What are you guarding?

Thirteen systems in the range. Start from the thing you need to make safe and we will take you to the one built for it.

Automated robotic arms working behind Troax machine guarding in a high-tech industrial manufacturing facility

A robot cell or automated line

Fast to install and fast to take apart when the cell moves. Smart Fix, tested to 2,100 J.

A heavy impact or vehicle zone

Where forklifts and heavy parts are in play. Strong Fix ST30, tested to 6,000 J.

A conveyor or transfer point

Guarding shaped around the run rather than boxed around it. Belt Conveyor Guarding.

Built to come apart

Cells get moved and lines get rebalanced. Troax panels, posts and doors are designed to be taken apart and rebuilt around a changed layout, so a reconfiguration does not mean scrapping the guard. How fast that goes depends on the fixing system, which is what the figures below measure.

 

Strong Fix ST30: Impact: 6,000 J. Test: 238 kg at 25 km/h

Smart Fic ST20: Impact 2100 J. Test: 134 kg at 20 km/h

Rapid Fix ST20: Impact: 1600 J. Test: 100 kg at 20 km/h

 

Pendulum tested in the Troax Test Center. The test methods are certified by TÜV Rheinland, an independent institute.

Watch the tests

Before you specify

Yes, in most cases. Panels can be fixed to racking uprights or floor mounted and stood independently, depending on the layout and what the racking is rated to carry. Send us your layout and we will confirm the fixing method before you order.

Panels have a 20x100mm mesh aperture to coincide with the machinery directive and safety distances. Panels are 2050mm high. This enables machine guarding to be bult with a 150mm floor gap. We also offer half height panels at 1250mm high with a 150mm floor gap (1400mm overall). We can make panels to any size if required with extended lead time and cost.

We offer both modular and bespoke. Longer lead time for bespoke.

Currently we stock standard colours in the UK. Standard colours stocked in Sweden have a typical lead time 2-3 weeks.

Grey RAL 7037 / Black RAL 9005 for panels and Grey RAL 7037 and Yellow RAL 1018 for posts. Other Swedish standard colours available from the factory on a 2 – 3 week lead time, with all other RAL references available but on request.

We offer an installation service for all of our products. You can also install yourself.
