Because automatic doors are integrated into the machine tool programme, they automatically open and close according to the required production cycle. For heights of 2-3 m that’s nothing special. But the automatic door in the PROTECT-PANEL system can manage much bigger sizes.

At the production plant of one of our customers, a first automatic door has been installed which is 6500 mm high, 1600 mm wide, 500 kg in weight and can open and close within 5 seconds. It’s a challenge that we were able to solve with the help of linear drives, a three-phase motor and control shaft technology.
