The May Day holiday is coming soon. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, are you friends already ready to \”give up\” your love for work and run away from home?

But don’t worry, because today is also a very important holiday for us workers——World Safety and Health Day!

Safety Production and Health Day

In 2001, the International Labor Organization officially designated April 28 as the \”World Safety and Health Day\” and as an official commemoration day of the United Nations. The International Labor Organization firmly believes that work-related accidents and diseases. It can and indeed should be prevented, and action must be taken in all countries around the world and at every corporate level to achieve this goal

As a long-established door product family company from Europe, Hörmann Group has always regarded protecting the safety of personnel as a very important product development principle. So today Let’s take a look at the designs on Hörmann’s products that are related to ensuring production safety.

Whether it is an industrial sectional door, a garage door, a roller shutter door or a high-speed door, the current mainstream industrial factory doors generally adopt a vertical opening and closing design. The benefits of this design are obvious, and the size can be very large. At the same time, making full use of the gravity of the door panel itself and the power provided by the motor can easily open and close the door.

Of course, in order to ensure that the automatic door is foolproof during operation, designers will also do a lot of potential failure mode analysis during research and development, screen out those situations that may be dangerous, and configure comprehensive protection in a targeted manner. Measures.

1. Obstacle monitoring function in the closing direction. When closing the door, once the door panel contacts an obstacle, the door will automatically change direction to avoid continuous downward squeeze. Hörmann effectively solves the problem of closing the door through the built-in closing force detection and infrared photoeye device of the electronic control system. Risk of extrusion in the direction

2. Infrared grating protection function.For some automatic doors that open quickly and frequently, it is very necessary to sense obstacles and take protective measures in advance. This is when our infrared grating comes on stage.

The infrared grating will form a light curtain under the door panel. People or cars passing through it will be detected and can be triggered without contact. The safety factor is very high.

As doors used in modern factories and logistics warehouses, the service life of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times is a severe test for every component of the door.

Hörmann industrial doors are equipped to the teeth with regard to anti-fall protection. Industrial automatic doors are a set of precision-coordinated system equipment, and Hörmann has carefully implemented anti-fall protection in many key parts. Design.

Even if there is a problem with some parts, these mechanical protection devices will lock the door panel in place until maintenance personnel come to troubleshoot the fault, without the risk of loss of control.

After preliminary investigation, the cause of the fire was due to the internal renovation construction of the hospital\’s inpatient department. The sparks generated during the operation ignited the volatile materials of the flammable paint on site, but the reason for so many casualties may be more than that.
