RS Components now stocks a new, comprehensive range of critical machine safety devices from Pilz. The portfolio comprises the compact, versatile, and easy-to-install PNOZsigma safety relays and the PSEN opII4H light curtains for heightened worker protection.

Kristian Olsson, vice president of Industrial Automation and Control at RS Components stressed the importance of the new brand introduction: “At RS, we position workplace safety at the top of our list of priorities and aim to offer our customers a full selection of the devices they need to operate industrial plants and machinery safely. The close partnerships we have with well-respected, specialist safety equipment manufacturers like Pilz mean that we can offer our customers a full range of workplace safety solutions to protect not only their people but also all of their critical equipment. The result is fewer accidents and a reduction in production downtime.”

Excellent for monitoring E-STOP, safety gates, and light barriers, PNOZsigma safety relays are supplied in narrow housings, providing maximum functionality in minimum width. They are flexible and simple to install and maintain, helping machine builders and system integrators to save crucial time and space.

Also, part of the range, the PSEN opII4H light curtains provide machine operators extra hand protection in line with the EN/IEC 61496-1/-2 standard. The new portfolio also comprises PSEN transponder safety non-contact switches.
