Overview
What it is
ESM-52 is Bircher’s standard rectangular safety mat (pressure-sensitive mat). Two contact plates inside a fully potted polyurethane body touch when someone steps on the surface, closing the circuit.
What it is used for
Guarding danger zones in front of machines and robots so the machine stops when a person enters the area, and as a step-on switch at automatic doors and revolving doors. Several mats can be combined to cover larger areas.
Key features
- Eight standard sizes from 1000 x 1000 mm to 1600 x 1000 mm.
- Grip-pad surface (structure D), 11.4 mm thick, 11.5 kg/m².
- Three active switching edges.
- Two cables of 300 mm with connector, 150 mm from the edge.
- IP67, -25 to +70 °C, resistant to oils, petrol, solvents and acids per Bircher.
Buying considerations
For intermediate sizes choose ESM-54; for special shapes, cut-outs or several zones choose ESM-57. For safety use the mat must be connected to a Bircher switching device such as ESD3; the pair is type-tested to EN ISO 13856-1.
Installation considerations
Lay the mat directly on the floor or under a floor covering such as carpet. Bircher ramp rails, Z-rails and corner connectors finish the edges and hold the mats in place.
Compatibility
Bircher ESD3 and EsMatix 3 switching devices, connected in series with other Bircher mats up to 5 m² total sensor area.
