Machine Safety
Category Selection
A Superb Line of Machine Safety Devices ... Don't let price stand in the way of making a machine or process as safe as possible. You need to be in compliance with national and international standards, but don't overpay to get reliability and high performance for maximum machine safety. AutomationDirect now offers a superb line of machine safety devices with prices that let you do even more to protect what's important. Choose from our certified offering of brand name machine safety components to meet your protection needs, including safety switches, safety light curtains and safety relays.
- A safety switch is typically an electromechanical switch used to detect unsafe conditions and isolate power from the hazard.
- A light curtain uses a row or grid of light beams to detect intrusion and halt or prevent potentially hazardous operations.
- Safety relays are coils and contacts that are designed to be positively driven and assure a reliable opening and closing for safety applications.
Safety Switches
Interlock safety switches are developed and manufactured according to IEC and EN European standards for Type 4 machine safety/ OSHA machine guarding.

Safety Laser Scanners ... New!
Area scanners are an intelligent and cost-efficient way of protecting a zone or area by using lasers in a 275-degree viewing window.
- Operating ranges of 3 and 5.5 meters available
- A great choice for fixed installations as well as mobile applications such as AGVs
- Configurable I/O, dust filtering, warning areas and warning signals all completed through the unit's GUI
Datalogic Safety Laser Scanners Overview
Safety Controllers - MOSAIC
The Reer MOSAIC (MOdular SAfety Integrated Controller) system is modular, expandable and configurable for managing all safety functions of a single machine or an entire plant that offers cost reductions with minimal wiring. The MOSAIC M1 master module can be used stand-alone or with additional expansion modules.
- MOSAIC reduces number of devices and wiring used and overall size of the project
- Speeds up control panel construction
- Allows tamper-proof system configurations
- All logic is configured through a graphic interface
- Lowers the number of electromechanical components for a better performance level and a higher safety level
Safety Relay Modules
Safety relays are coils and contacts that are designed to be positively driven and assure a reliable opening and closing for machine safety applications. IDEM and Dold Safety Relay Modules are developed and manufactured according to IEC and EN European standards and are RoHS, CE and UL Listed. These safety relay modules consist of safety relays that are controlled by built-in monitoring functions.
Safety Mats
Safety mats are used to protect people and machinery from harm. Mats detect the presence of personnel on horizontal surfaces (usually the floor. Mats are wired to specialized safety relays for fail-safe triggering of the intended safety function.
Safety Edges & Bumpers
Safety edges and bumpers are used to protect people and machinery from harm. Edges can be used on any surface, usually near possible crushing or shearing points. Bumpers are used in applications involving vehicles or other moving equipment. Both edges and bumpers are wired to specialized safety relays for fail-safe triggering of the intended safety function.
Two-Hand Controls ... New!
Two-hand control systems are used with a control monitoring relay, and require an operator to use both hands at the same time when initiating a hazardous operation.
- Aluminum and plastic panel enclosures
- Available with or without pushbuttons
Trapped Key Safety Interlock Switches
Dold Trapped Key System Gate Sets provide a full trapped key safety system, in one to five gate sets. They are available in either standard (SX) or solenoid-locking (ZRH) versions. All keys and their corresponding receivers and modules are identical within a set, but unique to any other set. Also available are tongue key actuators (purchased separately from the gate sets), and optional items such as door actuators, captive safety key sets, key modules for key exchange box setup, and mounting plates.
- Interlock safety switch body, coded trap key modules, coded keys, and tongue (key) gate actuator modules are all 316L stainless steel
- Easy installation through comprehensive accessories
- Mechanical safeguarding
- One- to five-gate sets available
- Solenoid and standard versions available
