The Safedge pressure sensitive system is supplied in two popular profiles, with cushion factor over travel distances of 5mm and 19mm. The cushion factor is the distance the profile can be depressed after a signal has been generated.
It is mounted on an aluminium C rail (included) and is supplied in 1, 1.5 and 2m lengths that may be cut and joined in series or parallel to support a wide range of industrial applications such as power operated doors, guided vehicles and moving machinery beds.
The Safedge profile uses a combination of non-conductive rubber and flexible wire cored conductive rubber bonded together enabling it to return to its original shape even after repeated compressions.
It has no rigid internal parts to damage the rubber profile or cause fatigue failures after prolonged use. The multi-stranded copper wire core throughout the length of the strip also insures that there are no problems of resistance build up on long lengths.
A range of accessories for end termination and 90° active corner joints are also available.

IP65 protection

These Safedge profiles are supplied part assembled. The series terminating resistor and associated end closing cap are not attached to the profile but are supplied separately in a bag. This allows the profile to be cut to the appropriate length before completing the assembly by inserting the resistor and gluing the end cap in place using industrial cyanoacrylate adhesive.

Protect personnel in your industrial environment from mechanical hazards using this safety edge sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley Guardmaster range. It automatically signals the control system if the edge of the machine guard comes in contact with a person or object, instructing the device to stop. As this sensor has a protected area that's 1.5m long, you can cut it to size for multiple applications. Thanks to an integrated aluminium rail, it's easy to attach it to the edge of a guard without the need for complex tools.

• IP65 rating indicates it's dustproof and protected against low-pressure jets of water
• Corners are also sensitive to physical contact for enhanced safety
• Aluminium rail is resistant to wear and corrosion for long-term use
• Built-in SET wire for a stable connection to the control unit

• CE Marked
• cULus
• AS 4024.5
• EN 1760-2
• ISO 13849-1

You can use a safety edge sensor in moving machine parts, such as revolving doors, that are frequently accessed by people. It's designed to prevent users from being crushed or trapped by the moving edge of machinery.
