BBC Bircher Safety Edges are pressure-sensitive contact devices designed to protect personnel and equipment from the hazards of moving machinery edges.
Mounted on the leading edge of industrial doors, automated gates, lifts, and barrier systems, safety edges detect any obstruction or accidental contact and immediately trigger a stop or reversal of the moving element. BBC Bircher safety edges are available in a wide range of profiles and lengths to suit different door types and machinery configurations, and can be integrated with safety relays or controllers to meet the required safety performance level.
