Robotteknik Automation in Vetlanda, Sweden has been using the NORDIC machine protection doors for their robot cells since the beginning of 2016. Robotteknik is, among other things, producing compact welding cells.
– Robotteknik had earlier been using light curtains as protection in front of the robot cells. Looking for a protection that could be located closer to the cell, we found the NORDIC 344 machine protection doors, tells Jussi Lehikoinen, CEO.
The advantage with the NORDIC roll doors was that they made it possible to build a more compact cell, but also eliminated the problem with production stops when somebody accidentally obstructed the light curtain.
Looking at the NORDIC range of doors Jussi Lehikoinen immediately decided to use the type NORDIC 344 rollback. With the top roll and moving parts on the back of the door and the fact that it can easily be mounted to simple steel posts in the door opening, it was the ideal solution for Robotteknik’s production cells.
To improve safety as operators work close to the cells, Robotteknik is ordering the NORDIC doors with a safety photocell curtain and NORDIC drive A2 vector control.
– The feedback from delivered doors is good and the support from NORDIC door has been excellent. The doors are trouble-free installed by ourselves with help from the manuals and the electrical drawings, says Jussi Lehikoinen.
