Safety edges

Safety edges are essential safety elements in automation systems for gates, garage doors and automatic barriers.

Category Safety edges includes protective devices that react to pressure or contact, transmitting a signal to the control centre to stop or change the direction of operation of the automation. They are frequently used in areas where there is a risk of crushing or impact, such as the edges of the sliding gates, doors or industrial doors. Choosing suitable sensitive edges contributes significantly to the safety of users, protecting vehicles and extending the life of the automation system.


What are Sensitive Edges
