INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Shielding Panel

A protective shielding panel designed for access doors on industrial machinery to prevent operator exposure to moving parts, electrical hazards, and debris.

Component Specifications

Definition
The Shielding Panel is a critical safety component integrated into the Access Door Shield of industrial machinery. It functions as a physical barrier that isolates hazardous zones from operators during machine operation. Engineered to withstand mechanical impacts, thermal variations, and environmental contaminants while maintaining visibility through transparent sections where required. Typically features mounting interfaces compatible with door frames, quick-release mechanisms for maintenance access, and interlock systems that halt machine operation when opened.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of physical separation and containment. When installed on access doors, it creates a protective envelope around dangerous machine areas. Often incorporates safety interlocks that connect to the machine's control system—when the panel is removed or opened, the interlock triggers an emergency stop or prevents machine startup. Transparent sections (if present) use polycarbonate or laminated glass to allow visual monitoring while blocking harmful emissions or fragments.
Materials
Primary: Powder-coated steel (1.5-3mm thickness) or aluminum alloy (6061-T6). Transparent sections: Polycarbonate (3-12mm) or laminated safety glass. Seals: Silicone or EPDM gaskets. Mounting hardware: Stainless steel (A2/A4 grade).
Technical Parameters
  • Thickness 2.0mm ±0.1mm
  • Dimensions Customizable (typical 600x400mm to 1200x800mm)
  • Transparency ≥85% light transmission (if applicable)
  • Interlock Type Solenoid or mechanical safety switch
  • Mounting Pattern Standardized hole spacing per ISO 14120
  • Impact Resistance IK08 rating
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +80°C
Standards
ISO 14120, ISO 13857, DIN EN 953, ANSI B11.19

Frequently Asked Questions

What standards govern shielding panel design?

ISO 14120 (Safety of machinery - Guards) and ISO 13857 (Safety distances) are primary standards. Regional standards like ANSI B11.19 and DIN EN 953 also apply.

Can shielding panels be customized for existing machinery?

Yes, they are often custom-fabricated to match specific door apertures, mounting points, and hazard profiles while maintaining compliance with safety standards.

How do safety interlocks work with shielding panels?

Interlocks are integrated into the panel mounting system. When the panel is opened, they send a signal to the machine's safety controller to initiate stop functions or prevent restart until properly secured.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
