Pilz Slimline PSEN code safety switches

Pilz has released a Slimline version of its PSEN code safety switch which is suitable for assembly on gates, covers and flaps.

Coded safety switches PSENcode are used to monitor the position of guards and also for general position monitoring. The PSENcode range has been extended by the addition of a version in slimline design. In comparison with the compact design it has very low profile housing (13 mm height) at the same width.

Thanks to RFID transponder technology, the coded safety switches PSENcode combine maximum manipulation protection with a very small space requirement.

The latest member of the PSENcode range also enables installation on gates, covers or flaps in up to four actuation and approach directions and two different operating distances each. Thanks to its versatility, PSENcode offers design engineers a high degree of freedom when designing the machine to Cat 4 or PL e. So it is also possible to implement applications that were previously only realised using magnetic safety switches.

The Slimline Safety switches also come with a range of options such as a variety of operating ranges, a magnetic latching system that has a residual holding force and ensures the doors close exactly as positioned every time as well a variety of indication and diagnostic functions.
