Description D-FENCE by FPT Industrie is a dual-workspace machine-guarding system designed to split a single machining station into two independently accessible zones. It enables operators to perform part setup and preparation in one zone while machining continues in the other, improving machine uptime and workflow efficiency.
Operation and integration D-FENCE interfaces directly with the machine CNC and synchronizes its movements with machine operations. Coordinated motion control allows dynamic modulation of work zones in real time. The mechanical structure includes quick-locking mechanisms for reliable, fast changeovers and seamless integration with modern machine tool architectures, particularly mobile-column designs.
Key features- Dual-space guarding system creating two independent work zones.
- Full integration with machine CNC and automatic movement synchronization.
- Real-time dynamic modulation of machining zones.
- Robust mechanical frame with quick-locking mechanisms for rapid setups.
- Optimized for mobile-column machine tools to support simultaneous machining and setup.
Benefits- Increases machine uptime by enabling parallel setup during machining.
- Boosts production throughput by reducing idle times.
- Maintains high operator and process safety through physical separation and synchronized control.
- Improves operational efficiency and reduces overall cycle downtime.
Typical applications- Series manufacturing and batch production where reducing setup time is critical.
- Workshops with mobile-column machines that benefit from physical separation of work zones.
- Environments requiring CNC-coordinated movement for safe zone transitions.
