Pilz
Pilz GmbH & Co. KG is the technology leader in safe automation technology. In this area, Pilz is consistently developing into a total supplier with solutions for safety and automation technology. The aim of Pilz is to automate machines and installations in such a way that the safety of people, machines and the environment is always guaranteed.
Pilz offers complete automation solutions with the core competence of safety - from the sensors and controls to the actuators. The product range is supplemented by corresponding software tools, diagnostic and visualisation systems and services. This results in complete system solutions. However, complete also means that our solutions include both automation and safety functions. For this we merge safety and automation into one solution.
Pilz solutions are used in all areas of mechanical and plant engineering, including the packaging and automotive industries, robotics and the wind and rail sectors. The solutions also ensure that baggage transport systems at airports operate safely, that theatre scenery moves smoothly and that cable cars or roller coasters are safe.
The safe robot cell | From safety system to safety solution
Complete safety in and around the robot cell
Secure fencing systems such as PSENmech with lock, PSENslock, PSENmlock and PSENsgate are used for securing fences. They guard doors in fences as well as hoods and flaps. With the secure fencing systems, you get a cost-effective and effective solution that meets the requirements of EN ISO 14119.
Fence switch PSENmlock
To our catalog
The safe gate sensor PSENmlock offers safe locking and safe detection in one product. The latter is made possible by the two-channel control of the lock. This makes the switch particularly suitable for machines with a dangerous trailing edge where safe locking to PL d or PL e is required.
Fence sensor PSENslock
To our catalog
With the non-contact safety gate sensors PSENslock you get safe gate monitoring with a non-contact operating holding magnet (500 or 1000 N) in just one device. With this combination of safe position monitoring and process locking, PSENslocks are universally applicable - up to the highest safety category - and they are also suitable for series connection.
PITgatebox button unit
To our catalog
With the PITgatebox button unit, you can control gate switches and systems simply and flexibly. In addition, commands such as activating, stopping or resetting your machine or system can also be controlled.
RFID-system PITmode Fusion
To our catalog
The modular PITmode operating mode selection system consists of the PITreader reading unit with RFID technology and an evaluation unit (Safe Evaluation Unit - SEU). These components are also available separately. The PITmode fusion combines very well with the PITgatebox.
PNOZmulti 2 Special configuration tool PNOZmulti 2
To our catalog
A configuration tool is available for the PNOZmulti 2 controller especially for safety fences. With it, you can easily create your safety circuitry on a PC. The configuration tool supports you in the planning, configuration, documentation and commissioning of the Pilz controllers. Now also with offline simulation! PNOZmulti, the second generation, offers not only simple use as a safety relay but also flexible use as a programmable controller! The basic modules are compressed to 45 mm width and have an illuminated display. The modular design is as flexible as your application. Safe analogue input modules, bipolar output[1] modules, motion monitoring modules and many more comprehensive options are available for implementing your state-of-the-art safety applications.
It is impossible to imagine today's industrial environments without robots. Due to the possibility of upscaling production and reducing production time, developments in this area are moving fast. The safety and security of these environments are often the last in line of these developments.
Safe laser scanner PSENscan
To our catalog
The safe laser scanner PSENscan is also suitable for securing areas that require vertical applications, such as access protection. Furthermore, PSENscan applications can be made more flexible by means of integrated muting inputs, which minimises downtimes and increases profitability. The response time is reduced and the Light, Master and Slave variants can define up to 70 switchable configurations and monitor up to three separate zones simultaneously.
PSENradar
To our catalog
Safe guarding of protected rooms under tough operating conditions The range of safety sensors has been extended by a safe radar system, the PSENradar. With the world's first safe total solution based on radar technology, rooms can be protected under almost all conditions. This solution consists of the safe radar system LBK system from Inxpect S.p.A. and the configurable small control unit PNOZmulti 2. This complete solution guarantees high availability even under external influences such as dust, dirt, rain, light, sparks or vibrations.
PSENopt II: Light curtains for optical protection
To our catalog
The second generation of non-contact light sensors PSENopt II ensure safe intervention in the production process and, depending on the requirements, offer finger, hand and body protection. Thanks to their high robustness, the PSENopt II sensors offer protection against shocks, collisions and vibrations and are therefore suitable for use in demanding industrial environments. The LEDs allow the operator to evaluate the most important causes for the machine stop and system faults. Downtimes are thus reduced. The light barriers from Pilz are the fastest on the market and can therefore be placed close to the danger. Pilz is the only manufacturer to offer a type 3 light curtain. These screens are cheaper than the type 4 screens and can still achieve PL d.
