Access control door unit VertiGuard™

Overview
The VertiGuard is an automated, vertically rising barrier door for machine guarding of single or double robotic cells, part assembly stations and conveyor openings. It provides a physical containment solution from application-driven hazards while minimizing safety-system footprint and allowing overhead crane access.

Highlights

• Vertically rising, pneumatic operation
• Fully sealed side frames and panel design to prevent access to hazards
• Low-profile design to reduce reach-in and support ergonomic loading
• Designed to contain weld flash, sparks, smoke, mist, flying debris and similar exposures
• Delivered fully assembled for plug-and-play installation

Benefits / Design

• Physical containment that restricts access both mechanically and can be integrated with safety-rated switches and controls
• Optional safety-rated components: Cat. 4, PLe, SIL3 when integrated per applicable standards
• Pneumatic cylinder engineered for millions of cycles to support continuous production
• Manufactured under ISO 9001 specifications
• Reduces machine cell footprint and permits overhead crane loading where required
• Simple optional Control Box available; limited one-year warranty (SOP)

Applications

• Single and double robotic cells
• Part assembly operations requiring physical containment
• Conveyor openings where containment of weld flash, debris or similar hazards is required
• Alternative to light curtains or area scanners when a physical barrier is preferred
• Installations needing reduced cell footprint and overhead crane access
