Effective door solutions play a crucial role in the efficiency and safety of machine guards. System Standex offers durable door solutions that enable easy access to machine components and facili-tate maintenance, repair, and inspection. These door solutions ensure proper closure and securing of the machine guard during operation, minimizing the risk of accidents and unintended contact with hazardous machine parts. System Standex's adaptable door solutions meet the needs of vari-ous machine types and sizes, enhancing the flexibility and usability of the machine guard.

Range of Doors for Machine Guards

Counterweight Lift Door

This type of door uses a cable or chain to lift the door upward, while the counterweight hangs over a pulley. To close the door, the counterweight is lowered vertically, creating a downward movement of the door. This mechanism provides easy and safe access to the machine while maintaining closure to protect against hazardous areas or processes.

Synchronized Counterweight Lift Door

With this type of counterweight lift door, both the counterweight and pulley move syn-chronously. When the cable is pulled, the door is raised, and releasing the cable lowers the door again. This synchronized movement ensures reliable and smooth opening and closing of the door, providing easy access to the machine and effective protection against hazard-ous areas or processes.

Pneumatic Counterweight Lift Door

A pneumatic counterweight lift door uses compressed air to open and close the door. Com-pressed air activates a cylinder that lifts the door upward, and releasing the compressed air lowers the door again. This mechanism allows for quick and efficient opening and closing of the door without manual force. Pneumatic counterweight lift doors are ideal for repeated openings and closings with minimal effort.

Hidden Counterweight Lift Door

In this type of counterweight lift door, the counterweight is positioned in a way that it is not visible from the outside. When the door is opened, the counterweight is pulled upward in sync with the opening, creating a smooth and streamlined movement without visible weight components.

Synchronized Folding Door

With this type of folding door, the two-part door moves synchronously up and down. This is useful for accessing specific areas of the machine while other parts remain enclosed.

Double Hinge Door

This type of door allows partial or wide opening of the guard, suitable for handling larger components or performing extensive maintenance work on the machine. Choosing a double hinge door provides both flexibility and protection.

Top-Hinged Folding Door

A top-hinged folding door is practical in situations where space is limited beside the ma-chine or equipment. By mounting the folding door at the top of the guard, it frees up floor space, making it easier to maneuver around the machine. This is particularly useful in crowded or confined working conditions and supports larger openings with a broader and more stable construction.

Side-hinged doors

Side-hinged doors are ideal in situations where there is a need for wide and unobstructed access to machines or equipment. They enable quick opening or closing of the guard for easy operation, maintenance, and cleaning. They are suitable for opening a larger portion of the guard, facilitating inspection and component replacement.

Sliding Door

A sliding door is typically used in situations where there is limited space to open a traditional hinged door outward. It is suitable for providing access to machines or equipment along a linear path where there is not enough space to open a door outward. Sliding doors glide easily along tracks and require minimal space to open and close. They are practical in narrow areas or where repeated access to the guard is needed while ensuring protection for operators and personnel.

Angular Folding Door

An angular folding door is used where a combination of safety and flexibility in machine guarding is needed. It is used to open the guard at a specific angle to access the machine or equipment. An-gular folding doors can be fixed in various positions to meet specific needs and allow variable degrees of opening. This makes them suitable for ensuring both personnel protection and quick access to the machine when necessary.

Top-Hinged Folding Door

A top-hinged folding door is practical in situations where space is limited beside the machine or equipment. By mounting the folding door at the top of the guard, it frees up floor space, making it easier to maneuver around the machine. This is particularly useful in crowded or confined work-ing conditions. Top-hinged folding doors are also suitable for larger openings, as they can support a wider and more stable construction.

Bottom-Pinned Door

A bottom-pinned door is typically used in situations where it is important to ensure a solid and stable seal of the guard. This type of door is ideal for areas requiring high integrity and protection against dust, dirt, or other unwanted elements. This is particularly crucial in environments where maintaining a clean and sterile working area is necessary, such as in the food or pharmaceutical industries.

Sliding Doors

The sliding door's smooth movement provides easy access to equipment and enables quick maintenance and repairs. With its ergonomic and space-saving design feature, it's easy to operate cabinets and machinery behind guards.

counterweight lift doors

A counterweight lift door can be useful in, for example, manufacturing plants, where secure ac-cess to large machines is necessary for maintenance and repairs. By raising the scissor lift gate, the technician gains easy access to the machine's internal components, enabling safe and efficient maintenance and minimizing production downtime

Folding doors

Folding doors are a space-saving and practical solution in machine guarding. By opening upwards, they provide easy access to the interior of the machine, facilitating quick and seamless maintenance and repair. Folding doors are designed to be durable and resistant to repeated opening and closing, while maintaining functionality and safety. Their design may include safety mechanisms that prevent unintended opening and ensure proper closure during machine operation. With their flexibility, swing doors can be customized to fit various types and sizes of machines, making them suitable for a wide range of industries.
