Larco industrial pressure mats, low voltage wall switches and accessories

Industrial Pressure Mat Systems

 Since 1957 , Larco has focussed its efforts on developing and producing the most reliable and durable presence-sensing mats available. Designed to meet stringent industrial requirements, Larco safety mat systems offer a durable solution to your guarding needs, resisting severe environmental conditions with control reliable system performance.

How Larco Industrial Safety Mat Systems Work
A Larco pressure sensitive safety mat works like a normally “open” switch. When stepped on, the “switch” closes and sends a signal to the controller, which, in turn, sends a stop signal to the guarded machine.

Larco controls provide intelligence to the system by monitoring the safety mat and machine wires for malfunction due to incorrect wiring or physical damage.

Larco presence-sensing mats can be secured using a variety of trim and mounting methods that are built for varying environments, including areas with heavy fork-lift traffic.

Larco pressure sensing safety mat systems have been used to successfully reduce hazards in many industries in machine point-of-operation, area and perimeter guarding applications for the protection of workers.

Work place health and safety is a key issue in all industries. Employers cannot afford to ignore the legal ramifications and consequences that can result from a workplace injury to staff or an injury to a member of the public.

Larco safety mat systems can be utilised for a number of applications, including laser cutters, water jet cutters and CNC machines like the one seen here.

Larco Industrial Safety Mat systems offer unparalleled durability and versatility for your machine safeguarding needs.
