Since 1957, Larco has focused its efforts on developing and producing the most reliable and durable presence-sensing safety mats available. Designed to meet stringent industrial requirements, Larco safety mats offer a durable solution to your machine safety needs, resisting severe environmental conditions with control reliable system performance.

How Larco Industrial Safety Mats Work

Larco presence-sensing safety mats work like a normally-open switch. When stepped on, the "switch" closes and sends a signal to the controller, which, in turn, sends a stop signal to the guarded machine.

Larco controls provide intelligence to the system by monitoring the safety mat and machine wires for malfunctions due to incorrect wiring or physical damage.

Larco safety mats can be secured using a variety of trim and mounting methods that are built for a number of environments, including areas with heavy forklift traffic.

Applications

Larco Industrial Safety Mat Systems have been used for machine safety to successfully reduce hazards in a number of industries in machine point-of-operation, area and perimeter guarding applications, including:

Robotic Welding Laser Welding/Cutting Water Jet Machines Pick and Place Robots Plastics Molding Machines Assembly Machines Automated Material Handling Packaging Machinery Textile Machinery Conveyers Paper Converting Machinery CNC Punches & Tube Benders

Larco safety mat systems can be utilized for a number of applications, including laser cutters, water jet cutters and CNC machines like the one seen here.
