MLZ Compact Guard Locking Safety Switch with RFID, 316 Stainless Steel Housing and IP69K

The MLZ is a compact, 30 mm-wide guard locking safety switch housed in mirror-polished 316 stainless steel and tested to IP69K for demanding washdown environments. Designed for versatile installation, it features three RFID-coded actuator entry points and OSSD outputs, allowing multiple devices to be connected in series.

Its super-compact design makes it ideal for use on even the narrowest machine guard rails, with no mounting plate required. This helps simplify installation, reduce set-up time, and make ongoing maintenance easier.

The MLZ is ideally suited to applications with harsh cleaning and washdown procedures, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and other hygiene-critical industries.
