Safety Mats Download Literature Contact safety mats are pressure sensitive devices that detect workers or objects in dangerous areas around industrial machinery. Depending on the application, detection results in either a machinery stop or the prevention of a machinery start. Together with an ESD3 controller contact safety mats offer a reliable safety system with the controller providing the interface to the machinery or motor controls. |
Safety Edges Pressure sensitive sensing edges or edge sensors are used as signaling and initiating devices on machinery or as safety devices where pinch points exist on automatic machinery doors. Edge sensors in signaling or initiating applications are typically actuated by an operator's deliberate hand or foot motion. Edge sensors in safety applications stop or reverse automatic doors or moving machinery. These sensing edges offer cushioning to absorb door or moving machinery over travel that occurs between the stop command and the actual stand still of the motion. Sensing edge systems consist of the edge itself and an edge controller to interface with the equipment controls. - 2-wire and 4-wire fail safe wiring options - Safety Category 3 systems available - Third party certified systems on request - Choice of materials provides superior durability, abrasion and chemicals resistance - Installs around curves and bends - Active from top and sides - Moisture resistant |
Safety Bumpers The purpose of safety bumpers is the prevention of damage caused by the collision of automatic guided veheicles (AGV's) and people or objects. This is accomplished by the immediate stopping of the AGV, and the use of a soft collapsible zone on the bumper itself. Download Literature |

| Safety Mat and Safety Edge Controller
Pressure sensitive safety mat and sensing edges must be wired into a
controller to monitor for actuation and proper functioning. The controller
provides the interface with the machine, robot or door controls. When the
safety mat or sensing edge controller registers a sensor actuation or
fault, a stop or reverse signal is sent to the equipment controls. |
