Troax UK is showcasing its wide range of modular machine fencing systems at the 2007 Machine Building exhibition. At the heart of the display is the versatile and easy-to-install Rapid Fix machine fencing system that is suitable for virtually any type of industrial environment.
Rapid Fix is designed to be exceptionally quick and easy to install - in around one-third of the time required by conventional guarding systems. It is used widely throughout industry, in particular to protect personnel working in areas where industrial robots and other automated equipment are in operation. Assembled and dismantled by one operative using just an Allen key, its quick demounting facility means maintenance staff can quickly gain access to the guarded area to carry out servicing or repairs, thereby helping to reduce machine downtime. The machine fencing also saves floor space within the production area, as its 100mm x 23mm mesh aperture enables it to be placed very close to the automated machinery. Rapid Fix meets all current machine safety standards such as EN 953 and EN 292.
Troax's Rapid Fix machine fencing will be installed on the Motoman stand, where it will be guarding an automated robot, conveyor and racking.
In addition to machine fencing and perimeter protection systems, Troax's product range also includes anti-collapse pallet rack safety screens, wire mesh shelving and storage enclosures, modular steel and wire mesh partitioning systems, as well as a variety of locking systems.
