Frommelt Safety, Milwaukee, Wis., updated its automated barrier door—the Guardian Defender—to protect employees from automated stretch-wrap machines as well as other robotic machine movement zones. The new door boasts patent-pending upgrades to its non-contact safety switch configuration, control systems and interlocking capabilities.
The Guardian Defender’s high-speed, high-cycle automated door safely separates machine operators and manufacturing processes. It also contains fumes, sparks, smoke, mist, flying debris, excess noise and other common manufacturing process by-products, making it ideal for robotic welding cells, automated assembly and palletizing/packing machinery. Additionally, the roll-up design leaves a minimal footprint into the typically crowded manufacturing cell.
