Why Choose the Pizzato FS3096D120-F1M2 Safety Switch?
The Pizzato FS3096D120-F1M2 is a heavy-duty safety interlock switch with solenoid locking and jointed angled actuator, designed for reliable guard monitoring and controlled access in industrial machinery. As part of the proven Pizzato FS series, it ensures that safety doors remain securely locked during operation, preventing access to hazardous areas and safeguarding operators.
This model operates with a 120 V AC/DC solenoid and features a de-energised locking principle, meaning the actuator remains locked when power is removed. This fail-safe behaviour ensures safety is maintained even during power failure or emergency stop conditions, making it ideal for safety-critical industrial environments.
The FS3096D120-F1M2 variant is equipped with a jointed angled actuator (F1M2 type), allowing flexible alignment in multiple directions for complex guard installations. Its rugged technopolymer housing, rotating head and IP67 protection rating ensure long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions.
Key Advantages
- Safety interlock with solenoid locking for controlled access to hazardous zones.
- 120 V AC/DC operation suitable for industrial control systems.
- Fail-safe locking (power-to-release) ensures maximum safety integrity.
- Jointed angled actuator (F1M2) for flexible multi-directional installation.
- Prevents machine operation when guards are open.
- Durable construction for long-term industrial reliability.

Flexible Guard Locking for Complex Installations
The FS3096D120-F1M2 ensures that machinery cannot operate unless guards are securely closed and locked. Its fail-safe locking mechanism prevents unintended access during power outages or emergency stops, maintaining a safe working environment at all times.
The jointed angled actuator allows installation on guards with complex movement or misalignment, while the solenoid-controlled release ensures that access is only granted when the machine reaches a safe condition. This makes it ideal for advanced automation systems and high-risk industrial applications.
Typical Applications
- Machine guarding and safety door interlocking.
- Automated production lines and robotic systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- CNC machines and industrial equipment.
- Access control for hazardous industrial zones.
