Safety Pressure Mats

They have two conductive hardened steel plates that are held apart by non conductive compressible separators.

Safety pressure mats. Safety light curtains safety multi light beams single beam safety sensors. Once pressure is detected the resistance in the circuit falls to zero and a shutdown signal is sent to the. Mats detect presence of workers in hazardous areas. Safety mats are pressure sensitive machine safeguarding products for the industrial marketplace.

These safety mats are flexible impact resilient functional after punctures extremely durable and will not rust. Also when the machine is operating or cycling the machine will stop if someone steps on the mat. Safety mats are designed to detect the presence of workers or passer by on the mat surface area around hazardous machines. Safety controllers provide intelligence to the mat system by monitoring the safety mat for malfunctions due to incorrect wiring or physical damage.

For 60 years larco has focused its efforts on developing and producing the most reliable and durable presence sensing safety mats available. Safety mats also called pressure mats are used as a safety zone around robots or as a safety zone when loading or operating a machine. Scientific technologies inc s sti safety mats incorporate a four wire system to connect the safety mat to the safety mat controller. These mats have two conductive hardened steel plates that are held apart by non conductive compressible separators.

The pressure sensitive heavy duty safety mats described on this page are highly resistant to wear oils grease acids and most common chemicals. This tape has an odorless pressure sensitive adhesive on both sides to secure mats to the floor. These mats can be applied so that if someone or some object is on the mat the machine will not start. How do they work.

Heavy duty safety switch mats. Safety switch mats protect machine operators from potential hazards in manufacturing environments. Our bulletin 440f matguard safety mats are pressure sensitive safeguarding products that we designed to detect the presence of people on the sensing surfaces. With machine safety it often happens that other safety components are not applicable and the use of a safety mat is the only solution.

Mats sense a specified minimum weight then send a signal to the safety controller to stop the guarded machine if a person forklift or other vehicle gets too close. Light duty drop over. In a similar situation if a safety mat is punctured and causes a short circuit similar to closing the circuit under pressure the controller will not restart until the punctured mat has been replaced. Keep feet warm in cold drafty rooms.
