left- and right-hand machine-door arrangements.
  • Designed for surface mounting on industrial guards.
  • Process-locking function suitable for automated machinery and production systems.

Reliable Process Locking for Industrial Machine Guards

Process locks are used to keep machine guards closed while an automated process is running, helping prevent unwanted interruptions and improving control over access to production equipment. The ABB Dalton uses an electromechanical ball-latch mechanism that can hold a compatible lock tongue and release it when access to the guarded area is permitted.

The Dalton M31 provides the process-locking function through a compact 24 V DC device with an M12 connection. Unlike the Dalton M12 configuration, the M31 does not incorporate a dedicated female M12 connection for an Adam safety sensor, allowing the safety-monitoring arrangement to be selected separately according to the requirements of the complete machine safety system.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machine guard doors and gates.
  • Automated production and assembly machinery.
  • Robotic manufacturing cells.
  • Packaging and processing equipment.
  • Conveyor and material-handling systems.
  • Machine access and process-control installations.
