Dynatect Manufacturing: Gortite VF automated machine safety door

Dynatect’s Gortite® VF Automated Machine Safety Door can increase productivity while making your processes safer.

It’s intended to safely isolate hazardous operations from other industrial processes, material, equipment, and people, while still allowing access to it.

The door is installed in conjunction with existing machine guard panels on each side of the door to enhance the separation of environments further.

This high-speed industrial roll-up door is designed to minimize cycle time and maximize production in industrial environments.

It satisfies the need of both an automated roll-up door as well as a high-speed industrial door, but with an application emphasis on it being used as secure barrier in automated processes.

The door is equipped with a traveling photoeye sensor, that can bring the door to a full stop in a matter of seconds.

Key Advantages:

• Easy Installation — Modular system arrives with top roll header fully assembled. Unit requires no cutting/drilling/taping or welding for assembly. Wall-mount adaptation possible with optional steel plates.
• Freestanding  — Design not dependent on machine or wall for support. Provides consistent design and function across multiple lines & work areas.
• Simplicity — Modular system arrives with top roll header fully assembled. Unit requires no cutting/drilling/taping or welding for assembly. Wall-mount adaptation possible with optional steel plates.
• Accessibility — Removable aluminum side column covers provide access for installation, travel adjustment, preventative maintenance, and adding accessories such as interlocks.
• Adaptability — Side columns and top roll header feature T-slots on multiple surfaces for mounting.
• Appearance — Attractive appearance enhances your modern facility.  All aluminum and steel external surfaces are powder coated (base plate, columns, covers, and top roll header).
• Reliability — Door mechanism moves on a maintenance-free ball bearing-based guidance system for smooth, low-wear operation.
