Why Choose the Pizzato NX B42AE1SPK-F61 RFID Safety Switch?
The Pizzato NX B42AE1SPK-F61 is an RFID safety switch with guard locking from the Pizzato NX Series, designed for monitoring movable guards, safety doors and controlled access points on industrial machinery. It combines non-contact RFID actuator recognition with electronic safety monitoring and electromagnetic guard locking in a compact industrial safety device.
This configuration is supplied with the F61 high-level coded RFID actuator, providing enhanced protection against inappropriate actuator substitution and deliberate bypassing. The coded non-contact operating principle also avoids the mechanical wear associated with conventional tongue-operated safety switches, making the NX platform particularly suitable for frequently operated machine guards.
The NX B42AE1SPK-F61 uses Mode 1 safety operation with a bistable locking system, monitoring the inserted-and-locked actuator condition through its electronic safety outputs. Its prewired electrical connection, robust NX-series construction and comprehensive status monitoring make it suitable for integration into modern safety PLC and safety-controller architectures.

Reliable RFID Guard Locking for Industrial Machinery
RFID safety switches with guard locking provide an effective solution where a machine safety system must monitor both the position of a movable guard and its locked condition. Non-contact RFID recognition allows the NX B42AE1SPK-F61 to identify its coded actuator electronically, while the locking mechanism controls access to the protected machinery.
The high-level coded F61 actuator provides an additional level of protection against manipulation compared with low-coded actuator systems. Combined with Mode 1 safety operation and electronic safety outputs, this makes the NX B42AE1SPK-F61 well suited to automated machinery requiring dependable guard monitoring and controlled access.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety doors and movable guards.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Production machinery requiring controlled guard access.
- Industrial safety circuits using safety PLCs or safety controllers.
