About the Product

TS6 is a compact, low-profile sensing edge designed for pinch point applications where space is tight, but safety remains critical. It combines the responsiveness of a pressure-sensitive switch with added cushioning, delivering immediate activation and reliable protection exactly when it’s needed.

Custom part numbers and detailed technical drawings are provided for all special configurations, ensuring accurate specification, repeatability, and smooth reordering.​

Simple to install and can be used with either our 4-wire failsafe or 2-wire systems with an end-of-line resistor, depending on your safety requirements.
We offer bespoke edge solutions tailored to your application, complete with detailed system drawings to support quick and accurate setup.
