Machine Safety
Safety light curtains are available for numerous machine types and applications. From the small and efficient plastic enclosures of the SF4C-series to the heavy duty extruded metal bodies of their newest SF4D-series, Panasonic constructs safety light curtains for use in all equipment types. Whether you’re building an integrated solution for a semiconductor or laboratory environment, or a heavy duty machine for industrial applications, Panasonic has safety light curtain options to meet your requirements.
Panasonic SF4D heavy-duty safety light curtains
The physical durability of safety light curtains is directly associated with the quality and thickness of the extruded aluminum housing into which the electronics are installed.
Panasonic’s newest light curtains, the SF4D series, uses far thicker extrusion walls than competing products, resulting in vastly improved resistance to real world mechanical impacts and stresses.

Pizzato Elettrica provides automation and industrial safety solutions for customers all over the world.
Pizzato Elettrica is one of the leading European manufacturers of position switches, microswitches, safety devices, safety modules, foot switches, control and signalling devices, and devices for elevators. An entrepreneurial company such as Pizzato Elettrica bases its foundations on a solid and widely shared value system. The pillars that form the basis of the company’s work have remained constant, and constitute the fundamental guiding principles for all company activities.
NS Series Safety Switches
The integration of RFID technology into NS series devices makes them suitable for many types of applications. Pizzato offers two different versions of actuators, in order to best suit customers’ specific needs. Type F40 actuators are all encoded with the same code. This implies that a device associated with an actuator type F40 can be activated by other actuators type F40. Type F41 actuators are always encoded with different codes. This implies that a device associated with an actuator type F41 can be activated only by a specific actuator. Another F41 type actuator will not be recognized by the device until a new association procedure is carried out (reprogramming). After reprogramming, the old actuator F41 will no longer be recognized. Reprogramming of the actuator can be performed repeatedly.
Rope Pull E-stop Switches
Rope pull E-Stop switches from Pizzato are the result of decades of experience and cooperation with major industrial machine manufacturers. The products can be used in nearly all industrial applications.
The product range includes solutions for general start/stop applications as well as for emergency stop switches. The emergency-stop rope switches were the first on the market to satisfy the requirements of EN ISO 13850 with patented solutions in a small size. The range of products offered by Pizzato Elettrica is complemented with appropriate accessories for safe and long-term use, even under difficult environmental conditions. Among the latest product innovations, the fastening and tensioning systems of the “FAST” line are worth mentioning (patented). At the focus of this development was the fast installation and an attractive design that blends harmoniously into the designs of current machine generations
Safety Bumpers
The HP – HC series hinge switches from Pizzato combine safety and style in a single product. The electric switch is fully integrated into the mechanical hinge so that it is virtually invisible to an inexpert eye. This, asides from being an aesthetic advantage, guarantees greater safety as a switch which is difficult to identify is consequently even more difficult to tamper with. The rear mounting without screws in sight and the very precise line mean the switch can be perfectly integrated even with guards of machinery with a very precise design. Complementary hinges with purely mechanical functions are also available to ensure perfect alignment with the rest of the machine.
Single and Multi Function Safety Relays
With decades of experience in the field of safety and industrial automation, Pizzato offers the safety modules of the CS series, made for the main safety functions present in industrial machinery.
All CS series safety modules are implemented with cutting edge technology, and attention to detail.
They are produced on the premises of Pizzato Elettrica in Italy, using special SMT (surface mount technology) assembly lines that are able to operate with lead-free technology. This meets eco-compatibility requirements laid down by the RAEE and RoHS Directives.
