Safety Mats for Area Guarding
Guardian Mat may be used for area guarding surrounding industrial robots and other automated plant equipment.

This presence-sensing mat operates on the principle of a basic normally open switch. When a specified weight is applied to the mat, the inner flexible contact elements touch and “close” the switch. Typically these mats are wired to the emergency motor controls to signal the equipment to stop. ME151 Guardian Mats may be wired in series to create a continuous sensitized area. Beveled aluminum trim retainers are used to secure the mat to the floor.

Fail Safe Wiring
Optional controllers are used for monitoring the safety inputs from the mat. If the wiring is cut or there is a fault
in the mat system, a signal is sent to the motor controls to
stop operation.
