Safety Mats Manufacturers

The safety mat is a simple, normally open switch. When a specified minimum weight is applied to the safety mat the switch closes. This sends a signal to the safety mat controller, which in turn, sends a stop signal to the guarded machine. Each safety mat presents four wires to the safety mat controller. This provides the redundancy required to monitor the wires for open circuits due to incorrect wiring or physical damage to the safety mat wires. It can also simplify routine tasks such as machine set-up, maintenance and repair. It offers freedom, flexibility, and reduced operator fatigue when compared with traditional guarding methods such as interlocked fences, pullback restraints or perimeter barriers. Full visibility of and access to the work area is maintained.
