Flexion ™ Curvable Sensing Edge System
A pressure sensitive safety edge that follows application contours,
curved or serpentine, in a choice of profiles, sensitivities, and colors
The Flexion Curvable Sensing Edge System from Tapeswitch offers a simple solution for situations where a pressure sensitive safety edge is required to curve laterally. The innovative interlinked mounting channel provides the flexibility to follow the natural contours of a mounting surface, including those with an “S” curve. The minimum radius is 18 inches, depending on the sensing edge selected.

The Flexion ™ system offers a choice of several sensing edge types with various profiles, sensitivities and colors. Each pressure sensitive safety edge is composed of a continuous length of sealed ribbon switch encased in a rugged extruded housing. All Flexion ™ Sensing Edges are supplied with 4-lead fail-safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
