Safety switches for safety gate and position monitoring

Why not fit Pilz safety switches! They are suitable for applications in classic mechanical engineering as well as sectors with rigorous hygiene requirements, such as the food, packaging or pharmaceutical industry.

The PSEN housing is made from silicone-free PBT plastic, which is insensitive to dirt. It has a smooth surface with laser inscription and the housing material is resistant to many chemicals; also, PSEN safety switches are dust-tight and waterproof to comply with the high protection type IP69k.

Where danger zones are particularly hazardous, a machine must be stopped before the operator can reach it. PSENmech mechanical safety switches with guard locking ensure that guards remain in the closed position until any hazardous movement, such as a main spindle overrun, has been brought to a standstill.
PSENmech mechanical safety switches with guard locking can also prevent the safety device from being opened inadvertently while a process is running.

Thanks to the use of non-magnetic technology, PSENcode non-contact, coded safety switches are ideal for metal processing plant and machinery.

PSENmag and PSENcode can be used for applications in which potentially explosive atmospheres may arise due to gases or dust.

To achieve Categories 3 and 4 in accordance with EN 954-1, a PSENmech mechanical safety switch with guard locking may be combined with a PSENmech mechanical safety switch or a PSENmag / PSENcode non-contact safety switch. In this way it is possible to combine the benefits of the product ranges.

The installation of the safety switches PSENmag and PSENcode can be concealed. The PSENmag remains functional even when covered by non-magnetic materials. Similarly, PSENcode remains functional with non-electrically conductive materials.
