what are Safety Edges ?
Safety edges are pressure sensitive devices fitted to the leading edges of lift doors. Their primary function is to detect contact or obstruction during door movement and immediately trigger a response.
In simple terms, they act as a protective barrier between the moving lift doors and passengers or objects.
When pressure is applied to the edge:
- The system detects the obstruction instantly
- A signal is sent to the lift controller
- The doors stop and reopen to prevent harm
This ensures safe operation in high traffic environments where reliability and responsiveness are essential.
