Safe Edge Usage Scenarios and Working Principles.

The safety edge is a flexible and bendable strip or circular object. It can be fixed on the edges of moving parts that pose risks of compression and shearing, such as tire forming machines, elevator safety doors, machine tool workbenches, and electric doors. When the safety edge moving parts are installed and hit the operator or the operator hits the moving parts, these flexible safety edges will be compressed and send a signal to the power source to stop the movement of these parts.

The safe edge contact needs to be combined with the controller to form a flexible and universal emergency stop system. When using this system, the robot operator and installer must be able to easily and conveniently stop the dragging device. A complete safety edge includes an aluminum guide rail - a safety contact and a built-in sensing signal strip (contact strip). The special shape of the safety edge (rubber side) can protect the safety contact belt from damage and allow the impact angle of the safety edge to exceed 90 °. Widely used in AGV cars, welding robots, packaging machinery, automation equipment, automatic balancing doors, electric doors, etc.
