How to Apply a Safety Edge to a Machine Guard – Part 1: Pressure-sensitive devices
Safety Edges are often forgotten as safeguarding devices. Most machinery engineers and designers are familiar with interlocking devices and light curtains, but once we step away from the familiar, our understanding of how to apply safeguarding devices like a safety edge becomes a bit foggy.
