PITestop active The PITestop active emergency stop button from Pilz is particularly valuable in facilities where machinery is moved frequently because it can be used to safely turn on or turn off entire sections of a factory. It is compliant with the standard ISO 13850, which requires that machinery must be equipped with emergency stop equipment, and is available for both panel mounting, which offers IP65 protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, or surface mounting.
What's new? The PITestop, which made its debut in February.
Benefits Flexibility and convenience. The PITestop active is available in a variety of formats to meet different needs, including versions that have a key, illuminated pushbuttons or a collar to provide protection up to IP67. In addition, they can be integrated into a safety circuit and activated/deactivated electrically rather than manually.
