Born from an inventor’s idea in 1957, Tapeswitch Corporation makes pressure-sensitive switches and industrial machine-safety systems, including ribbon switches, sensing mats and non-contact interlocks. The Farmingdale company’s product lines have grown from those original successes into custom sensing and safety solutions, with its F-Series carrying a documented record of more than 40 years in industrial applications. Tapeswitch became part of privately held Rowan Technologies in 1986 and manufactures its products under ISO quality-management guidelines.
