Description
Tapeswitch TS-3 Micro Sensing Edges are among the most compact pressure sensitive safety edges available. Only ½in. wide and 5/16in. high, they provide reliable sensing in minimum space. These edges can be mounted with double-faced tape or using aluminum channel.

TS-3 Micro Sensing Edges are available in lengths from 6in. to over 100ft., making them suitable for pressure sensitive detection, signaling, or emergency stops on long assembly lines or conveyor systems.The PVC housing is resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. The internal switching element is rated for 3 million operations at any point. All TS-3 pressure sensitive safety edges are supplied with 4-lead Fail-Safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
