Industrial safety mats play multiple key roles in industrial production, and their core functions can be summarized as follows:
1. Real-time personnel safety protection
Safety mats detect pressure changes through pressure-sensitive technology. When personnel mistakenly enter dangerous areas (such as mechanical operation areas, robot work areas), safety mechanisms (such as equipment emergency stop, alarm prompts) are immediately triggered to avoid collisions, pinching and other accidents. For example, in scenes such as stamping equipment and welding robots, safety mats can effectively prevent operators from being involved or scalded
2. Improve production efficiency and stability
Traditional safety measures (such as mechanical fences) may frequently interrupt the production process, while safety mats reduce human intervention through automated responses to ensure continuous operation of equipment. For example, in assembly lines or automated workshops, the quick response of safety carpets can reduce downtime caused by misoperation and indirectly increase production capacity
3. Comply with international safety standards
The design of safety carpets must meet international standards such as ISO 13849 and EN 1760-1. When used with safety controllers, the safety level can reach PL e or Cat.3, helping companies pass safety production certification, avoid legal risks and enhance corporate image
4. Adapt to harsh industrial environments
Using special load-bearing rubber (EPDM/EPM) or PVC materials, safety mats have high temperature resistance (-20℃~+260℃), corrosion resistance (acid/alkali/oil), anti-slip and other characteristics, suitable for high-pollution and high-load scenarios such as welding workshops and metallurgical industries
5. Intelligent integration and expansion
Modern safety carpets can be linked with sensors and PLC systems to upload data to the central monitoring platform in real time to achieve remote early warning and fault diagnosis. For example, multiple carpets can be connected in series to cover a larger area to meet the protection needs of complex production lines616.
Summary
Industrial safety carpets take into account both safety and production efficiency through the closed-loop mechanism of "pressure sensing-signal triggering-equipment response", and are an important guarantee for human-machine collaboration in the era of Industry 4.0. Its selection needs to be combined with specific working conditions (such as load-bearing, chemical environment) and certification requirements. It is recommended to give priority to products that support customized sizes and IP65 or above protection levels.
