Pizzato P-Kube Safety Handles - Now available from LED Controls
Pizzato P-Kube - Smarter, Safer Access
Pizzato P-Kube Safety Handles combine a strong industrial door handle with advanced safety switch technology to keep your doors, gates, guards and hatches safe and secure. Designed to reduce wear, improve guard monitoring, increase operator safety and work seamlessly with the Pizzato Safety Product range, P-Kube Safety Handles are now available from LED Controls.
What Is an Industrial Safety Handle?
A safety handle is a door handle designed specifically for machine guards. It works together with a safety switch to make sure that nobody can gain access to a dangerous area. A safety switch is a device that tells the control system whether a guard door is open or closed. If the door opens while the machine is running, the switch sends a signal to stop the machine immediately.
Why Choose Pizzato P-Kube Safety Handles?
1. Reliable Door Alignment
Over time, heavy industrial doors can sag or move slightly. Even small misalignment can affect how a safety switch operates. Many P-Kube models use a robust metal self-centring pin. This guides the actuator into the switch with a wide insertion range. This ensures your door and switch line up correctly every time, reducing mechanical stress and improving long-term reliability.
2. High Holding Force for Locked Guards
Some P-Kube models are designed to work with RFID locking safety switches. These combinations can offer holding forces up to 9,750 N, meaning nobody's forcing the door or accidentally opening it while machines are running. This is especially important for machines with run-down time, where parts may continue moving even after power is removed.
3. Lock-Out for Maintenance Safety
Maintenance work is one of the highest risk activities in industry. A P-Kube handle can include an integral lock-out device. This allows a padlock to be fitted directly to the handle. When locked in the open position, the door cannot be closed accidentally. This helps prevent unexpected restart while someone is inside the guarded area. Some versions allow multiple padlocks to be fitted, supporting group lock-out procedures.
4. Anti-Tamper Protection with RFID
Traditional safety switches use a simple mechanical actuator. In some cases, these can be bypassed. P-Kube models compatible with RFID safety switches use coded technology. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. Each actuator has a unique electronic code, meaning the switch will only respond to its matched actuator. This gives you the highest level of protection against tampering and bypassing.
5. Integrated Control and Signalling
- Illuminated control buttons built into the grip
- RGB LEDs for clear, multi-colour visual status indication
- Customisable front grips
- Concealed fixing screws and cabling
