How does the Industrial Safety Mat work?

Summary

Industrial safety mats offer a crucial layer of protection by using pressure-sensitive sensors to detect workers or objects in hazardous areas. Upon detection, signals are sent to the control system, triggering safety mechanisms such as emergency shutdowns. This ensures swift responses to potential risks, protecting both personnel and equipment.

How does the Industrial Safety Mat work?
In today's industrial landscape, where production safety is a top priority, the use of safety equipment has become a crucial factor in ensuring a safe and productive work environment. Among these, the industrial safety carpet plays an increasingly vital role in the field of safety protection, providing a robust barrier for the safety of production workers. The industrial safety mat is designed to work in conjunction with the control system, utilising its distinctive sensing mechanism to construct an intelligent safety protection network. In the event that workers or other moving objects in the production area come into contact with the surface of the safety mat, the built-in sensitive sensors will respond instantly and quickly capture the contact signal. The signal is then transmitted to the central control system, which triggers a preset safety program. The system is designed to respond to potential safety risks and accidents in a variety of ways, depending on the specific safety strategy in place. These measures may include, but are not limited to, emergency shutdown, slowing down equipment, and issuing warning signals, among others.
Operational Principles of Safety Mat
Prior to the creation of a safety system, it is of the utmost importance to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functionality and capabilities of industrial safety mats. The following is a comprehensive overview of the operational principles of safety mat.
Operational Principles of Safety Mat
1. Pressure Sensing and Signal Generation of Safety Mat Switch
When a person or object steps on a safety mat and applies a small amount of weight, a high-precision pressure sensor inside the safety mat immediately senses this pressure change.
The high accuracy of the sensor ensures that it is able to detect pressure applied to it with great speed and precision.
Upon detecting sufficient pressure, the pressure sensor promptly generates an electrical signal.
2. Industrial Safety Mat Signal Transmission
The electrical signal is then transmitted to the connected safety or control system.
The signal is transmitted rapidly and reliably to guarantee that the safety mechanism responds in a timely manner.
3. Safety Mechanism Activation of Safety Mat Switch
Upon receipt of the signal from the pressure sensor, the safety controller or control system promptly analyzes it.
If the safety mechanism is triggered (i.e., it is confirmed that a person or object has entered the danger zone), the controller will promptly cut off the power supply to the protected machine or send the corresponding control signal.
Upon receiving a signal to stop or slow down, the machine will immediately cease or decelerate its operation, thereby preventing potential injuries.
4. Subsequent Processing
Following the cessation or reduction in speed of the machine, relevant personnel can then proceed with any necessary subsequent processing, such as equipment inspection, troubleshooting or guiding people out of the danger zone.
Additionally, a record of the safety carpet's activation is maintained for subsequent analysis and review.
5. Reset and Recovery
Once the hazardous situation has been resolved, the safety mat can be reset by the control system.
