| As a general rule applies: Machinery and devices presenting dangerous movements must be provided with an emergency stop device. This device is monitored by a suitable safety relay unit. The bumper sensor is are built up of mechanically opening N/C contacts connected in series, in the form of a contact chain. Current conducting contacts rollers and insulating intermediate elements (wedge rollers) are alternately lined up on an expander cord. By pre-tension, the contact rollers are pressed together, and the current circuit is made. | Actuation of the safety edge leads to at least one pair of the contact roller to separate by action of the wedge-shaped intermediate elements, and the current circuit is broken. Due to the positive break of the supply, transformation of the output signal is not required, since a circuit interruption signal is directly available. This signal is fed to the safety relay unit anyway needed for the E-stop button. Note: Wiring of the contact chain is performed in an identical way as of an E-stop button |

An often critical feature for any electrical component, of course for safety edges, too, is sealing. Ingress of humidity or water may lead to failures. Critical for sealing, in a safety edge, is the interface between rubber profile and end caps being normally glued to each other. |
