Muting is the temporary, automatic suspension of a safety function during a machine's normal operation. It is mostly required when transporting material into or out of a danger zone. Indicate when protective devices are interrupted and thus warn persons against accidental or deliberate entering of hazardous areas. Use Pilz muting lamps PITsign!

• Either as components for monitoring muting functions or as a complete solution in conjunction with other Pilz products
• Increased safety for man and machine as the muting status is signalled
• Smooth production within muting areas
• Complete solution in conjunction with approved evaluation devices
• Safe, error-free control of the muting lamps
• Reliable monitoring of the lamp function

During the muting operation, the operator has to be alerted to the danger that is created by interrupting the safety function. PITsign muting lamps are specially designed for this purpose. They light up as soon as muting mode is started.

Use muting lamps PITsign wherever access to machinery or machine parts is secured through opto-electronic protective devices.

It may, for example, be used in:

• Machine or robot cells
• Laser welding plants
• Systems in the automotive industry

Use our PSENopt light barriers and muting lamps! You will get the perfect solution for handling and loading stations in which protective devices are interrupted for a short time. All advanced light barriers offer extended functionality such as muting, blanking and cascading. When the material moves through the gate, the light barrier is interrupted for a short time and the muting lamp comes on to prevent people from entering the hazardous area. Accessories range from deviating mirrors, post protectors for shock, collision and vibration protection, protective IP6k9k housing through to test rods.
