Matguard - Pressure Sensitive Safety Mats

MatGuard consists of a number of interconnecting pressure sensitive safety mats and a monitoring control unit which provide a system for area detection. The mat has been designed from the "ground up" to meet the arduous conditions found on the factory floor, and uses tried and trusted components and techniques throughout.

The mats are available in a wide range of standard sizes to meet most requirements. Special sizes and shapes can be supplied.
Each mat has two conductive treated plates that are held apart by non-conductive compressible separators. Each 4wire mat, operating on only 24V DC, is pre-wired and connected in series with any other mats forming a complete floor level guarding system for the hazardous areas. The circuit through the mat is monitored by the MatGuard Control Unit, which, when the area is clear provides a signal to the machine control circuit. When a mat is stepped on, the conductive plates touch and the resistance in the circuit falls to zero. This is monitored by the Control Unit, which shuts the machine down.
The unique moulding process ensures the long life and reliability of the mat. Being completely sealed (IP67), water, liquids and coolants present no problem. In addition the tough vinyl will resist bleaches, acids, salts and all but the most aggressive of industrial chemicals.

A range of control units are available, including the MGCSM1 which monitors the status of each mat or area of mats individually. This enables quick fault detection/repair and identification of actuated area.

MGCSM control units monitors the status of each mat individually
Completely failsafe system with cross monitored control unit
Rugged construction will take the weight of a 3 ton (3000kg) forklift truck
Vinyl construction resistant to most oils
Sealed to IP67
5 year warranty on mats

Safedge - Pressure Sensitive Edging Strip

Safedge is a pressure sensitive edging system ideal for use in applications such as power operated doors, guided vehicles, moving machinery beds etc. It can provide a continuous line of pressure sensing along or around practically anything. Light pressure from any direction through 180° on the profile will cause the control unit to generate signal for use in a variety of ways, such as reverse motion, alarm signalling or machine stop. The system is simple to install and flexible, with the profile maintaining its original shape even after repeated heavy operation.

The Safedge profile has no rigid internal parts, therefore is reliable and resistant to fatigue failure after prolonged use. Lengths of up to 50m can be used on 1 control unit.

A choice of Safedge failsafe monitoring control units are available for use with various profile shapes. The control units monitor the system status, enabling failsafe detection in the event of profile activation, component or power failure, or if the profiles wires are severed.

A selection of accessories are also available enabling the system to be flexible and user friendly.
