Special Applications
Chemical and ATEX Areas
RAYFLEX SECTOR SOLUTIONS
Controlled and fast transition for Chemical and ATEX Areas.
Door selection, environment class and field safety should be performed in chemical production and risky areas. Rayflex solutions are handled on project basis with appropriate motor, control and security components.
Rüzgâr strength and evaluation of supporting structure
Outdoor industrial doors can be exposed to continuous wind pressure as well as sudden wind shocks. The total force of the effect on the door surface increases when openness grows, so curtain or panel, guides, side bumps, upper mechanism and connection points should be projected according to the same load scenario. The wind resistance indicated in the catalog can be connected to the model, measurement and application condition. The highest value should not be assumed to be if it is applicable for all sizes.
The reinforced concrete, steel or prefabricated surface of the door is also part of the system. The bearing construction must be safely transferred the door loads and the effects of the movement. Building corners, mutual clearances, high facades and wind-open zones may require special evaluation. The appropriate anchor is also important to periodic connection control until the correct assembly range and controlled commissioning. Thus, the protection of the intended strength in the design stage is supported during the operation period.
Security sensors and user protection systems
Security in automatic industrial doors is not a single photocell. Only the risk profile of a controlled pass, which is used by the model of the door, the direction of movement, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, the approach speed and the condition of vision, can be selected together with equipment such as photocell, light curtain, safety edge, radar, warning lamp or audio warning. With a shipping area with forklift traffic, the risk profile of a controlled pass is not the same. The detection area of sensors should be tested with real traffic during the commissioning.
Energy failure, sensor failure, emergency and manual opening scenarios should be defined in project stage. The gate is subject to unexpected obstacle or backward movement, type and control logic of security hardware. The basic training to users should not be left under the door and not be closed of the front of the sensors. The functions of safety equipment in periodic care should be recorded only by testing and not.
Integration of automation, access control and plant systems
An industrial automatic door can be activated by radar, remote control, push button, pull cord, magnetic loop, access card or licence-plate recognition. The appropriate trigger is selected according to traffic direction and access-control requirements. A radar set too wide can cause unnecessary openings, while late detection leaves vehicles waiting in front of the door. Sensor parameters should therefore be adjusted on site after observing approach points, vehicle dimensions and user behaviour.
Door control panel in advanced facilities PLC The production line can exchange signals with building management system, fire alarm or warehouse management. The door can be transferred to the open, closed or faulty status information center system; the cycle meter can provide data to maintenance planning. Interlock between two volumes, air lock or opening fiction can be applied in order. If the introduction, exit and security logic of the integration is defined in the quotation stage, the panel, wiring and the scope of the software is prepared correctly.
Maintenance, service and cost of total ownership
Industrial door price shows the initial investment cost; but more meaningful assessment for the enterprise is the cost of total ownership. Energy consumption, planned maintenance, infused parts, service response time and production loss that the door can create due to failure should be considered together. A small irregularity in a high door can turn bigger wear in a short time. Periodic control, suitable for the manufacturer plan, helps reduce unexpected postures.
During maintenance, guides, connections, motor, motion transmission elements, panel or curtain, seals, control panel and all safety sensors should be examined. The pulse of the door can change the working conditions of equipment placement after the ground distortion or sensor field. The regular retention of service records makes the problems that repeat. Access to spare parts, the technical team's reputation and the intervention plan is part of the decision of purchasing the investment is increasing.
