kollisionstænger

Kollisionstænger, also known as collision bars or safety bars, are a safety feature commonly found on certain types of machinery, particularly in industrial settings. Their primary purpose is to prevent accidents by detecting and responding to unexpected contact with an operator or a foreign object. When a collision is detected, the kollisionstænger system is designed to immediately stop the machine's operation, thereby mitigating potential harm or damage.

These devices typically consist of a flexible or rigid bar positioned in a critical area of the machine, often around moving parts or pinch points. Integrated sensors within the kollisionstænger detect a deformation or displacement of the bar. This detection triggers a signal to the machine's control system, which initiates an emergency stop sequence. The sensitivity of the kollisionstænger can often be adjusted to suit the specific application and the types of potential collisions anticipated.

The implementation of kollisionstænger is a key component of machine safety regulations in many countries, contributing to the overall goal of reducing workplace injuries. They are particularly effective in situations where other guarding methods might be impractical or insufficient to protect against all possible collision scenarios. Regular testing and maintenance of kollisionstænger are essential to ensure their continued reliability and effectiveness in preventing accidents.
