Why Choose the Pizzato FC3393-F2 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato FC3393-F2 is a robust key-operated safety interlock switch with separate actuator designed for machine guarding, access control, and industrial safety applications. As part of the Pizzato FC series, it ensures that machinery can only operate when protective doors or safety guards are properly closed and secured.
Built for demanding industrial environments, the FC3393-F2 features a durable metal housing and a high IP67 protection rating, providing resistance against dust, water, and vibration. It is widely used in automation systems, production machinery, and safety enclosures where reliable guard position monitoring is essential for operator protection.
This version uses a separate actuator (F2 configuration), meaning the switch is mounted on the fixed frame while the actuator is mounted on the moving guard. When the guard opens, the actuator is withdrawn, immediately changing the safety contact state and preventing machine operation. This design is commonly used for hinged, sliding, or removable guards in industrial machinery.

Reliable Machine Guard Protection
The FC3393-F2 operates using a separate actuator mounted on the movable guard. When the guard is closed, the actuator engages the switch, allowing machine operation. When the guard is opened, the actuator is removed from the sensing head, immediately triggering a safety response.
This ensures hazardous machine movement is prevented during access, maintenance, or inspection, improving operator safety and compliance with machine safety standards.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding systems.
- Safety doors and access panels.
- Industrial automation equipment.
- Robotic cells and safety fences.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- OEM machine safety systems.
