AutomationDirect has teamed with ASO GmbH to provide products such as safety edges, mats and specialized safety relays to protect people and machinery from harm.

Safety mats detect the presence of personnel on horizontal surfaces (usually the floor).

Tapered or straight edge styles allow configuration flexibility. Safety edges can be used on any surface, usually near possible crushing or shearing points and are touch-sensitive devices that detect presence at possible danger points.

The safety function is triggered when a person or object contacts the edge. The safety relay module is a specialized relay used to wire both mats and edges for fail-safe triggering of the intended safety function.

Safety mats are cULus rated and safety edges are cURus compliant. Both mats and edges are CE, RoHs, Reach compliant and carry a 1-year warranty.
