Safety mats are pressure-sensitive machine safeguarding products used to protect operators and passer-by around hazardous machinery. When properly installed, safety mats detect the presence of personnel in dangerous areas and stop machine operation to prevent injury.
Pinnacle Systems safety mats are flexible, impact resilient, functional after punctures, extremely durable, and will not rust. Custom safety mats and large machine layouts are our specialty. We are the product manufacturer, and all safety mats are proudly made in USA.
Our safety mat products offer:
- Extremely durable construction
- Functions after being punctured
- Will not kink or short out when bent
- Large 6′ x 12′ (1829mm x 3658mm) single mat size capability
- Hermetically sealed (NEMA 6, IP67) rated
- Customized sizes available with no tooling costs
- Customized wire exit locations with no tooling costs
- Largest selection of safety mat sizes and styles available
- Designed to minimize installation time
Designed, Manufactured, and Supported by Pinnacle Systems
Pinnacle Systems is the direct manufacturer of the industry’s largest selection of safety mat sizes and styles. Our mats are engineered to withstand the harshest industrial environments without kinking or shorting when bent.
When properly installed, a safety mat protects personnel by creating a “detection zone.” If a worker steps on the mat, the internal normally open (NO) switches close, sending a signal to the controller to initiate a safety stop.
Our safety mats are built to be:
- Compliant: Our systems meet global safety standards, including OSHA, ANSI, CSA, and ISO.
- Flexible & Resilient: Unlike rigid alternatives, our mats will not rust or fail under heavy impact.
- Highly Customizable: We offer irregular cuts, contours, and custom wire exit locations with no tooling costs.
Our safety mats meet the following safety standards: OSHA 29CFR 1910.212, ANSI B11.19 (2010), ANSI/RIA R15.06 (R2009), CSA-Z432-04, EN ISO 13856-1, EN 954-1, ISO 13849-1, IEC/EN 60204-1
Protecting Personnel in Any Environment
Our safety mats provide peace of mind in applications where light curtains may not be feasible due to layout or environmental debris. Common applications include:
Robotic Cells:
Protecting the perimeter of active robot arms.
Welding Stations:
High-temp mats for robotic welding and forging.
Automated Assembly:
Ensuring safe entry/exit points for technicians.
Large Machinery:
Specialized layouts for oversized equipment footprints.
Properly designed safety mat systems allow for maximum operator visibility while effectively guarding dangerous floor areas without the need for physical fencing.

NSD Safety Mats (Standard Heavy Duty)
The traditional normally open (NO) switch mat system. This heavy-duty, flexible system is a Category 3-rated solution that meets all standard safety requirements.
Customized shapes and sizes available, with single mat sizes up to 6′ x 12′. Made in USA.
STTS Safety Mats (High Security)
Simply the most durable safety mat system in the world. The Category 4 STTS Controller pulses each individual mat every 19Ms to ensure the system has not been tampered with. This provides the highest level of safety integrity available.
Customized shapes and sizes available, with single mat sizes up to 6′ x 12′. Made in USA.
High-Temp Welding Mats
Designed specifically for harsh environments such as robotic welding and hot forging. These non-skid mats feature irregular contours and notches to accommodate specific welding cell layouts and remain functional despite sparks and heat.
Customized shapes and sizes available, with single mat sizes up to 6′ x 12′. Made in USA.
