SAFETY-SYSTEMS ZIMMERMANN GMBH Our company develops, manufactures and distributes electronic safety systems for protecting people against dangerous movements of machines. These are so-called pressure sensitive protective devices, which include: • • • • SSZ-Safety Mats SSZ-Safety Switching Rails SSZ-Safety Bumpers SSZ-Safety Control Units As well as so-called non-contact functioning safety systems: • SSZ-Mobile Safety-Laser-

SSZ-SAFETY MATS Are safety devices for the protection of large-sized danger areas. Safety mats are produced in accordance with customer specifications using SSZ-sensor elements. SSZ-SAFETY RAILS Consist of a hollow-chamber rubber profile with an integrated SSZ-sensor element. Selection criteria for the rubber profile of an SSZ-safety rail are the material specifications and the desired deformation distances.

SSZ-SAFETY BUMPER Shock absorbers, e.g. for driverless transport systems (AGV), which generate a signal as a result of force action in the same way as the SSZ-safety rails and the SSZ-safety mats. SSZ-Safety bumpers can be used where long deformation distances are required and cannot be controlled by the SSZ-safety rails. SSZ-SAFETY CONTROL UNITS Are designed to control the safety devices: SSZ-safety mats, SSZ-safety rails and SSZ-safety bumpers. SSZ-MOBILE SAFETY SYSTEM FOR WAREHOUSE-TRUCKS The mobile safety-system SSZ-PSA-S, which includes the SSZSFE controller, was designed for the...

GENERAL INFORMATION More and more complex and faster operation frequencies lead to higher demands of personal safety for machines and units. The fundamental obligation to take the necessary precautions is laid down in different laws. The required safety targets have been rendered precisely by the many regulations, guidelines and recommendations issued by trade associations, standards and other institutions. Danger caused by machines and units can be caused by mechanical movements, electrical energy, thermic influences, radiation, various materials, etc. This requires partly different and...

SSZ-PRODUCTS ARE SAFETY SYSTEMS THAT THROUGH THE INFLUENCE OF SOME ACTIVITY IN COOPERATION WITH AN ELECTRONIC EVALUATION UNIT - PRODUCE A CONTROL COMMAND, USUALLY A STOP COMMAND AND THE CONNECTED PROTECTION OF DANGERS AND DANGEROUS AREAS.

SSZ-SAFETY MATS SSZ-Safety mats are safety devices for the protection of large-sized danger areas. SSZ-safety mats are produced in accordance with customer specifications using SSZ-sensor elements. These can be produced in all required sizes and shapes up to a size of 3.000 x 1.500 mm, whereby the overall height is 21 mm and the inactive edges are 25 mm wide. For maximum robustness SSZ-safety mats are equipped with a 6 mm oil resistant NBR-surface (other surfaces on request). Eloxicated aluminium profiles, which are flattened and mitred, and provided with step securing bores ø 10/ 6 mm...

for dangerous areas on machines and plants to safeguard shearing and crushing edges, and many more applications Application example

THE SSZ-SAFETY MAT TYPE BAT IS DESIGNED FOR VERY HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS. The SSZ-safety mat type BAT is designed for very heavy duty applications. This safety mat is made of welded steel frames which are covered with aluminium tear drop sheets. As the control element a safety positioning switch is used. The Low cost safety mat is being used in applications for human and light objects only. It is generally made with a PVC cover in different colors according to customer’s requirements. The SSZ low cost mat is not water-resistant and cannot be overdriven.

SSZ-SAFETY SWITCHING RAILS Profil05 NBR/EPDM SSZ-Safety Switching Rails consist of a hollow-chamber rubber profile with an integrated SSZ-sensor element. A control signal is generated in the evaluation unit by an actuating force acting on the signal transmitter. The rubber profiles of the switching rails are tailor-made to customer specifications up to a maximum length of 6000, mm and are fitted as standard in an aluminium C-profiile for mounting. The inactive areas at both ends are approx. 20 mm. The degree of protection of the switching rails is IP65. Cable connection is optionally...

MOUNTING ADVICE The SSZ-safety rails have to be fitted into the aluminium-profile by snapping, and not by pulling. You are advised to use glycerine or blunt tools. The deformation distance of the safety edges must be longer than the stop distance of the protected device. 1. for computer controlled devices 2. for driverless vehicles 3. for dangerous areas on machines and plants 4. to safeguard shearing and crushing edges 5. to safeguard automatic windows, doors and gates and many more applications

SSZ-SPECIAL SWITCHING ELEMENTS Frequently, switching elements that are not available as standard models are required. The SSZ-sensor element is very often the solution. As a foot switch, a big dimension switch or an SSZ switching element it offers the correct alternative. The floor-contact-switch of the series SSZ-BKS was developed as drive-over switching element. These are fastened to the floor and give a signal when activated, no matter whether the signal is given by a vehicle or a fork-lift truck, etc. driving-over, or by rolling over materials coils e. g. paper or sheet metal. A further...

SSZ-SAFETY BUMPERS SSZ-safety bumpers are shock absorbers e.g. for driverless transport systems (AGV),which generate a signal as a result of force action in the same way as the SSZ-safety rails and the SSZ-safety mats. SSZ-safety bumpers can be used where long deformation distances are required and cannot be controlled by the SSZsafety switching rails. SSZ-safety bumpers are manufactured individually according to customer specifications. Actuating direction Special contours, cuts and angles can be considered. The body of the bumper is coated with polyurethane, artificial leather,...
