Machine guarding solutions

The advanced processes in today’s modern industries place significant demands on safety. There is a great need for controlled access for authorised personnel. Troax mesh panels are based on a carefully developed modular system that also includes special adaptations. Standard system heights are 2200 mm and 1400 mm, with a 150 mm floor gap for easier cleaning. Panels are available in seven widths, from 200 up to 1500 mm. Both panels and posts can be adjusted to a requested size. The Troax panels are on display at Stands E1-E4.
