HOW TO CHOOSE SAFETY DEVICES FOR INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY | TSA Srl
At TSA Industrial Representations, we specialize in offering innovative solutions for safety in the industrial sector, with a particular focus on pressure-sensitive safety devices. Among our flagship solutions, we present three main categories: safety mats, safety bumpers, and sensitive edges. These advanced systems are designed to ensure maximum protection in work areas, combining cutting-edge technology with reliability and ease of use.
In this article, we will delve into the benefits these devices can offer, highlighting how they can help improve safety and efficiency in industrial contexts.
Safety Mats
Safety mats are innovative elements designed to elevate safety standards in various work environments, such as industrial and artisanal settings. These devices, essential for accident prevention, integrate highly sensitive pressure sensors capable of detecting the presence of people or objects. Their functionality is based on the ability to activate alarms or automatic response mechanisms by closing an electrical contact, thus restoring safety in the affected area.
The main advantages offered by our safety mats include not only their ease of use but also their extreme ease of installation, allowing adaptation in any type of work environment. These products stand out for their robustness, being able to withstand harsh environments where dust, vapors, or production residues could compromise the effectiveness of other more sensitive safety devices, such as photoelectric barriers or laser scanners.
Our mats are made of durable materials, such as PVC, a type of plastic known for its durability and ease of cleaning, further highlighting our commitment to creating reliable solutions. Each project is considered a new challenge, where the dimensions of the mats and the materials used are carefully studied by our technicians in collaboration with the customer.
Safety Bumpers
Safety bumpers represent an innovative industrial protection solution. These devices, made from expanded resin cushions, are integrated with pressure sensors that, once pressure is applied to their surface, can activate safety signals or alarms to prevent accidents. Our ability to produce custom bumpers allows us to offer products perfectly adaptable to the specific needs of each application, thanks to the availability of a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
These devices are made using high-quality PVC, a material selected for its excellent resistance and durability properties, sewn with the utmost attention to detail to reflect the high standards typical of high-end Italian upholstery.
The flexibility of our bumpers extends to outdoor environments, thanks to their ability to resist water and weather conditions, demonstrating their versatility in a wide range of operational scenarios. Additionally, we offer the possibility of producing bumpers covered in Kevlar for greater protection against cuts, heat, and production debris, ensuring a higher level of safety even in the most extreme conditions.
To ensure maximum reliability, all our bumpers undergo rigorous tests and quality controls before being distributed. A detailed report is prepared certifying their performance and responsiveness to the tests carried out, confirming our commitment to providing high-level safety solutions designed to effectively meet the diverse needs of the industrial sector.
Sensitive Edges or Safety Edges
Sensitive edges, also known as safety edges, are advanced protection devices essential for ensuring safety in work environments. These profiles, made from soft rubber, integrate pressure-sensitive elements designed to significantly reduce the risk of injuries such as cuts or crushes for operators. Their application extends to a variety of structures, including doors, hatches, gates, or automatic machines, thanks to the supply of aluminum profiles specifically designed for secure and reliable mounting.
Although sensitive edges do not have the same impact absorption capacity as bumpers, their compact structure makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring solutions with minimal bulk, maintaining the effectiveness of the protection. Our offer includes the possibility of customizing these devices starting from standard profiles, available in various colors and sizes. We can adjust the lengths, modify the mounting holes, and select the type of cables and connectors most suitable for the customer’s specific needs.
One of the main features of our safety edges is their high sensitivity combined with minimal actuation force, making them effective in accident prevention. Additionally, these devices maintain excellent flexibility even at very low temperatures, ensuring consistent and reliable performance in a wide range of operating conditions.
