Industrial Machine Guarding
Troax offers a flexible system of modular protective walls for production environments. The systems are based on posts with different fittings that are combined with sturdy panels of metal mesh, sheeting or polycarbonate. The posts fit several fitting systems so you can create the optimal combination for your machine guarding cell. All systems have fitting details which remain even when the protection has been disassembled, as required by the Machinery Directive. You can read more about safety norms and product testing under the Machine Safety tab.
The systems have a standard height of 2,200 mm and 1,400 mm with a 150 mm floor gap to allow for easier cleaning. The panels are available in 7 different widths, from 200 mm up to 1,500 mm. Both the panels and the posts can be customized to create the desired dimensions. Fitting details, panels and posts for all our systems are kept in stock and can be delivered immediately.
Troax’s panels and posts
are tested along with the bracket systems and certified to withstand impacts from 309 joules up to 2,000 joules. They are made of high quality steel using an automated production process, which ensures a high and consistent product quality.
Mesh Panels
The machine guarding panels have a classic look and a mesh size of 20×100. The frame comes in two widths: ST20 is 19×19 mm and ST30 is 30×20 mm.
Polycarbonate Panels
Transparent ST PC polycarbonate panels offer good overview of the production line and protect against particles and fluids from the production process.
Sheet metal Panels
With URSP sheet metal panels you can create fully covered cells suitable for activities such as welding.
Posts
The standard 60×40 mm post comes in three heights: 1,400 mm, 2,200 mm and 3,000 mm. The welded base results in a stable and robust construction. There is also a larger 80×80 mm post, suitable for rough environments where there is a greater risk of collision or impact with objects.
Customize Your Own
The panels as well as the posts can be customized to create the desired dimensions. Posts can be made to order, while panels are either ordered in the desired size from the factory or customized on site using different customization kits. Panels and posts of all standard sized and colors are kept in stock for quick delivery from our warehouse in Chicago, Illinois
Surface treatment
The panels’ standard colors are grey or black powder paint. Posts are available in black, yellow or grey powder paint. If you prefer another color, the delivery time is around 1-2 weeks. We also stock hot-dip galvanized mesh panels and posts suitable for humid and wet environments.
For extreme environments with high hygiene requirements or a need for acid-resistant stainless steel, we can offer stainless steel panels and posts with a delivery time of around 2 weeks.
