Electromechanical latch

An electromechanical latch, comprising:

• a first timing circuit that receives an indication that a control signal has been received, the first timing circuit configured to output a first timing pulse responsive to receiving the indication, the first timing pulse rising at a first start time and falling at a first end time;
• a second timing circuit that receives the indication that the control signal has been received, the second timing circuit configured to output a second timing pulse responsive to receiving the indication, the second timing pulse rising at a second start time and falling at a second end time, the second start time subsequent to the first start time and prior to the first end time, the second end time being subsequent to the first end time;
• a first motor that drives a first rotary latch part responsive to the first timing circuit outputting the first timing signal, the first rotary latch part positioned to prevent rotation of a second rotary latch part in a first direction prior to the first motor driving the first rotary latch part, the first motor driving the first rotary latch part such that the second rotary latch part is rotatable in the first direction;
• and
• a second motor that drives the second rotary latch part responsive to the second timing circuit outputting the second timing signal, the second motor causing the second rotary latch part to rotate in the first direction a threshold distance, wherein the electromechanical latch is in an open position only after the second rotary latch is rotated in the first direction the threshold distance.
