NX B31CE1SMK-F60 Pizzato NX Series RFID safety switch

Why Choose the Pizzato NX B31CE1SMK-F60 RFID Safety Switch?

The Pizzato NX B31CE1SMK-F60 is an advanced RFID safety switch with guard locking designed for secure monitoring and controlled access on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato NX Series, it combines non-contact RFID actuator recognition, a bistable electromagnetic locking mechanism and electronic safety outputs in a compact industrial safety device.

This model is supplied complete with the VN NX-F60 low-level coded RFID actuator, which is factory programmed for the switch. The electronic actuator-recognition system provides reliable non-contact guard detection, while Mode 1 operation activates the OS1 and OS2 safety outputs when the actuator is inserted and securely locked.

The NX B31CE1SMK-F60 provides a substantial 6000 N locking force and incorporates both auxiliary and emergency escape-release functions. A 12-pole M12 connector simplifies integration with machine safety wiring, while IP67 / IP69K protection and an RGB LED status cap support dependable operation and clear diagnostics in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery

RFID safety switches with guard locking provide both electronic detection of a movable guard and mechanical retention where access to hazardous machinery must be controlled. The Pizzato NX platform uses non-contact RFID recognition together with electronic safety outputs, enabling the switch to communicate guard and lock conditions to a compatible machine-safety controller.

The NX B31CE1SMK-F60 combines this electronic architecture with a powerful 6000 N bistable locking mechanism. Its auxiliary and escape-release functions, dedicated status outputs and RGB LED indication provide additional functionality for machine builders requiring secure access control and straightforward diagnostics.

Typical Applications

• Machine safety doors and movable guards.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly cells.
• Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Production machinery requiring high-force guard retention.
• Industrial safety systems requiring monitored guard locking and emergency escape release.
