High-speed fabric door protects workers from hazardous processes

Dynatect has introduced the Gortite® vertical fabric door. The automated door provides machine guarding to keep hazardous processes like robotic welding separate from people, equipment, and materials.

The high-speed, roll-up door conforms to OSHA requirements. According to the company, the door is designed to support three-week lead times, one-hour field installation, multiple T-slot surfaces, and noncontact sensors.

The door’s fabric curtain is retained in columns to minimize risk of falling through the closed door. It comes standard with proximity switches that sense the end-travel for the door.
