R+T 2015: Mayser presents sensor profiles

Ulm, 14. January 2015 – A hot topic at the trade fair, which this year celebrates its 50th. anniversary, is building safety. With its tried-and-tested obstacle detection systems, Mayser has a longstanding record of protecting people in the vicinity of automated doors, gates and windows. Now the safety technology specialist has expanded its range of Safety Edges for doors to include a number of DIY sensor profiles.

Unlike Mayser Safety Edges, which feature a sensitive contact strip encased in a rubber profile, the SP 37 and SP 57 are co-extruded sensor profiles. This design makes handling easier and increases flexibility. There is also a clear advantage on site, because the sensor profiles can be combined with variable aluminium profiles and end caps and instantly fixed directly onto doors and gates, creating fully functioning Safety Edges. The sensor profiles stand out due to easy handling and quick response time as well as superior water-tightness and cost effectiveness. DIY production of Safety Edges with Mayser sensor profiles requires no adhesives. Instead, the parts lock together mechanically. This results in Safety Edges with a high watertightness rating of IP67.

Mayser is already developing more new members of the SP family. With various geometries, overall heights and fixing methods, it aims to make these flexible anti-pinch sensors capable of being suitable for all sorts of applications on doors and gates.
