Automated Lifting Gates

SSP's automated lifting gates are the ideal solution for the separation between protected areas. They are mainly used in interlinked robot systems. Thus, when opened, the robots can work together, e.g. hand over workpieces. When closed, access to a single protected area is enabled without shutting down the second area.

The movable part of the partition wall is equipped with a Makrolon filling, which reliably protects against flying sparks, for example in welding robots, but still allows process monitoring. The safety switch keeps the lifting gate securely closed in the end position, thus enabling small safety clearances.

Activation is carried out via an I/O link, which can be configured, or via a profisafe interface. The counterweights allow the use of a motor with reduced driving force and prevent the gate from falling. This significantly reduces the risk of shearing and crushing. The lift gate and components are delivered fully assembled, pre-wired, tested and configured. In this way, the gate only has to be activated. A final quality test is done on each lifting gate before delivery.
