Safety gate systems

Safety gate systems such as PSENmech with guard locking, PSENslock, PSENmlock and PSENsgate are used for guard protection. They monitor doors in safety fences as well as covers and flaps. Our safety gate systems provide you with a cost-optimised, effective solution, which meets the requirements of EN ISO 14119.

When a safety gate is opened, hazardous machine movements must be stopped in accordance with EN ISO 14119 and a restart must be prevented. It must not be possible to either defeat or manipulate the guards.

Safety gate systems from Pilz are particularly effective in meeting these requirements and incorporate additional functionalities – for greater economy.

As of now, PSENmech is available not just as a safety switch for pure safety gate monitoring but also as a safety gate system with guard locking. As a result it is guaranteed that the safety gate is locked until the hazardous production process has ended and a restart is prevented. The mechanical safety gate system PSENmech with guard locking is therefore suitable for personal and process protection, for flaps and also accessible gates. It can be combined with safe control technology such as the safety relay PNOZsigma or the configurable safe small controller PNOZmulti 2.

PSENmech with guard locking is the safety gate solution of choice if you are looking for a particularly economical basic solution to guarantee safety on safety gates. It covers the key basic requirements. Further below you’ll also find information about our safety gate solutions for advanced applications.

Notes:

(1) Bistable principle: Power-ON applied for guard locking and power-ON released for guard locking.​

(2) Auxiliary release or escape release is mandatory on PSENsgate and must also be ordered.

• Protects against hazardous movements and flying plant and machine parts by shutting down machine movements
• Prevents restart in accordance with EN ISO 14119
• Protective equipment is highly protected against manipulation
• Safe, complete solution with Pilz control technology
• Energy efficient – Thanks to reduced power consumption

• Monitoring of doors, covers and flaps in accordance with EN ISO 14119

With our modular safety gate system, we’re offering you an individual safety gate solution that’s perfectly coordinated to your application. So we’re enabling you to flexibly combine individual components to suit your requirements. Not only do you benefit from reliable safety gate safeguarding; you also profit from access permission management at the same time. This ensures that only authorised employees have access to the installation and can execute commands such as stop, unlock, lock or acknowledge.
