ABB: Safety Contact Mats

July 23, 2013
JOKAB Safety Contact Mats provide a boundary of safety; when someone steps on a mat the surface triggers a control signal to stop the motion of nearby equipment.

The mats feature a dotted polyurethane non-slip surface layer and can withstand tough industrial conditions; they are impervious to oil, acid or caustic substances. Mats are available in standard sizes ranging from 12 x 12 inches up to 48 x 60 inches, and are commonly placed in sections around equipment. They can be connected together and mounted to the floor with either aluminum ramp rails or integrated rubber ramp trim. The mats consist of two conductive plates separated by a proprietary isolating layer, and are maintenance free. They work with a monitoring unit that monitors the functionality of the contact protection and detects any breaks or short-circuits in the lines. Several safety mats can be connected in series while still retaining the same level of safety. When pressure is applied, the active surface of the contact area in the contact protection is closed and the safety output on the monitoring unit trips. A stop signal will be sent to the machine's safety circuits preventing any dangerous movements.
