Why Choose the Pizzato FX2096 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FX2096 is a robust industrial hinged safety switch designed for machine guarding, access detection, and safety interlocking applications. As part of the reliable Pizzato FX series, it delivers high-performance guard monitoring for automated machinery and industrial safety systems.
This model is engineered for installation on hinged guards and protective machine doors, where it detects angular movement to ensure safe operating conditions. When the guard is opened beyond the safety angle, the internal switching mechanism immediately opens the safety contacts, stopping machine operation and helping protect operators from hazardous movement.
Built with a durable industrial housing and precision slow-action contact system, the FX2096 is designed for long mechanical life, stable performance, and consistent safety operation even in demanding environments. Its compact design and dual cable entry make it easy to integrate into control panels and machine safety circuits.

Reliable Machine Safety for Industrial Automation
The Pizzato FX2096 ensures safe machine operation by monitoring the position of hinged guards. When the guard is opened, the switch immediately triggers a safety circuit interruption, stopping hazardous machine movement and protecting operators and equipment.
This makes it ideal for applications where direct hinge-based monitoring is preferred, eliminating the need for separate actuators while maintaining strong safety performance in modern automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Hinged machine guard monitoring systems.
- Industrial automation safety circuits.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Robotics safety enclosures.
- Material handling equipment.
- OEM machine design and integration.
