Safety Bumper HSB®

HSB BUMPERS FROM HAAKE TECHNIK

The bumper is made of soft polyurethane foam, in which the contact chains are embedded. The number and the locations of the contact chains are selected according to the size and application of the Safety Bumper.

For a purely linear movement, normally the front side only of the Safety Bumper is used as the actuation surface. In other cases, when the machines also run along curves, the side faces, too, are equipped with contact chains.

The complete foam-rubber body with the embedded contact chains is glued to a carrying plate and fully coated with a polyurethane layer. The colour is black or signal red. Yellow safety stripes can optionally be applied.

Upon actuation of the Safety Bumper (sensor), the current flow is interrupted, based on the special geometry of the chain links inside the sensor. This interruption represents the OFF condition of the output signal switching device and thus transfers the safety output signal to the machine control system.
