Photoelectric Beam & Safety Bump Strip

Photoelectric beams and safety bump strips are essential safety devices for automatic gates and roller doors, ensuring smooth operation while protecting users and vehicles. The photoelectric beam (also know as photo beam) is a sensor that detects objects or obstructions in the path of the gate or door by using a transmitter and receiver. When an object interrupts the invisible beam, the system immediately halts the movement of the gate or door, preventing potential accidents. This makes photoelectric beams ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring safety for pedestrians and vehicles.

Safety bump strips, also known as edge safety strips, are pressure-sensitive devices installed along the edges of automatic gates and roller doors. These strips detect contact with any object or person. When pressure is applied to the strip, the gate or door stops or reverses its movement to avoid injury or damage. Safety bump strips are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings, as well as residential properties, offering an additional layer of protection in environments where heavy gates and doors are in use.

Both safety devices are crucial for meeting safety regulations and providing peace of mind. By incorporating photoelectric beams and safety bump strips into automatic gate and roller door systems, you ensure reliable protection against accidents. These devices are durable and designed to perform in various weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor installations. They also contribute to the overall longevity of automatic systems by reducing the likelihood of collisions or wear-and-tear from repeated impact.
