Why Choose the Pizzato FY 60AD6D0B-F28 Safety Switch with Guard Locking?
The Pizzato FY 60AD6D0B-F28 is an industrial safety switch with separate actuator and guard locking designed for monitoring and securing movable guards on machinery and automated equipment. Part of the Pizzato FY series, it combines mechanical guard-position detection with solenoid-controlled locking for applications where access to hazardous machine areas must remain controlled.
This configuration uses D6D operating principle, meaning the actuator is locked while the solenoid is de-energised and the switch incorporates both an auxiliary key release and escape release button. Its 60A contact block provides 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the solenoid together with 1NO + 1NC contacts operated by the actuator, enabling separate monitoring of the locking mechanism and guard position.
The FY 60AD6D0B-F28 operates with a 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply and incorporates red and green freely configurable LEDs. It is supplied with the VF KEYF28 universal actuator, providing an adaptable solution for machine guards where alignment and mounting geometry require greater flexibility than a fixed straight actuator.
Key Advantages
- Combines guard-position monitoring and guard locking within one industrial safety switch.
- D6D operating principle keeps the actuator locked with the solenoid de-energised.
- Includes an auxiliary key release for controlled manual unlocking.
- Integrated escape release button provides an additional means of releasing the guard from the protected area.
- 24 V AC/DC solenoid supply suits common industrial safety and control systems.
- Independent actuator and solenoid contacts support guard-position and lock-status monitoring.
- Red and green freely configurable LEDs provide flexible visual status indication.
- Supplied with the versatile VF KEYF28 universal actuator.

Guard Locking with Auxiliary and Escape Release
The D6D configuration is designed for machinery where a guard must remain mechanically locked while the locking solenoid is de-energised but additional release provisions are required. The auxiliary key release provides controlled manual unlocking, while the escape release button offers a means of releasing the guard from inside the protected area when incorporated into an appropriately designed machine-safety installation.
The VF KEYF28 universal actuator further increases installation flexibility. Its universal design is intended for guard arrangements where alignment can vary, making the FY 60AD6D0B-F28 particularly useful for movable doors and guards that require an adaptable actuator interface while retaining the monitoring and locking functions of the FY series.
Typical Applications
- Robotic cells with personnel access doors.
- Guarded automated production systems.
- Industrial machine guard doors and access panels.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Machine tools with enclosed working areas.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Guarded areas requiring an internal escape-release facility.
- OEM machinery and integrated industrial safety systems.
