Safety edges are safety devices designed to prevent accidents and injuries that may occur when people or objects come into contact with moving machinery or equipment. They consist of a flexible strip with a contact element that can detect pressure or deformation caused by an external force. When triggered, the safety edge sends a signal to the control system of the machine, which then stops or reverses the movement of the equipment to prevent harm.
Wide Automation offers a range of safety edges with different sizes, shapes, and activation forces to suit different applications. These safety edges are made of durable materials, such as rubber or foam, and are easy to install and maintain. They can be used in a wide range of industrial and commercial settings, including elevators, automatic doors, and production lines. With their reliable performance and ability to detect even minor contact, safety edges provide an important layer of protection for workers and equipment.
