Overview
What it is
S-Line is Bircher’s miniature safety edge system. A small ENT-7 contact strip (4.3 x 7.2 mm) is drawn into compact EPDM profiles, giving a pressure-sensitive edge for places where a standard edge is too bulky.
What it is used for
Revolving and sliding doors, bus and train doors, barriers, and luggage or lifting doors on coaches and transport vehicles. Bircher also shows it on barrier booms combined with ProLoop2.
Key features
- Five profile types, from a self-adhesive 11 x 8 mm profile to 16 mm profiles that sit in aluminium rails.
- Profiles can be ordered with or without sealing lips.
- Response force down to 55 N on EPE016/026A0T.
- Prefabricated edges up to 6 m, or self-assembly from rolls and end pieces.
- IP65, insulation strength 1500 V AC.
Buying considerations
The smallest profiles have little or no overtravel (0 to 2 mm at 400 N), so they suit slow movements or low-energy applications. For gates with higher closing energy, consider ClickLine or ExpertSystem XL.
Installation considerations
Rails are AP-S aluminium for the 16 mm profiles and AP-G2 for EPE016/026A0T; the EPT011 profile is glued. Bircher states S-Line edges form a certified system only together with a safety switching device.
Compatibility
Used with Bircher switching devices such as ESD3 and, per the Sensorama brochure, with ExpertSystem XRF and EasyLoop as supplementary products.

Questions about this product
Can I assemble S-Line edges myself?
Yes. Bircher supplies profiles, ENT-7 contact strip rolls, end pieces and tools so the edges can be built by the user, or delivers them prefabricated.
Which S-Line profile needs no aluminium rail?
EPT011/008A0W is self-adhesive and does not need a rail, according to the S-Line brochure.
