System Components
The Safedge sensitive edge systems are used in a variety of applications where the edge of an object must be detected by contact. The Safedge system consists of three parts: 1) a C-rail, which is used to mount the profile; 2) a profile, which contains the sensing surface; and 3) a control unit, which checks the operation of the profile and interfaces with the control system. A typical system is shown below.
