Larco Introduces Comfort Step Anti-Fatigue Safety Mat
BRAINERD, Minn.-Larco, a leading manufacturer of presence-sensing mats used for machine guarding, has developed a new ergonomic presence-sensing safety mat designed to reduce worker fatigue while guarding personnel against injury from hazardous machinery.
The Comfort Step mat was developed to help add the comfort of an ergonomic design to the safety provided by a presence-sensing switch mat. The Comfort Step mat enables workers to use the presence-sensing mat as a traditional safeguarding device, stopping dangerous machinery to load or unload stations, change tools, and still benefit from the comfort of an anti-fatigue mat.
Studies have shown that workers who spend long periods of time on their feet will suffer from a variety of symptoms, like fatigue, leg, neck and back pain. "The Comfort Step mat offers a practical and economical solution for reducing fatigue and providing superior machine guarding," said Bob Wilder, Larco's Industrial Safety Product Specialist.
The Comfort Step mat is manufactured under the same high quality standards that Larco's standard safety mats are known for in today's industrial environments. The Comfort Step is designed for normal foot traffic in tough industrial environments, including ones where liquids and fluids may be present. Larco products have been used in a number of demanding industrial applications, including pick and place robots, plastic blow molding machines, assembly machinery, water jet machines, automated material handling, packaging machinery, textile machinery, paper converting machinery, and CNC punches and tube benders.
Headquartered in Brained, Minn, Larco has 44 years of experience manufacturing presence-sensing mats. It also manufactures a complete line of automatic door control products and has built a solid reputation for quality and performance in both arenas.
