Gortite® VF Automated Machine Safety Door
Dynatect's Gortite VF (Vertical Fabric) Door has been conceived to safely isolate hazardous operations from other industrial processes, material, equipment, and people, while still allowing access to it. The door is installed in conjunction with existing machine guard panels on each side of the door to enhance the separation of environments further.

This high-speed industrial roll-up door is designed to minimize cycle time and maximize production in industrial environments. It satisfies the need of both an automatic roll-up door as well as a high-speed industrial door, but with an application emphasis on it being used as secure barrier in automated processes.

Delivered in as little as three weeks, Dynatect's VF Automated Machine Safety Door can increase productivity while making your processes safer.

Overview
Typical applications of the Gortite VF Safety Door include automated production and machine processes that require preventive measures, such as robotic welding, processing, and transport tasks. The Gortite VF Door can help increase the safety of industrial facilities by containing common process-generated hazards, such as light debris, fluid splatter/mist, weld smoke, sparks, and intense flash.

In order to avoid accidents during daily operations, the door is equipped with a "Traveling Photoeye" sensor, that can bring the door to a full stop in a matter of seconds.

An optional window can be added to the Gortite VF Door to allow for safe supervision of the isolated processes. The red or bronze OSHA Compliant UV window is suitable for welding applications.

Key Advantages:

• Easy Installation - Modular system arrives with top roll header fully assembled. Unit requires no cutting/drilling/taping or welding for assembly. Wall-mount adaptation possible with optional steel plates.
• Freestanding - Design not dependent on machine or wall for support. Provides consistent design and function across multiple lines & work areas.
• Simplicity - Modular system arrives with top roll header fully assembled. Unit requires no cutting/drilling/taping or welding for assembly. Wall-mount adaptation possible with optional steel plates.
• Accessibility - Removable aluminum side column covers provide access for installation, travel adjustment, preventative maintenance, and adding accessories such as interlocks.
• Adaptability - Side columns and top roll header feature T-slots on multiple surfaces for mounting.
• Appearance - Attractive appearance enhances your modern facility. All aluminum and steel external surfaces are powder coated (base plate, columns, covers, and top roll header).
• Reliability - Door mechanism moves on a maintenance-free ballbearing-based guidance system for smooth, low-wear operation.
• Fast Delivery - Delivery in as little as 3 weeks.
• Durability -
• 44" per second standard speed
• Side columns of extruded aluminum profiles and structural 2" square steel tube
• Up to 2 complete cycles per minute, continuous operation
• Developed for more than 1 million cycles
• 1 year warranty
• Safety -
• Door retained in columns to minimize risk of people falling through closed door (conforms with OSHA guardrail requirements)
• Traveling photo-eye option (bottom edge sensing and reversing) available with any controls option
• Safety interlock option meets PLe/Cat-4 safety requirements when combined with appropriate logic and conformance to risk assessment
• Flexibility -
• Fully field adjustable heights for end-travel sensors and optional interlock sensors
• Wide variety of options from "controls-by-integrator" to "turnkey"
• Standard motor can be mounted in multiple orientations to minimize overall door width
