Break the Beam, Stop the Machine

Safety Light Curtain systems emit pulsed infra-red beams between a sender and a receiver unit to create an invisible safety screen. Interruption to any beam is immediately detected and the Light Curtain safety circuits will effect a “STOP” to the machine cycle.

Safety Edges

Mayser Safety Edges are sensors which make pinching and shearing edges safe from the danger of pinching. Depending on the switching principle, they are offered as a 8k2 sensor / 1k2 sensor or normally open contact.

Safety Edges and Miniature Safety Edges are used for Drag Detection and Obstacle Detection in passenger cars, on bus and train doors, in the machine-building sector or on doors, gates and windows in building technology. If the Safety Edge meets with an obstacle, the automatic movement is stopped immediately. For example, if a hand gets caught in a closing door. Whatever you want to protect or safeguard, we offer you the right technology and the right rubber profile. Mayser Safety Edges comply with the requirements of the ISO 13856-2, ISO 13849-1 and EN 12978 standards.

Mayser normally open Safety Edges SL

Mayser normally open Safety Edges are used as Anti Pinch Sensors. They are available in a wide range of profile geometries and make pinching and shearing edges of machines, systems, stages and gates safe - reliably.

When our normally open Safety Edges SL are activated, a contact is closed, thus causing a short-circuit. In order to protect people and objects, a signal to the evaluation unit interrupts automatically controlled movement immediately.

Our Safety Edges are mounted as Anti Pinch Sensors direct to dangerous pinching and shearing edges. For example, on machines, stages or gates.

The high-quality materials and various profile geometries our Safety Edges come in guarantee their suitability for all stopping distances and environmental influences. Our Safety Edges are therefore both resistant to weather conditions and to most chemical substances

We manufacture these normally open safety edges here in the UK. Various size profiles are available for different applications:- GP22 NBR / GP39 NBR / GP39 EPDM / GP50 CR / GP50 EPDM / GP60 CR / GP60 EPDM

2 wire systems (SL/W) with built in resistor (8k2 or 1k2) and 4 wire systems (SL/BK) are available.
