All-in-one safety gate
29 September 2014
New from Pilz, the PSENsgate 2 safety gate system combines safety gate monitoring (for prevention of unexpected startup), safe guard locking (to prevent access while hazards are present), various control elements, an emergency stop pushbutton (E-stop) and escape release (for personnel who become trapped in the hazardous area) all in one system, up to the highest category PL e as per EN ISO 13849-1 (BS EN ISO 13849-1 in the UK).
The robust, over-dimensioned bolt (or tongue) that forms part of the handle locking mechanism is a hybrid heavy-duty metallic bolt with an associated RFID coded element that communicates with the bi-stable locking shot-bolt in the switch body; in the unlikely event of the bolt breaking it will be detected and safety is assured to PL e.
