About Safety Edge
Safety edges are sensors that protect operators from coming between shearing and pinching edges. If the safety edge encounters an obstruction, e.g. if a hand gets in the way of a closing door, it stops the automatic movement.
Available as normally open safety edge with monitoring resistor or as continuous edge with four-wire technology (two-sided cable). This ensures safety because the functions of the sensor and connection cable are constantly monitored

Robust & Weather-Resistant DesignConstructed from high-quality EPDM rubber and certified to IP65, the Safety Edge withstands challenging industrial conditions, including significant temperature extremes from -20C to +55C in operation and up to -30C for storage. Its weather-resistant build makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, delivering consistent safety performance.
Customizable for Various ApplicationsThe Safety Edge comes in multiple extrusion profiles, allowing for use in a wide range of safety-critical applications. It meets strict CE certification standards and can be tailored to custom lengths up to six meters, making it suitable for machine guarding, automatic gates, and access control systems where flexibility and protection are essential.
Quick Response & High AccuracyFeaturing high sensitivity and a response time of less than 50 milliseconds, this pressure-sensitive sensor provides immediate interruption upon contact. The systems high resolution (up to 1 mm) ensures precise safety detection, crucial for preventing mistakes or injuries around moving machinery and access points.
FAQs of Safety Edge:
Q: How is the Safety Edge installed and maintained?
A: The Safety Edge can be surface mounted onto industrial doors, gates, or machinery using standard installation hardware. Maintenance is simplified due to its replaceable end caps and cables, allowing for quick part changes without complex procedures.
Q: What situations or industries benefit most from using the Safety Edge?
A: Industrial environments such as factories, warehouses, and automated gate systems benefit most, as the Safety Edge provides presence sensing and machine safety for doors, gates, and access points, ensuring user protection against hazardous movement.
Q: When should a Safety Edge be replaced or serviced?
A: Safety Edge devices should be checked regularly; replacement is typically recommended if physical damage, malfunction, or excessive wear is observed. Thanks to its robust design and over 1 million cycle operating life, frequent servicing is rarely required.
Q: Where can the Safety Edge be used given its environmental tolerance?
A: The Safety Edge is engineered for use in a broad range of environmentsfrom indoor machinery applications to outdoor installations on gates. Its IP65 rating and wide operating temperature range (-20C to +55C) enable reliable operation in diverse weather and industrial conditions.
Q: What is the process for customizing the extrusion profile or length?
A: Customers can specify shape preferences (rectangular, rounded, or custom profiles) and exact lengths up to 6 meters during ordering. Manufacturers and suppliers work directly with clients to deliver tailored solutions for unique safety requirements.
Q: How does the Safety Edge ensure quick and accurate detection?
A: With high sensitivity and a resolution of up to 1 mm, the Safety Edge detects contact instantly. The digital relay output (NO/NC) actuates in less than 50 milliseconds, providing dependable interruption for machine or gate movement, enhancing protection.
Q: What are the key benefits of choosing the Safety Edge for safety protection?
A: Key advantages include robust EPDM rubber construction, CE certification, high accuracy, weather resistance, easy installation, customizable length, and replaceable components, delivering cost-effective and long-lasting safety for industrial applications.
