TS-6 & TS-16 Mini Sensing Edges
|
|
Low profile, pressure sensitive safety edges with high sensitivity and
immediate actuation with no overtravel (TS-6) or 1/4" overtravel (TS-16)
|
 |
|
Tapeswitch TS-6 & TS-16 Mini Sensing Edges are designed for limited space applications requiring a high sensitivity, pressure sensitive safety edge. These two sensing edges differ mainly in height and sensitivity. The TS-6 is 0.33” high and requires 1.5 lbs to activate, while the TS-16 is 0.56” high and requires 2.2 lbs to activate.

|
These pressure sensitive sensing edges have PVC housings, which are resistant to water, oil, hydraulic fluids, and coolants. The internal switching elements are rated for 3 million operations at any point. They mount in snap-in channel that is available in two configurations: flat (aluminum or PVC) or with a right-angle mounting edge (aluminum only). All TS-6 and TS-16 pressure sensitive safety edges are supplied with 4-lead fail-safe wiring and are compatible with Tapeswitch Safety Controllers.
