Portcullis Perimeter Security - NSW Australia

SAFETY CONTACT MATS: Applications: This quick action contact making mat is ideal in hazardous areas of working machinery. EG: Presses, robots and other types of swiveling equipment.

Working the mat triggers a control signal to the immediate-stop device of the potentially hazardous motion. This quick action contact making is made possible by surface area switch on the inside of the mat that is encased in polyurethane to ensure impermeability to water. A platform made of plastic or metal serves as the carrier. The surface can be protected by adhesion-bonding an anti slip rubber covering to thereby give high grip to the surface. Special evaluation equipment monitors the switch function of this device according to the closed circuit current principle. In special cases, contact mats can also be used as switch mats, for example to control automatic doors.
