1. Passbox interlock system

Interlock is a system that ensures that 2 doors do not open at the same time, reducing the risk of cross-contamination in the cleanroom.

The mechanical interlock system is composed of an internal interlock and a sturdy external handle, while the electronic interlock system uses a built-in electronic circuit. When one of the doors is open, the indicator light on the other door doesn't light, the other door won't open. When the doors are closed, the electronic lock starts to function, and the indicator light is on indicating that the door can be opened.
