PSENini safe proximity switches are sealed to IP67

Pilz Automation Technology is launching the PSENini safe proximity switch that can be actuated by most metallic surfaces. Typical applications for these non-contact safety switches include monitoring the position of robots, long cams and mechanisms with multiple switching positions.
