SMS Safety Mats

Part Numbers

  • The SMS 4 series is connected to the floor by means of an aluminium profile and special corner sections. As a result of the beveled form of the profile, tripping hazards are avoided. The aluminium profile additionally serves as edge protection, when fork-lift trucks or other floor conveyors drive over the safety mats.  
  • In the SMS 5 series, the polyurethane actuating profile is directly moulded to the active surface of the safety mat.

Safety mats are used for the protection of man on machinery and plants with hazardous movements.  Typical fields of application are, for instance, the protection of hazardous areas and surfaces on woodprocessing machines, scissor lifts or punching presses.  The safety mats build a uniplanar safety device, which detects the presence of persons. If a person steps onto the safety mat, the connected safety-monitoring module will immediately stop the hazardous movement. The safety mats can be connected in line with each other in order to provide for a smooth and fast protection of hazardous areas. To this end, different standard sizes are available. Futhermore, special sizes or special shapes can be realized upon request.
