Sensing Edge Conforms to Application Requirements

November, 2004: The Flexion™ Curvable Sensing Edge System from Tapeswitch Corporation provides a simple solution in situations where a sensing edge is required to curve laterally. An innovative interlinked mounting channel provides the flexibility to follow the natural contours of an application, including those requiring an “S” curve. Typical applications for the Flexion™ System include curved sliding doors, medical tables, S-curve enclosures, and contoured pinch points.

Each sensing edge is composed of a continuous length of sealed ribbon switch encased in a rugged extruded housing. It is water and chemical resistant for long life under severe environmental conditions. The Flexion™ System offers a choice of several sensing edge types with various profiles, sensitivities, and colors.
