Sensitive edges and safety mats are electromechanical or optoelectronic safety devices designed to detect the presence of a person or object in a hazardous area. Sensitive edges, also known as safety edges or contact edges, typically consist of a flexible profile with internal conductive elements that close a circuit when compressed, triggering a machine stop. Safety mats, or pressure-sensitive safety mats, operate on a similar principle, using a matrix of pressure sensors to detect a person's weight. These devices are commonly rated for low-voltage control circuits (e.g., 24 VDC) and are available in various lengths, widths, and IP ratings (e.g., IP67 for harsh environments). They are often used in conjunction with safety relays or safety PLCs to achieve a defined safety integrity level (SIL) or performance level (PL) according to ISO 13849 or IEC 62061.
These safety components are primarily deployed in industrial automation environments, including machine guarding, robotic cells, assembly lines, and packaging machinery. Sensitive edges are ideal for pinch points on doors, gates, or moving machinery parts, while safety mats are used to monitor floor areas around presses, welding stations, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs). They are also found in logistics centers, conveyor systems, and public transportation applications such as automatic doors and platform edges.
Our catalog includes a wide range of sensitive edges and safety mats from leading manufacturers. Key subcategories include standard safety edges (e.g., models with 2-wire or 3-wire configurations), custom-length edges, and safety mats with different activation forces and surface textures. For example, the AB1112 series includes sensitive edges with a 24 VDC rating, 2-wire normally open (NO) contact, and IP67 protection. Safety mats are available in sizes from 300x300 mm to 1000x1000 mm, with options for anti-slip surfaces and integrated cable connections. The article codes typically follow a pattern like AB1112-XXXX, where XXXX denotes length or size.
