Space needed for the door
Safety distance
The door must be placed in front of the machine/machines in such a way that the safety distance is fulfilled. The
standard EN ISO 13855 ”Safety of machinery – Positioning of safeguards with respect to the approach speeds of
parts of the human body” gives the requirements especially for trip devices but could also be used as guidance
when installing a Safety Roller Door. The installer has the responsibility to place the Safety Roller Door with such
distance that all moving parts are stopped in a safe way when the operator reaches them.
Important safety information
When the door is mounted in front of a machine and the operator can pass the door and go into the machine, the
door must be prevented from being closed and the machine being started while the operator is inside the machine
area. One way of doing this, is to install a horizontal light curtain/s to protect the area/s where the operator can
stand in the machine. Another way of securing that nobody is inside the risk area, when the door is to be operated
downwards, is by timed reset. A facility like this is not a part of door and has to be ordered separately. Contact ABB/
JOKAB Safety for more information.
If the door is going to be used as control guard it must be installed according to the requirements in EN 953 “Safety
of machinery – General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards” (see clause
5.4.9).
