About Haake Technik
Haake Technik GmbH develops and manufactures safety products for machine and plant safety in Vreden (Westmünsterland). The product portfolio includes touch-sensitive switching strips (HSC), Safety Bumpers (HSB), switching mats (HSM), foot protection switches (HFS-FS), key transfer systems (HST) and valve and fitting interlock systems (HSV). The tactile sensors operate on the normally-closed principle with a proprietary contact chain made of conductive contact rollers and insulating wedge elements; switching mats are made in polyurethane with machined aluminium frame profiles, while interlock systems made of stainless steel operate purely mechanically and are maintenance-free. The products are individually configured and shape-adapted – from standard solutions to custom-made special designs. Areas of application include the automotive industry, chemical industry, logistics, mechanical engineering, mining and collaborative robotics; customers include HAZEMAG, the BMW Group and Linde MH. Through branches and sales partners, the family-owned company serves the international market.
