Safety and efficiency are crucial factors in the machine tool and automation industry. Maintaining a safe facility operating at maximum productivity means investing in the right equipment. Discover the benefits of roll-up doors, including isolating safety hazards in an industrial setting.
What is the Purpose of a Roll-Up Door for Automation?
An industrial roll-up door is installed to isolate hazardous operations from workers, industrial equipment, and processes while enabling access to the machine. The installation is done to seamlessly work with the current machine guard panels located on the door’s sides, further supporting and enhancing the separation of these environments. High-speed industrial roll up doors function as a barrier in automated processes and a solid rolling door.
Easy to Install
One of the most notable advantages of our roll-up doors is easy installation. The modular system gets to your facility with the top header completely assembled. Getting started is simple because no welding, taping, cutting, or drilling to put the door together. Optional steel plates are available for wall-mount adaptation to fit into any industrial environment.
Independent Standing
Another benefit of roll-up safety door is a freestanding design that does not require a wall or machine for support. As a result, these doors provide consistent function and structure regardless of the work areas and lines. A flexible design makes it possible to use this door in a variety of situations.
Easy Access
Accessibility is crucial when managing an industrial setting with machines that require ongoing attention to ensure smooth operation. Quality toll-up doors have aluminum side column covers that can easily be removed. This level of access allows you to perform preventative maintenance, installations and add accessories. Plus, travel adjustment is faster and more efficient with this level of accessibility.
Adaptable
The only constant in an industrial setting is the need to make changes to improve productivity and performance. Automated roll-up safety doors are adaptable with side columns and a top roll header with T-slots on several surfaces. These T-slots are strategically placed to support mounting for convenient placement in your facility.
Looking Good
Maintaining a modern facility is crucial to attract top talent and make clients feel reassured about the business. Our roll-up doors for industrial use are attractive, making a facility look its best. All the doors’ surfaces are powder powder-coating, the top roll header, base plate, covers, and columns. Keep up with modern and clean appearances by choosing quality roll-up doors that stand up to ongoing use.
Reliable Performance
When you work in a production environment, performance matters because every minute must be maximized. The door mechanism moves up and down on a ball-bearing-based guidance system. The system is maintenance-free with smooth operation and minimal wear. Less downtime means more productive hours in your facility, helping to boost the bottom line.
Durable Dependability
Dependable and durable are important terms to remember when choosing industrial equipment. Our roll-up doors are VFD Compatible with a 44-inch per second standard speed. The continuous operation completes up to 2 cycles per minute, and doors are designed to stand up to over one million cycles. The intelligent design also has side-situated columns of aluminum profiles and a tough square steel tube.
Warranty
Peace of mind matters when investing in your business. When you purchase new equipment, you expect it to work correctly for a long time. Choose roll-up doors that come with a one-year warranty, so you don’t have to worry if a problem arises, and production can continue to move forward. Interruptions cost industrial businesses significantly, making a warranty a must-have feature with any significant investment in operations.
Safety Matters
Maintaining a safe facility is imperative to protect workers and your business reputation. A well-designed industrial roll-up door is retained in columns to reduce the risk of anyone falling through a closed door, which also conforms with the guardrail requirements issued by OSHA. You can get a traveling photo-eye option with any controls option, so the bottom edge senses and reverses. With logic and risk assessment in mind, the safety interlock option meets crucial PLe/Cat-4 requirements for safety to protect everyone in the environment.
Flexible
Flexibility enables you to run a versatile facility that can handle a variety of projects. Quality roll-up doors have adjustable heights for the sensors and include a host of options, such as integrator or turnkey controls. Plus, the standard motor is easy to mount to different orientations to reduce the total door width and save space. Roll-up doors enable facilities to free up more space for production and other processes.
Need to See
If you need to see through to the other side of the doors, one or more clear windows can be added to an industrial roll-up door. For those performing welding applications, OSHA-compliant UV windows are an option. Now supervision is simple with a roll-up door that includes windows to view the other side safely.
Save Essential Space
Space is at a premium in an industrial environment, where the room is required to perform productive tasks and accommodate workers. Paying for more space cuts impacts the bottom line. Installing a physical barrier with safety sensors is a smart way to save up to 30 square feet of space in your manufacturing facility. The roll-up door limits the average approach speed and depth penetration factor, so the safeguarding device can be closer.
Applications
Safety roll-up doors are designed to handle specific applications. The doors are used in machine and production processes that need preventative measures, such as transport, processing, and robotic welding. Also, they protect against common hazards in a manufacturing setting, such as weld smoke, fluid splatter and mist, light debris, intense flash, and sparks.
With all the advantages of investing in safety roll-up doors, it makes sense to find the right one for your facility. Customized options are available to meet the safety and production requirements of any industrial facility. Investing in your business operations today ensure they continue to run smoothly tomorrow and for years into the future.
