MatGuard 440F Series Safety Mats
The MatGuard safety mat is a pressure-sensitive safeguarding product that is designed to detect the presence of people on its sensing surface.
The MatGuard safety mat has two conductive hardened steel plates that are held apart by non-conductive compressible separators. Each four-wire mat, operating on only 24 Vdc, is pre-wired and connected in series with other mats to form a floor level guarding system for hazardous areas. The circuit through the mat must be monitored by a safety-rated control unit, which may be a Minotaur Safety Relay, MatGuard control unit, or MatGuard Mat Manager.
When the mat is clear, the control unit 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 sends a shutdown signal to the machine.
Since the MatGuard safety mat is completely sealed (IP67), water, liquids and coolants present no problem. In addition, the tough vinyl will resist bleaches, acids, salts and many industrial chemicals. The unique moulding process allows the long life and reliability of the mat.

Allen Bradley Guardmaster Safety Mat
The Allen Bradley Guardmaster Matguard 440-F safety mat is a high-quality mat made of plastisol vinyl and has a size of 1500mm x 750mm. This is a pressure-sensitive safeguarding product designed to detect the presence of people on its sensing surface. It has two conductive hardened steel plates held apart by non-conductive compressible separators. Each four-wire mat operates on 24VDC that is pre-wired and connected in series with other mats to form a floor level guarding system for hazardous areas. The circuit through the mat requires monitoring by a safety-rated control unit such as a minotaur safety relay, Matguard control unit, or Matguard mat manager. Once the mat is clear, the control unit provides a signal to the machine control circuit. In addition, when a mat is stepped on, the conductive plates touch causing the resistance in the circuit to fall down to zero. This is monitored by the control unit that sends a shutdown signal to the machine. The Matguard safety mat is completely sealed to prevent water, liquids, and coolants. Also, the tough vinyl resists bleaches, acids, salts, and many industrial chemicals. The unique moulding process is responsible for the long life and reliability of the mat.
