Safety Gate Solutions: Focus on Your Safety
May 23, 2025
Guard protection
Movable guards such as swing gates and sliding gates, flaps or covers are indispensable in industry. The protection of safeguards is regulated in EN ISO 14119. Versatile, flexible solutions are required for the various applications and installation situations.
Modular safety gate system, optimally tailored to your application
In order to enable work to be carried out safely while maintaining an optimum production flow for the respective application, it is crucial to take a holistic approach to safeguarding. In addition to the safety locking device, the following are also important for implementation: suitable handles, escape release, access management, as well and diagnostics and control.
Pilz’s modular safety gate system offers numerous components that you can combine to suit your individual requirements. That’s because each machine, each safeguard is different. Here you will find the appropriate solution for your safeguard!
Components for your individual safety gate solution
Safety locking devices and handles
Wide range of safety locking devices for process and personnel protection with appropriate accessories and handles
Control units and access management
The appropriate control unit, with or without access permission
Diagnostics, evaluation device and control
Comprehensive diagnostic and status information, as well as a selection of safety controllers
Individual safety gate solutions for each application
Safety gate solution for process protection
The safety locking device PSENslock 2 is used in combination with the control unit PITgatebox to safeguard the non-accessible safety gates. The sensors are connected safely in series and enable PL e, Cat. 4. Direct control is via the configurable small controller PNOZmulti 2.
Safety gate solution for personnel protection
The safety locking device PSENmlock enables safe guard locking for accessible safety gates. With a holding force of up to 7500 N, unintentional opening is prevented. Thanks to the optional escape release, PSENmlock can also be used in poorly visible areas.
Safety gate solution for space-critical applications
The compact safety locking device PSENmlock mini enables safe guard locking on accessible safety gates on which space is limited. Operation is via the pushbutton unit PITgatebox. With the decentralised I/O module PDP 67, the safety locking devices are connected directly in the field, which simplifies the wiring significantly.
