Safety Contact Mats
ASO ASK Series

Trigger an immediate “stop” signal in order to prevent dangerous movement!

The safety contact mat, series ASK from ASO Safety Solutions, is used for safeguarding sections in hazardous areas around machines, presses, robots and other types of active equipment. Stepping on the mat surface triggers a control signal to the stop circuit of the potentially hazardous motion.

This fast contact occurs due to the area switch design on the inside of the mat. A single compound polyurethane material assures impermeability against oils, water and dirt. An anti-slip surface is also implemented into the design.

Optional checkered surfaces in aluminum or highgrade steel can be used in areas where high mechanical demand is placed on the upper mat surface. Safety evaluation controls the switching function of the ASO safety contact mats.

The basic construction of the ASO Safety Contact Mat consist of two conductive plates which are separated by a proprietary isolating layer. These plates are completely potted in a polyurethane material so that they are impervious to oil, water and dirt.

The top consists of a slip resistant checkered pattern. This surface provides excellent resistance against oil and grease. Two cable exits are provided.

These cables consist of one M8 male plug and one M8 female plug in standard construction (Optional Cable Exits are available upon request). Mounting to the floor can be realized with optional aluminum ramp rails RS 14 or BS 14. A mounting frame can be supplied for flush mounting with the floor.
