SGE series safety contact strips provide another solution to meet safety requirements for machine guarding applications, and can be an integral part of many comprehensive machine safeguarding solutions.
They can be used to safeguard many hazards, including gates, doors, machines and scissor lifts.
The safety contact is housed in and protected from damage by an outer covering of non-conductive rubber that allows actuation angles up to 90 degrees.
This construction offers low resistance, even in lengths exceeding 100 meters.
With headquarters in the heart of Silicon Valley, STI was founded over 30 years ago and employs more than 330 people.
STI has been selected twice by Forbes and three times by Business Week as one of the "world1s best small companies." STI's safety products are used to protect workers around machinery, automated equipment and industrial robots.
