Why Choose the Pizzato VF KB2 Lock-Out Device?
The Pizzato VF KB2 is a dedicated padlockable lock-out device designed for compatible Pizzato FG and FY series safety switches. It is fitted over the actuator entry of the safety switch to prevent an actuator from being inserted while personnel are working inside a hazardous machine area.
The VF KB2 provides an important additional measure for machinery maintenance and access procedures. By blocking the actuator entry, the device helps prevent the associated guard door from being accidentally closed behind an operator while they remain inside the danger area. The device can then be secured using a suitable padlock, helping support controlled lock-out procedures on industrial machinery.
Designed specifically for the Pizzato FG and FY safety switch families, the VF KB2 features a 9 mm padlock hole diameter and is supplied with a retaining chain. Its simple mechanical design makes it a practical safety accessory for machine builders, maintenance engineers and industrial users requiring a physical means of preventing actuator insertion during access to guarded machinery.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed lock-out device for compatible Pizzato FG and FY series switches.
- Physically prevents actuator entry while fitted to the safety switch.
- Helps prevent the accidental closing of a guard door behind personnel in a danger area.
- Padlockable design supports controlled maintenance and machine access procedures.

Reliable Lock-Out Protection for Machine Guarding
Safety-switch lock-out devices provide a straightforward physical means of helping protect personnel who need to enter hazardous machine areas for maintenance, cleaning, adjustment or servicing. Once installed over the actuator entry, the VF KB2 prevents the guard actuator from engaging the compatible FG or FY safety switch, helping prevent the door from being inadvertently returned to its normal operating condition.
The padlockable design allows the lock-out device to remain secured while an operator is inside the danger area. This makes the VF KB2 a useful component in machine safety procedures where prevention of accidental guard closure and actuator insertion is required alongside the wider isolation and lock-out measures established for the machinery.
