Automated Barrier Door
<p>The <a href="~/link.aspx?_id=F2FBB1C76FE148C7B78CBB6CE899CE3C&_z=z">Defender™ automated barrier door</a> is the ideal machine guarding door for applications in which a machine operator interfaces with a machine, robot or process. <br />
<br />
When it comes to safety barriers, there’s a big difference between a traditional light curtain and the Rite-Hite Defender™. <br />
<br />
Machine protection you can see, feel and depend on. Defender™ will save floor space and improve work efficiency. Trust it to contain application hazards, including weld flash, sparks, smoke, mist, flying debris, and other process hazards. <br />
<br />
Defender™ replaces ineffective electronic systems, with a dependable, physical automated barrier that can help you comply with the latest safety standards. If you want to protect people, productivity, and your manufacturing bottom line, depend on Defender™. <br />
<br />
You’ll see Defender™ barrier doors in a wide variety of manufacturing environments, from robotic welding and assembly to paper converting, printing, and CNC routing. In every industry, Defender™ outperforms traditional light curtains. It's a barrier you can see and touch, not an invisible beam easily triggered by accident, halting production and costing you money. <br />
<br />
Light curtains require an extra buffer of floor space to create a safety zone. Defender™ can eliminate that required buffer zone. Staging areas can be placed closer to the process, conserving motion, improving ergonomics and increasing productivity. There isn’t a light curtain in the world that can stop sparks from flying, chips and fluid from spraying, or smoke from spreading, but Defender™ can. It’s a visibility safer form of machine guarding. <br />
<br />
The hassles associated with <a href="~/link.aspx?_id=B0E3721E300E4B5199FA7784AA356C00&_z=z">light curtains</a> disappear with Defender™. Minor accidental contact won't trigger a safety shutoff and stop a process or cut into productivity. <br />
<br />
Your safety personnel will be impressed by all the regulatory standards Defender™ can help you comply with. Everything from the new European ISO specifications to existing ANSI/RIA standards. <br />
<br />
The movement of a Defender™ door is a signal to workers and their supervisors that a process is complete and it’s time for productive action. <br />
<br />
