Pressure-sensitive safety mat PSENmat
Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001
The PSENmat is a world first: it is a pressure-sensitive safety mat with integrated switch functionality. As such the pressure-sensitive safety mat is suitable for more than surface monitoring. PSENmat also has an operating function, which triggers actions that can be freely defined in advance. This is enabled via an integrated virtual switch.
With the pressure-sensitive mat PSENmat you have a pressure-sensitive safeguard to protect workers in accordance with EN ISO 13856-1. The safety mat detects when people step on it, reliably records their position and forwards the position data to the safe controller. Should anyone enter the danger zone, PSENmat slows down or stops the machine (access protection). While there is anyone inside the detection zone, the pressure-sensitive safety mat also prevents the machine from restarting unintentionally (protection against encroachment behind the detection zone).
The reaction time in this case is low, ≤ 25 milliseconds.
Safe monitoring and new operating concepts
The pressure-sensitive safety mat PSENmat also has position detection and enables new machine operating concepts. As a result, workers can use individually definable mat areas to take advantage of the integrated switch functionality and work hands-free. With PSENmat you can create an unobstructed workspace and considerably reduce the risk of accidents.
The application areas for the pressure-sensitive safety mat PSENmat are many and varied because the mats are so flexible: they can be used when other safety products have reached their limits. So PSENmat is suitable above all for use in complex, heavily obstructed applications – even when visibility conditions are poor. You can also use the pressure-sensitive safety mat to control operating processes on your plant and machinery or for quality control.
The integrated OSSD outputs ensure a high degree of flexibility. They can be connected to any analysis unit. If you connect the pressure-sensitive safety mat in series you can substantially reduce the wiring work involved. You can connect up to 22 pressure-sensitive safety mats, depending on your requirement.
