About Pilz
Pilz supplies safety and automation technology for machinery and robot cells. Its portfolio combines safety relays and configurable or programmable controllers with light curtains, safety switches, emergency-stop devices, motion-control products and operator interfaces, allowing integrators to coordinate productive motion with monitored access and safe stopping.
For robotics projects, Pilz supports application analysis, risk assessment, safety concepts, validation and CE-marking through commissioning. Its services address collaborative and conventional cells under standards including ISO 10218 and ISO/TS 15066, while the PRMS measurement system records collision force and pressure. ROS-compatible modules and software interfaces extend Pilz sensing and control into industrial and service-robot development.
