NX series RFID safety switch with lock is the world's smallest device in its category. > Maximum technology in the minimum volume Its dimensions of just 30x30x94.5 mm, and its volume of only 85 cm3 make the NX series safety switch, the smallest in the world in its category. > High safety standards guaranteed This switch offers all the well-established features of the Pizzato brand, such as the RFID technology installed in the actuator and the highest guaranteed safety levels PL e and SIL 3. > Metal head and technopolymer body The housing of this device is made of two different materials: the metal head ensures maximum impact and strength when the door is locked, and the technopolymer body ensures the lightweight and flexible construction of the device. > Fast diagnosis of operational state thanks to the RGB LEDs The illuminated cap positioned on the head of the device allows a quick diagnostic of inputs and outputs functional states. > Bistable operating principle This new operating method activates the internal solenoid by means of short electrical impulses that stabilise its position in either the unlocked or locked state. The most significant advantage resulting from this is the considerable reduction in energy consumption and warming up of the switch. > Straightforward mounting Mounting is carried out using just two M5 screws on the front with a hole spacing of 20 mm, whereby it plays no role whether the doors open to the right or left or if they are sliding or hinged doors. This is achieved by the presence of three entry openings for the actuator, which eliminate the need to rotate the head or the switch. > Recent updates for this device: - Three auxiliary releases in a single device, one corresponding to each actuator input - Various connection options: with an integrated M12 connector connection, cable wiring with variable cable length (up to 10 metres) or cable wiring with cable length up to 3 metres and M12 connector at the end.

The new P-KUBE Lite safety handle joins the P-KUBE family, for an even wider range of devices. This new model, made of a strong technical plastic, is ergonomic and functional whilst maintaining the distinctive modern design of the P-KUBE family. The handle is compatible with FG and FY series safety locking switches. The sliding grip enables easy and immediate activation of the switch. With the actuator fixed directly to the handle, its removal is impossible, ensuring a greater level of security. The symmetrical design of the P-KUBE Lite safety handle makes it unique on the market and enables installation from multiple sides, regardless of its configuration. It can be installed on hinged or sliding doors, both on the left or right side. The strong centring pin on the handle has a dual purpose: It means the actuator must be correctly inserted into the switch, preventing misalignment of the doors and consequent failed activation of the switch. It prevents direct collision between the switch and actuator in the event that the door is closed with force. The use of snap-on protection caps prevents tampering with fixing screws on the handle and enables free installation with standard screws instead of tamper-proof screws. Integration options - Block button; - Key lock; - Device for locking the handle in the open position; - Lock-out system; - Internal lever for emergency escape.

Hanser is expanding its portfolio with a completely new product family: a thoroughly designed selection of various casters and wheels. Hanser’s standard parts selection is growing once again – with the recent addition of an entirely new category for wheels and casters. The establishment of the new catalog group 3.10 is a clear indication that these mobility-enabling standard parts will have all the room they need. That is only logical given that the wheels and casters serve to complement their proven but static leveling feet relatives, which are available in many different versions. As always, Hanser is entirely focused on practical requirements: the individual types are organized according to the applicable ISO testing procedures, making it easy to associate them with the most important configuration parameters. For example, the new range includes light duty casters with low load capacity, medium duty casters for industrial use and heavy duty casters designed for high dynamic loads coupled with higher travel speeds. Casters are ready-to-install parts consisting of a wheel and a bracket, with the latter generally made of bent sheet steel, except for the heavy duty versions of welded steel. The bracket, available in swivel or fixed versions, holds the wheel and serves for mounting the caster. Fixed casters provide lateral guidance to ensure stable travel both straight and on curves. The swivel brackets with ball bearings enable maximum maneuverability with 360-degree rotation and movement in any direction, a property that is particularly advantageous in tight spaces. Optionally integrated total lock brakes prevent the wheel from turning or rotating in the steering axis, and variants are also available with extendable leveling feet for an even more secure stand. More information on Hanser standard parts can be found on the internet at Hanser.ch

