How to choose the appropriate safety edge type and size?

A:


When choosing the right type and size of safety edge, the following key factors should be considered:

1. Application scenario: Select the appropriate edge model according to the type and movement of the installed equipment (such as automatic doors, lifting platforms, AGVs, etc.).

2. Edge length: Select the appropriate edge length according to the size of the actual protection area to ensure that all potential hazardous areas are covered.

3. Trigger sensitivity: Select the required trigger pressure and response sensitivity to meet the safety requirements of the specific application.

4. Installation method: Confirm whether the selected edge is easy to install on the device (such as embedded, surface mounting, etc.) and compatible with the original control system.

5. Environmental factors: Consider the environment where the edge will be used, such as whether there is dust, moisture, oil, high temperature or low temperature, and select products with corresponding protection levels (such as IP65 and above).

6. Interface compatibility: Ensure that the edge matches the electrical interface of the safety system such as safety controllers and relays for easy integration.

If you are unsure, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or technical support to provide equipment parameters and usage environment for professional recommendations.
