Safety Edges Safety edges, also known as bump strips, are used to protect dangerous closing edges at automatic doors and gates, shutters, vehicle doors or in the machinery industry. Depending on the force and speed of the moving part a suitable rubber profile has to be selected from Bircher Reglomat's extensive range. The range also includes NBR rubber for machine tool applications and profiles with single or dual sealing lips. As Motion29 Limited is a Bircher Reglomat approved manufacturer we use only Bircher Reglomat's safety components that have been developed and certified to meet today's European Safety Standards. The safety edges are manufactured to your specification and are typically shipped within 1 to 2 weeks from confirmation of order. |

Safety Relays The safety relay or switching unit monitors the integrated 8k2 Ohm resistor in the safety edges or safety mat for any changes in resistance by a continuously flowing current. While the sensors are not activated the output relays are energised, but when one or more sensors are activated and the total resistance sinks falls below the lower threshold the relays are de-energised indicating that the safety edge or safety mat has been activated. Similarly when an error occurs in the sensor circuit such as open circuit the relays are de-energised and a warning LED illuminates to indicate a fault. The relays are certified to Category 1, 2 or 3 when used in conjunction with Bircher Reglomat's safety edges or mats. |

Safety Mats Safety mats are used in switching or safety applications and are characterised by their highly sensitivity and their sturdy construction. The safety mats are available in different shapes and designs, including complete mounting accessories. Bircher Reglomat contact mats are used for detecting people or objects within a defined area. They serve to safeguard danger zones and thereby provide protection for people, or alternatively are used as switching elements in comfort applications. The mode of operation of the safety mats corresponds to that of a straightforward electrical switch. When anyone steps on the surface of the mat, or a weight is placed on it, two parallel contact surfaces are pressed together and the electrical circuit is made. |
