Safety contact edges are employed to guard closing edges at possible crushing or shearing points. They are used in gates, machines and handling facilities to protect people and equipment. They consist of an aluminium support profile, the contactor profile and the safety contact edge. The special shape of the EPDM or NBR rubber profiles protects the inside safety contact edge in the best possible way from damage and allows actuating angles to exceed 90°. Constant monitoring is achieved using the closed-circuit principle.

The last safety contact edge in a possible serial connection is fitted with a terminal resistor, which is continuously monitored by an electronic evaluation unit. This design allows the entire circuit to be monitored for shorts and wire breaks.

The SKL profiles are constructed according to the one chamber principle into which the contact surfaces have been extruded. Adhesive film or a special mounting on the side facilitate the installation.
