Reset mechanism: Automatic recovery after pressure disappears
When external pressure is removed:
The flexible outer layer returns to its original state by its own elasticity, the internal conductive contacts separate, and the circuit is disconnected again.
At this time, the safety touch edge stops sending trigger signals, and the device needs to be manually reset (such as pressing the reset button or rotating the reset button) before it can be restarted to prevent misoperation from causing danger.
Core features: Relying on physical contact, suitable for supplementary protection
Compared with devices such as safety light curtains (non-contact infrared detection) and emergency stop buttons (manual triggering), the core difference of the safety touch edge is that it must be physically contacted to trigger protection, so it is more suitable as the "last line of defense" and is installed at the edge or dead corner of mechanical movement (such as equipment gaps, irregular moving parts) to make up for the blind spots of non-contact protection.
Case: Forklift operation area in logistics warehousing factories In logistics warehousing factories, forklifts frequently come and go, responsible for the handling and loading and unloading of goods. To prevent forklifts from colliding with people, shelves or other objects during driving, safety touch edges are installed on the front, side and edge of the operating table of the forklift. One day, a forklift accidentally hit a shelf when turning due to obstructed vision. The safety edge installed on the front of the forklift was triggered, and the signal was transmitted to the forklift control system. The forklift immediately slowed down and stopped, avoiding property losses caused by the shelf being knocked down and the goods falling, as well as possible casualties. The safety edge greatly improves the safety of forklift operations, reduces various accidents caused by forklift collisions in logistics warehousing factories, and ensures the safety and order of the warehousing environment.
