Presence Sensing Mats

29 cfr 1910 217 c 3 iii a a presence sensing device psd must protect the operator by preventing or stopping normal stroking of the press if the operator s hands are inadvertently placed in the point of operation.

Presence sensing mats. Presence sensing mats and controls are used where perimeter access guarding is required such as around robots manufacturing work cells food processing equipment and automated assembly equipment. Mats and controllers should be designed to meet the applicable sections of ansi b11 19 1990 osha 1910 212 and en 1760 1 1997. Safety switch mat trims join multiple mats and secure them to the floor. Typically these mats are wired to the controls to signal to stop.

Presence sensing total security. In today s world of high tech self serve kiosks ensuring user privacy is critical. Whether an individual is applying for a job paying bills or checking into a clinic when they step away from a kiosk they need to know their personal information is secure. Ideal for obtaining very detailed pressure maps and for the best presence sensors.

Safety contact edges are secured to the edge of a machine table or powered door to protect the operator from shearing or crushing injuries. Presence sensing safety devices are ideal for applications where personnel need frequent and easy yet safe access to hazardous areas near robotic welding machining centers stamping hydraulic presses filter presses or packaging equipment. This presence sensing mat operates on the principle of a basic normally open switch. Presence sensing devices can not be used on machines using full revolution clutches.
