Control panels – Reliable security for your machines.
At SCHMACHTL, we offer you control strips with which you can protect your employees and equipment:
Our control strips ensure that machines or moving parts are immediately stopped upon contact. This effectively protects individuals from injuries and meets the highest safety standards.
Perfectly suitable for applications such as:
- Protective covers
- Lifting tables
- Sliding gates
- Theater stages
How do our switch bars work?
The robust switching strips work with mechanical normally open contacts, which are immediately activated upon contact or impact. Thanks to the forced-opening contacts, the rest current circuit remains closed - when activated, it is interrupted, and the machine is immediately shut down.
Your benefits:
- Maximum safety: Our force-guided contacts immediately stop machines upon activation, effectively protecting against hazards.
- Durable and robust: The sturdy construction effortlessly withstands chemical substances and weather conditions - perfect for your demanding industrial environments.
- Flexibility: Choose from various designs or let us develop a customized solution for your specific requirements.
- Certified: Our safety edges meet the strict safety standards of category 3 and PL d according to DIN ISO EN 13849-1.
Switch mats – Safety for your effective protection.
Our safety mats provide effective protection by immediately putting machines into a safe state as soon as a person enters the protected area. These robust, maintenance-free safety solutions are specifically designed for your demanding industrial applications.
Typical applications:
- Machinery and machining centers
- Presses and robotic systems
- High-bay warehouses and driverless transport systems (FTS)
How do our switch mats work?
Thanks to the principle of residual current, safety mats automatically switch off machines as soon as they are stepped on. After being relieved, they return to the ON state for easy and safe reset. The flexible design allows for adjustment in size and shape, ensuring optimal coverage for every application.
Your Benefits
- Extremely Resistant: The non-slip PU layer easily withstands chemical substances and environmental influences.
- Maintenance-Free: Benefit from a long-lasting solution that requires no additional maintenance effort.
- Flexible and Customizable: Choose from various sizes and shapes or have your switching mats customized to meet your requirements.
- Certified Safety: Rely on certified safety according to Category 3 and PL d according to DIN ISO EN 13849-1.
Bumper – Reliable Safety for your machines with large trailing distances.
At SCHMACHTL, we offer you reliable bumpers so that you can protect your employees and machines. Our bumpers reliably secure pinch and shear points on machines with large overrun paths. Equipped with a sturdy foam pad, they immediately trigger the shutdown of the machine upon contact.
Ideal for:
- Lifting tables
- Machine covers
- Lifting and tilting devices as well as
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
How do our Bumpers work?
The bumpers are made of durable PU soft foam, in which mechanical contact chains are integrated. Upon contact, the electrical connection is interrupted, and the machine immediately shuts off. Optionally, contact chains can also be integrated into the side surfaces to ensure all-around safety. The resistant coating of the foam padding protects against external influences and ensures a long lifespan.
Your benefits:
- Customized design: Tailor the bumpers precisely to your machines and production environment for perfect integration.
- Durable construction: The robust design withstands weather and chemical substances, even in challenging operating conditions.
- Safety first: Integrated contact chains react immediately, providing quick protection and reliable shutdown upon contact.
