Pinch Point Safety
Reduce Risk Near Hazard Zones
Wherever mechanical movement occurs, pinch points pose a risk of entrapment or injury. These hazardous zones form where parts move toward one another—whether between two moving components or a moving part and a fixed surface—creating closing gaps that can entrap or injure.
Miller Edge helps mitigate these risks with responsive sensing solutions that integrate easily into equipment. Our products send a signal to motor controls upon contact with an obstruction, supporting safer operations, minimizing downtime, and reducing the potential for costly incidents.
Common Applications
- Conveyor transfer points
- Articulating machine parts or arms
- Sliding or folding panels
- Moving gates, doors, or hatches
- Draw-in or trap zones along automated lines
Recommended Product Solutions for Area Guarding
Sensing Edges
Touch-sensitive devices designed to detect obstructions and signal controls to stop and/or reverse motion.
Ideal for: Conveyor points, panel edges, access doors, and robotic arms
- Sends signal to controls to initiate stop and/or reverse motion upon contact
- Custom lengths for a precise fit
- A variety of profiles and mounting options for narrow, contoured, or irregular locations
- Can be surface-mounted or integrated into equipment
- Easily integrates into safety relay circuits
- Proudly made in the USA for lasting performance
Sensing Mats
Pressure-sensitive floor mats that trigger motor controls or alerts when stepped on—helping define safe zones around moving equipment.
Ideal for: Entry points, operator zones, and floor-level hazard areas
- Detects personnel presence in danger zones
- Custom shapes and sizes for full-coverage fit
- Uniform activation zone for full-coverage detection
- Can be configured to trigger system shutdown or activate visual/audible alerts
- Proudly made in the USA for lasting performance
