A mechanical interlock is a safety mechanism designed to prevent two or more operations from occurring simultaneously, ensuring that only one operation can be performed at a time. It is commonly used in machinery and electrical systems to enhance safety by physically blocking the operation of one component until another has been safely deactivated or positioned.
