Safety fencing for France March 1st 2007 Troax has won a major contract to supply its Safe-Fix machine fencing systems to machine tool manufacturer Amada SA in France. It is supplying a range of integrated safety solutions, including machine fencing, interlocking systems and doors. The Safe-Fix machine fencing systems will be used on machines at the Charleville-Mezieres factory where punching and laser machines are produced, and at the Chateau-du-Loir factory which produces press brakes and shear machines. The fencing is a robust, modular system of welded wire mesh panels which are designed to enclose potentially hazardous automated machinery to protect personnel working nearby. Doors providing access to guarded areas are fitted with Troax mechanical Safe-Lock interlocking system, which incorporates a number of integral safety features to prevent unauthorised access to the danger zones. The fencing's welded, wire mesh panels are constructed from steel tube for strength, while the mesh aperture of 100 by 23mm allows close positioning to equipment, maximising space yet meeting safe distance requirements.
