Safety Bumpers are used to secure pressure points and shearing points:
Any sort of machinery, transport system, hangar gate and all sort of moving parts that can endanger people and machinery.
Safety buffers are used on all manner of transport vehicles, automated warehouses, any moving system where safety arrangements are necessary.
The short reaction time of these buffers ensures an immediate 'stop' instruction. The ASB bumper consists of a foam core inner, fused to an aluminium framework inside a polyurethane or NBR rubber netting which give mechanical and weather protection.
At the core of this bumper is a contact strip which, on activation, initiates a signal which the monitoring electronics use to issue an immediate 'stop' command. With the appropriate size of buffer a positive signal is ensured, even in a slow-acting environment.

Lengths and connections
The safety bumper ASB is available up to 3000mm in length. Cable exits are at the end of the bumpers.
For non-standard bumpers, please enquire.
Skins and colours
Skins can be either in PU or NBR materials. PU skins come standard in black, yellow or black with yellow warning stripes. NBR skins are black; additional stripes in yellow are available. Customised colours, lettering and graphics are also available; as are weatherproof and flame retardant versions.
Construction type and method of operation
The safety bumper ASB consists out of a foam inner, fused together with an aluminium framework and is then covered with a polyurethane netting or an NBR rubber. The outer skin provides excellent protection from damage and humidity. Inside each bumper is a safety contact strip triggered by external contact with the bumper. This information in turn triggers a signal in the associated electronics (i.e. to stop movement in an attached device). By choosing the right bumper configuration, a definitive signal - even in slow-acting systems - is guaranteed. Additionally, the electronics have an integrated control system to monitor for cable breaks and other defects.