The software for programming the modules of the Gemnis series is available in the new Gemnis Studio version 12 which has a fully updated graphic layout and new programming functionality. With retractable side panels housing the sensors and function blocks, the field available for working in the programme is now larger and neater, with the option of choosing between light and dark display themes. The advanced menu groups the sensors according to electrical type so as to guide the programmer in choosing the correct sensor for the project. New function blocks with mathematical functions have been introduced which are very useful for applications with frequency inputs for speed control or with current inputs for analogue sensors. Another important new feature is the option of disabling the test pulses of the PNP safety outputs. The electronic safety outputs of the Gemnis modules are always protected and monitored for dangerous faults. In order to perform this monitoring, test impulses (i.e. very short switch-offs of the outputs) are created in the safety outputs while the outputs are active. These test impulses are generally undetectable on passive loads (contactors or similar); in rare cases, however, they can disturb the inputs of digital devices such as PLCs or electronic drives. With Gemnis Studio 12, it is possible to disable the test impulses of the PNP safety outputs in cases where the application requires it. Faults such as short-circuits to the external positive pole are still detectable when the outputs are switched off. The new Gemnis Studio 12 software is completely retro-compatible and capable of programming modules from previous generations equipped with Kernel 10 or 11. The new software incorporates a new remote support management system which allows you to receive help from Pizzato technical support directly from the Gemnis Studio software window with just a few clicks.

The NS series safety switches with solenoid and RFID technology, now come with the new mode 3 for safety output activation. In the versions with mode 1 the OS safety outputs are active when the actuator is both inserted and locked, so that the actuator cannot be extracted with safety outputs activated. Mode 2 allows the actuator to be released while keeping the safety chain enabled. Mode 3 combines the functions of modes 1 and 2: a safety output is active when the actuator is both inserted and locked, while the second safety output is active when the actuator is only inserted. This allows two single-channel independent circuits to be combined in a single device and to emulate traditional electromechanical interlocking devices with guard locking, without complex machine wiring modifications. The management of the two channels also includes the inputs, so that multiple devices can be connected in series.

NG series safety switches with RFID technology are now available with integrated buttons, for control and signalling functions. Buttons can be easily wired inside the switch through terminal blocks with a PUSH-IN spring connection. In order to meet the various needs of its customers, Pizzato Elettrica provides different configurations and combinations of control and signalling devices for the NG safety switch: buttons, signalling lights, emergency buttons, selectors, different contact blocks etc. Buttons can be illuminated in a fast and intuitive way through the internal terminals for wiring the LEDs. NG safety switches with control devices can be combined with the P-KUBE 2 handle to obtain a compact and solid metal body, incorporating an RFID safety switch with a pin for the centering of the door, an anti-panic release, an adjustable handle with a lock-out device to be closed with a padlock and a control console.

Why Wireless Sensing Matters: -Batteryless Wireless Sensing Wireless sensing clamps work without any battery or external power at the clamp, reducing wiring effort and maintenance. -Fast Unclamp Confirmation 0.1 sec response time enables quick confirmation compared to conventional air sensing clamps. -Waterproof Protection Sensor protection is equivalent to IPX7, supporting wet machining and processing environments. -Signal Capacity per Monitor One monitor supports up to 8 signals, making multi-clamp fixtures easier to manage. -Simplified Fixture Design Less wiring and fewer components at the fixture help keep layouts cleaner and lower total cost (TCO).

Design details fulfill specific requirements The Neugart NDF gearbox meets these special requirements with numerous technical details: For example, the gearbox enables extremely fast changes of direction thanks to a low-inertia clamping system at the input stage, which improves the dynamics and thus the cycle time of the robot. At the same time, the torsional backlash is limited to <1 arcmin as a standard feature. The gearbox with the frame size 090 operates with three specially designed planetary gears in the input stage and four in the output stage. This significantly increases the torsional stiffness and the transmittable torque. Four two-stage transmission ratios, each between i=22 and i=55, are available. The output of the NDF has also received special attention in order to optimally meet the specific requirements of a Delta robot: The gear ratio at the output is i=5.5, which allows transmission of very high torques. The flanged output shaft with torque interface has 12 threaded holes (M8 instead of the usual M6), the output flange has 16 holes (instead of the standard eight for each). The gearbox output shaft only rotates back and forth through a limited angle in Delta robots because of their design, making lubrication more difficult. An optimized radial shaft sealing ring in the NDF ensures optimum sealing of the shaft during rapid changes of direction. A food-grade oil lubrication system is available as an option for the NDF. As an additional option, the NDF can be equipped with a stainless steel output shaft and a nickel-plated output flange. These options increase the corrosion resistance of the gearbox. As a result, it also tolerates frequent cleaning with aggressive media, which is essential in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
