Safety bumpers are impact-absorbing protective elements designed to enhance safety in industrial environments by preventing injuries and protecting machinery from collisions. Made from durable foam or rubber materials with an integrated sensor system, they detect pressure and provide a cushioning effect upon impact. Commonly used in automated systems, AGVs (automated guided vehicles), and machine guarding applications, bumpers ensure safe interaction between humans and machines. When combined with safety controllers, they can trigger an emergency stop if a collision occurs. Their customizable shapes and sizes make them ideal for various industrial and robotic applications where reliable impact protection is essential.
Tapeswitch safety bumpers are sensors designed to prevent impacts on people or equipment. They are primarily used as safety devices for moving machinery, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or transfer carts, with applications in areas like revolving doors. Safety bumpers are ideal for situations requiring a longer stopping distance than standard safety edges. When the bumper is compressed, it generates an emergency stop signal. After the signal is issued, the bumper has a compression distance within which the machine must stop to prevent accidents.
