Abstract
Safety mat for safeguarding a technical installation, comprising a sensor, a rigid supporting body and an evaluation unit. The sensor has an active sensor area and a flexible connection region for contacting the sensor area. The flexible connection region is formed at a border of the active sensor area. The supporting body has a base with a top side and a side face which adjoins the said top side. The evaluation unit is arranged in the interior of the supporting body below the active sensor area and is configured to generate an output signal depending on the actuation of the active sensor area. The active sensor area covers the top side of the base of the supporting body completely, and the connection region of the sensor is folded around the side face through 180° and guided into the interior of the supporting body.
