The EU Machinery Directive 98/37/EC define all automatic gates and doors as machines, it is important that all manufacturers, suppliers, installers and users of automatic gates ensure that they comply with the directive. As part of this requirement suitable safety edges must be fitted.
The ClickLine range of safety edges are suitable for automatic door installations with the wide range of sizes we have on offer, plus two versions with sealing lips for keeping the elements out. The safety edges status for swing gates can be monitored using the XFR wireless switching system, the safety edges are connected to radio linked transmitters which are monitored for safety edge actuation or system malfunctions. Alternatively, EsGate wired switching units can be used where a safety category 2 or 3 solution is required.
For actuation of the opening or closing sequence of the door, we have a range of vehicle detectors, such are the Herkules microwave motion sensor as well as inductive loop solutions. Take a look at the solutions we can offer in the vehicle detectors & sensors section of the website.
Please note, the safety edges suggested in this section are based on typical products used for sliding gates and it is imperative that you carry out a full risk assessment to determine the requirements for your installation.
