What is a Machine Door?
A machine door is a protective component designed to limit or prevent access to hazardous areas of a machine during operation. It is an integral part of the safety systems required by Directive 2006/42/CE, aimed at protecting operators from mechanical, electrical, or thermal risks.
Depending on its application, a machine door can take the form of a roll-up flexible door and be:
- Fixed or mobile (hinged, sliding, lifting, etc.),
- Equipped with locking systems or safety sensors,
- Integrated with an emergency stop or access control system.
It plays a crucial role in securing intervention zones, especially during maintenance, setup, or cleaning operations.
To meet all these requirements, Ba2i Technologies has developed the brand-new Profil Machine Door!
Advantages – Ba2i Technologies Machine Door
Automatic Synchronized Protection
- Integrated into the machine’s control system, it ensures that the process only starts when the door is closed, providing double safety — one of the main advantages of a roll-up flexible door.
Clear Definition of Hazard Zones + Enhanced Operator Safety
- In addition to perimeter fencing, it helps define danger zones and restricts access to authorized personnel only.
- The door prevents access to hazardous areas during machine operation, significantly reducing the risk of accidents (it can only be opened when machines are stopped) — the logic behind a roll-up flexible door.
- Les capteurs combinés à un système de sécurité de barrière immatérielle, assurent la protection des opérateurs et sont conformes aux normes suivantes :
- Catégorie 4 (PL e) selon la norme ISO 13849-1 :2015
- SIL CL3 selon la norme EN 62061
Increased Productivity + Durability
- Thanks to its fast and automatic opening, the door minimizes downtime while maintaining a high level of safety.
- Designed to withstand demanding industrial environments, it offers a long service life and requires minimal maintenance.
With so many benefits, this innovation is simply a must-have for your roll-up flexible door solution!
