Why Choose the Pizzato FS1896D230-F3 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FS1896D230-F3 is a high-performance safety interlock switch with guard locking, designed for advanced machine safety applications where controlled access and secure locking are critical. As part of the robust Pizzato FS series, this model integrates mechanical position detection with solenoid-controlled locking for enhanced protection in industrial environments.
This version features a separate actuator with locking mechanism, ensuring that machine guards remain securely closed during operation. The solenoid-controlled locking system allows controlled release only under safe conditions, helping to prevent accidental access to hazardous machinery.
With a 230 V AC/DC supply and adjustable actuator in two directions, the FS1896D230-F3 offers flexible installation and dependable operation in demanding industrial automation systems.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with guard locking for high-risk machinery.
- Solenoid-controlled locking mechanism improves operator safety.
- Positive opening contacts ensure reliable circuit disconnection.
- Durable industrial housing for harsh environments.
- Adjustable actuator for flexible mounting.
- Designed for integration into advanced safety systems.
Key Features
- Pizzato FS series safety switch with guard locking.
- Model: FS1896D230-F3
- Contact configuration: 1 NC + 1 NO
- Solenoid operated locking system.
- Working method D: locked actuator with de-energised solenoid.
- Rotating head with adjustable actuator direction.
- IP67 protection rating for industrial use.
- Three conduit entries (PG 13.5) for wiring flexibility.
Enhanced Machine Safety with Guard Locking
Unlike standard limit switches, the FS1896D230-F3 provides guard locking functionality, ensuring that machine guards cannot be opened while hazardous motion is present. The solenoid keeps the actuator locked until a safe condition is confirmed, helping meet strict safety requirements in industrial environments.
This makes it particularly suitable for machinery requiring controlled access, such as automated production systems and high-risk processing equipment.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding with controlled access systems.
- Packaging and automated production lines.
- Robotic cells and safety enclosures.
- Conveyor systems with safety gates.
- Industrial machinery requiring interlocked guards.
- OEM equipment and automation systems.
