Tapeswitch safety mats often provide first-line of protection for personnel and equipment. They are highly sensitive and feature press-at-any-point actuation. Properly installed and connected, they continuously monitor the protected area. However, to properly function as safety devices, mats must be installed with a fail-safe monitoring circuit as shown below or with an equivalent fail-safe methodology. Tapeswitch offers controllers that employ the fail-safe Concept. The fail-safe concept monitors the sensor status at all times. In the event of a failure, the fail-safe concept will simulate a...

Controlmat™ Industrial-Duty Safety Mats are designed for personnel sensing around dangerous machinery and in hazardous locations. They are highly sensitive and feature press-at-any-point actuation. Many standard sizes are in stock, but custom sizes and shapes are easily manufactured to order with short lead times. Mats can also be made with cutouts, radius and multiple sensing zones to exactly fit specific applications. Features & Benefits ■ Industrial-duty, pressure-sensitive mat for personnel safety sensing applications ■ Moisture, chemical, and abrasion resistant for long life in factory settings ■...

Extra heavy-duty and nearly puncture-proof The ArmorMat™ Industrial Safety Mats are designed for personnel detection under conditions that are not suitable for conventional mat products. They incorporate an impact-resistant, penetration-resistant barrier that easily withstands abuse which would destroy ordinary pressure-sensitive mats. Many standard sizes are available. Custom sizes and shapes can be manufactured to order with short lead times. Features & Benefits ■ Extra heavy-duty industrial safety mat survives harsh treatment ■ Designed with an impact-resistant, penetration-resistant barrier ■...

I DIAMOND PLATE ALUMINUM SAFETY MATS Super heavy-duty and nearly indestructible The Diamond Plate Aluminum Safety Mat is designed for personnel or vehicle detection in heavy industrial applications. Designed to withstand forklift traffic, steel wheel carts, pallet loaders and similar equipment, it also survives welding debris, hot parts, metal chips and up to 20,000 pounds of traffic. This product is available in a range of standard sizes and can also be custom configured to form a protected area around a machine or work cell. Features & Benefits ■ Extra heavy-duty industrial safety mat survives...

Safety Zone Sensing Mats are designed to protect against accidents and injury around machinery in an industrial or factory environment. They feature molded, seamless construction and, consequently, exhibit exceptional resistance to moisture intrusion as well as most acids, alkalies and salts. Logos in any color or combination of colors can be molded directly into the mat surface. Mats can also be made with multiple sensing zones, and sensitivity can be adjusted to suit specific applications. Features & Benefits Molded construction for exceptional moisture and chemical resistance Parallel-plate...

MSP SAFETY ZONE SENSING MAT Molded construction, parallel plate design The MSP Safety Zone Sensing Mats use the same construction and have the same features as the Safety Zone Mats and have a convenient Plug Together System The interconnected system allows mats to be joined together by a simple 4 wire plug instead of a cable to cable connection. Simply place the mats side by side and join them together by using the JIP450 Joiner Plug to connect them both physically and electrically to each other. The first and last mats connect to your control circuit by using the CIP, Cable Insert Plug. The...

The Comfort Zone Anti-Fatigue Switchmat is the only mat that combines the safety of a pressure-sensitive switching mat with the comfort of an ergonomically-designed anti-fatigue mat. This unique product is intended for safety applications in which an operator must stand on a safety mat frequently or for extended periods during machine cycle times. Features & Benefits ■ A unique combination of safety and ergonomic comfort in one mat ■ Integral safety-yellow ramped edge minimizes trip hazard ■ Built-in edging means out-of-the-box installation ■ 4 conductor fail-safe wiring is standard ■ Meets or...

I MAT EDGING OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES Mat edge styles and aluminum trim options Tapeswitch safety mats are supplied with a choice of edge styles and do not require additional edging in many applications. In some cases, however, aluminum edging may be used to secure the mat to the floor, provide a wire chase for the leads, or to add a safety-yellow edge marking. Edge Styles Ramped Edge ■ Provides a smooth transition between the floor and the mat, minimizing any trip hazard ■ Suitable for single mat installation where permanently affixing the mat is not required Square Edge ■ Suitable when multiple...
