Product catalog summary
Overview: The Defender™ Automated Barrier Door is a machine guarding solution designed to enhance safety in manufacturing environments. It restricts access and guards operators by combining safety interlock switches with a movable physical barrier.
Specifications: The Defender is capable of achieving up to PLe, Category 4 level safety. It uses Armorplex™ curtain material, which is a durable, flame-resistant, high tensile black curtain material tested to ASTM standards. The padded SAF-T-Edge™ enhances safety with a 9-inch padded soft bottom edge.
Procedures: The Defender can be placed closer to the process than traditional light curtains, following a specific distance formula. It provides clear visual communication with switches/controls indicating safe (green) and unsafe (red) conditions.
Standards and Compliance: The system complies with various standards, including EN 13241-1, 89/106/EEC, 2006/42/EC, and 2004/108/EC. It is designed to meet the latest regulations and demanding manufacturing processes.
Recommendations: Ideal for any point-of-operation that exposes employees to potential injury. It helps contain process-driven hazards such as weld flash, sparks, flying debris, mist, spray, and smoke.
Additional Features: The Defender offers multiple control packages, from basic relay controls to integrated PLC encoders, all with quick disconnect fittings. It is part of a broader range of safety systems including vehicle restraints, loading dock levelers, and industrial doors.
