Reliable protection of danger zones on machines, robots and sys-tems / Mayser Safety Technology for the safety at the workplace

Mayser Safety Technology

A Safe Team for Man and Machine
Safety at the workplace includes reliable protection of danger zones on machines, robots and systems. In accordance with the machinery directive, these may only be put into operation in conjunction with corresponding protective measures.

The product range of Mayser Polymer Electric, the leading manufac-turer of tactile sensors, includes Safety Mats, Safety Bumpers and Safety Edges as well as monitoring safety switchgears. Safety Mats from Mayser protect danger zones in the area of machines in all con-ceivable forms. Unlike other protective devices, the pressure sensi-tive sensors are insensitive to dust particles in the air and contamination from wooden or metal chips. Safety Edges are used as anti-pinch sensors for linear closing edge protection, for example to protect the main closing edge of protective machine covers. Depending on requirements, angled Safety Edges can also be integrated easily. Mayser Safety Bumpers offer protection where long deformation paths of the safety equipment are required. One example is collision protection for driverless transport systems (DTS).

According to the principle of tactile sensors, a signal is sent to the evaluation unit in the event of even the slightest pressure on the sensor and the dangerous movement is stopped. The sensors can be combined and can be adapted to the individual situation of the zone to be protected in terms of both the dimensions and the properties of the materials.
