Recora 1423-14HD Safety Mat With Edging

The Recora 1423-14HD Safety Mat with Edging is a heavy‑duty, four‑wire presence‑detection mat sized 14 × 23 in, engineered for robot guarding and machine safety in industrial cells. It uses a molded plastisol cover over a 0.375 in thick body with a corrugated traction surface, offering activation pressure typically 10–15 lb (approximately 45–67 N) and a sensing load capacity up to 3,000 psi. The 14HD configuration employs two 10 ft, 18 AWG leads for 24 V AC/DC operation and SPST normally open switches, designed to be monitored by a safety controller such as the FSC-6 to form a complete safety system; when used with the FSC-6 controller, the safety system can reach Safety Category 3 level. Edging and mounting components are integral: extruded aluminum ramp (2.000 in wide) and blunt edging (0.750 in) with conduit connector included, plus compatible edging/connectors to finish installations and prevent trip hazards. This mat is ANSI/RIA compliant for robot guarding, and color options include black, brown, or yellow; standard lead length is 10 ft per lead, with a 16‑gauge bottom plate, 20‑gauge top plate, 65‑durometer spacers, and fixed 18‑gauge lead wire. Common applications include robot cells, conveyors, presses, and other automated equipment where operator presence must stop machinery.
