Safety Sensors PSEN for Maximum Availability from Pilz

Increase availability with safety sensors.

Maintenance, repairs and unplanned downtimes are major cost drivers in plant and machine operation. For this reason, durable safety sensors PSEN from Pilz not only offer protection for human and machine, but also provide clear economic benefits in terms of high availability.

How can I reduce maintenance and repair costs in the long term?


Durable safety sensors enable high installation tolerances and can therefore be installed quickly on the machine – a key factor in ensuring reliable machine application and consistent delivery quality. At the same time, simple, fast wiring options such as safe series connection or IO-Link Safety integration significantly reduce the installation effort and also save valuable space on the plant.

Integrated diagnostic functions such as LED displays or the diagnostic system SDD reduce downtimes and simplify repairs. This is because any error messages that occur are detected quickly, analyses are available and errors can be rectified quickly.

  • The result: fewer service operations, shorter installation times and overall a more economical machine operation.
How can I reduce downtimes?

Reliable sensor technology minimises unplanned interruptions because it is stable and less error-prone. For example, thanks to their robust design andabsence of dead zones, the safety light curtains PSENopt II enable a smooth production process, even in dusty production environments. Fast configuration and simple commissioning of the safety sensors shorten start-up times after modifications or maintenance windows. This improves on-time delivery and increases overall equipment effectiveness.

How do I ensure reliable safety throughout the entire machine lifecycle?

Pilz sensors are based on international safety standards and enable you to design your plant to be legally compliant and ensure long-term stability. Consistent compatibility across the portfolio makes it easier to carry out modernisations and upgrades without having to redesign the entire safety architecture. Solutions such as the modular safety gate system offer customised solutions for each specific application. In addition to a wide selection of components and accessories, it is also easy to integrate functions such as access management.
