Why Choose the Pizzato FC3393 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FC3393 is a compact key-operated safety switch designed for machine guarding, interlock control, and industrial safety applications. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it provides reliable monitoring of guard doors, access panels, and machine safety gates, ensuring machinery stops safely when protective doors are opened or unlocked.
Engineered for industrial environments, the FC3393 features a rugged metal housing and high IP67 protection rating, ensuring resistance to dust, water, and vibration. It is widely used in automation systems, production machinery, and safety guarding applications where controlled access and machine interlocking are required.
This model is designed for use with a dedicated actuator/key system, ensuring that machine operation is only possible when the correct safety key is inserted and the guard is properly closed. This helps prevent accidental startup and improves operator safety in compliance with modern machine safety standards such as EN ISO 14119.
Key Advantages

Reliable Machine Guard Interlocking
The FC3393 operates by using a dedicated key/actuator system that controls access to machine guards or safety doors. When the guard is opened or the key is removed, the safety contacts immediately change state, triggering a machine stop or preventing restart.
This ensures that hazardous machine movement cannot occur while a guard is open, helping to protect operators and maintenance personnel during servicing or inspection tasks.
