Easily assembled, cost-efficient panels now bear higher loads thanks to a new profile design
Bosch Rexroth has enhanced the EcoSafe portfolio of modular components for protective fences and enclosures, thus optimizing cost-effectiveness, flexibility and equipment safety. Complementary frame profiles, quick-to-assemble direct panels and connectors reduce the assembly work involved so that new installations, conversion projects and extensions can be carried out quicker. The free MTpro engineering software speeds up planning with numerous design aids, automatically generated parts lists.
Variable production requires safety guarding in the production environment that can be put in place and altered quickly. The next generation of EcoSafe protective guarding from Bosch Rexroth meets these requirements. As well as maintaining its compatibility with the original EcoSafe system and structures made from Bosch Rexroth’s modular aluminum profile system.
A slim, yet stable, 22.5 x 45 mm aluminum frame profile serves as the new base component, and the foundation of the new EcoSafe system.
Quick installation with prefabricated panels With the new frame profile, assembly teams can progress quickly, particularly when assembling linear safety fences. The next generation EcoSafe portfolio includes not only suspended panels but also “direct panels” that facilitate rapid assembly. Two adjacent direct panels are connected at the bottom using the new universal foot and at the top with a robust fixing cap, secured with just a few screws.
The new universal foot can accommodate two safety frame profiles (22.5 x 45 mm) or a standard profile (45 x 45 mm) and is anchored to the floor using two bolts, reducing the amount of required drilled holes. This innovation reduces installation time by approximately 40 percent. For non-linear arrangements, the base features a hinge function that allows for adjustable angles between the protective grilles.
Quick planning and digital engineering With Bosch Rexroth‘s free MTpro engineering software and the MTpro Online Designer, safety fences and other safety systems can be planned, calculated, and documented in just a few steps. The software facilitates automatic generation of order lists, easy exchange or printing of layout data, and direct transfer to the Rexroth Online Shop or partner companies, all of which contribute to significant time savings during the design process.
