Company Overview

Tapeswitch Corporation, founded in 1957 and headquartered at 100 Schmitt Boulevard, Farmingdale, New York, is a specialized manufacturer of pressure-sensitive safety sensing and signaling devices used extensively in industrial robot safety and machine guarding applications. For over 65 years the company has focused on one core mission: keeping people safe around hazardous machinery through robust, reliable sensing products.

The company's primary product lines include safety mats, sensing edges, sensing bumpers, safety light curtains, safety laser scanners, and safety interface controllers. Safety mats are installed around robotic work cells and automated assembly lines to detect personnel presence and trigger machine shutdown; models include the ArmorMat (impact-resistant, moisture-protected), ControlMat (industrial-duty pressure-sensitive mat, chemical and abrasion resistant), Comfort Zone dual-purpose sensing mats, and the Diamond Plate Safety Mat with heavy-gauge aluminum deck plate rated for factory traffic around robotic cells. Tapeswitch claims the widest commercially available range of safety mat sizes and ratings on the market.

Sensing edges are available in multiple profiles and actuation forces and are typically mounted on machine edges, doors, or robot end-effectors to provide emergency stop signals on contact. Sensing bumpers—including the SE Series, Hercules, and VB-Series—are designed for mobile equipment and AGVs, detecting collisions before damage or injury occurs. Safety interface modules (SIM/PCU) unify all Tapeswitch safety products into a single CAT 4-rated safety system solution, simplifying integration with machine PLCs and robot controllers.

Target industries include packaging, metalworking, material handling, robotics, paper processing, waste management, and building/facilities management. Tapeswitch products are used in robot area guarding, automated assembly line guarding, automatic door operation, process cycle control, and general hazardous area guarding. The company is an ISO 9001:2015 registered firm, and its products carry UL, cUL, CE, and TUV compliance marks, making them suitable for global deployment.
