Why Choose the Pizzato NG 2D1D418M-F31 Safety Switch with Lock?
The Pizzato NG 2D1D418M-F31 is an advanced RFID safety switch with guard locking and integrated control devices designed for monitoring and securing protective guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. Part of the Pizzato NG series, it combines coded electronic actuator detection, high-strength mechanical guard locking and local operator control functionality within a robust industrial assembly.
This model uses the D working principle, meaning the actuator remains locked while the locking electromagnet is de-energised. Its electronic safety architecture provides two IS1–IS2 safety inputs and two OS1–OS2 safety outputs, together with dedicated signalling for actuator insertion and locking status. This allows a machine safety system to monitor both the position and locked condition of the protective guard.
The NG 2D1D418M-F31 is supplied with the VN NG-F31 high-level coded RFID actuator and incorporates integrated operator control devices. With a maximum actuator holding force of 9,750 N, a robust metal housing and an orientable operating head, it provides a compact safety solution for automated machinery requiring coded guard monitoring, secure locking and local operator interaction.
Key Advantages
- Combines RFID guard monitoring, guard locking and integrated operator controls within one assembly.

Reliable Guard Monitoring and Operator Control for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches with guard locking allow a machine safety system to verify that a protective guard is correctly positioned and securely locked before hazardous operation is permitted. The Pizzato NG series combines coded RFID actuator recognition with electronic safety monitoring and high-strength mechanical locking, providing dependable protection for automated machinery and production equipment.
The integrated control-device design allows operator functions to be positioned directly alongside the safety interlock, helping simplify machine layouts and reduce the need for separate control stations. Dedicated actuator-inserted and actuator-locked status signals also provide useful information for safety logic, machine diagnostics and process control.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard doors and protective access panels.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and safeguarded manufacturing areas.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine tools and automated manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial machinery requiring coded guard monitoring, secure locking and integrated operator controls.
