Using a Zippswitch Pressure Sensitive Safety Switch Mat is one of the best ways to detect and protect a person entering into a hazardous machine area. The Zippswitch Safety Relay is the interface between the Safety Mat and the Machine Stop Controls.

How it works:

The Zippswitch Pressure Sensitive Safety Switch Mat is triggered when a person or object comes in contact with its surface. It only takes 15 lbs of force to activate the patented Zippswitch Sensors inside the safety mat. Once activated, a signal is sent to the machine controls via a Zippswitch Safety Relay and within milliseconds, power is removed from the machine, safeguarding the area around the machine.

When using a Zippswitch Pressure Sensitive Safety Switch Mat with a Zippswitch Safety Relay, The Safety System has a Safety Category 3 Rating.
