MACHINE PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Duplet, bellows with additional protection from metal sheets

As the inventor of bellows Arnold gathered extensive knowledge about the machine protection systems. Through extensive research we found that in cases of heavy chip occurence an additional protection for bellows made from technical fabric would significantly increase their function and service life. Arno Arnold therefore developed the Duplet solution - bellows with additional telescopic sheets, which serve as additional sealing on the machine processing side and wipe off accumulating chips and dirt.

Properties:

Reliable combination of stitched or liquid-tight welded bellows with stainless steel telescopic sheets
Use of synthetic and natural technical fabrics with application specific high-performance coatings
High variety of possible shapes (angles, box shapes, etc.) and designs (hinged and rigid sheets)

Advantages for our customers:

Highly proven, reliable system that can be tailored to individual customers’ needs incl. complex contours
Perfect sealing against chips, dust and liquids – even in the most complex shapes
Controlled extension limitation through patented "QuickStep” system
Increased pre-tension through patented system, ensuring good sealing of metal sheets

Strapano, our flexible and reliable protective cover system

Strapano is characterised by a particularly high resistance against hot and sharp-edged chips. The pre-tension of the sheets can be customised, subject to our customers’ requirements. Strapano covers are available in many geometric shapes. They are extremely versatile and have been proven to work in all shapes such as wings, winglets, roof covers or louvres. But especially in walls made of protective covers in different levels (Fix&Finish protective cover system), the Strapano superstructure impresses with its many advantages. The combination of material and geometry ensures a very long service life. Any extension or lengthening of the cover is possible due to both the modular design and the tool-free assembly and disassembly of all components.

Properties:

Very good sealing of telescopic sheet surfaces in the working area, with pre-tension specifically adaptable to the specific application
Patented, service-friendly design thanks to tool-free assembly that also allows for easy replacement of individual telescopic sheets
Very reliable system that can be applied in almost any installation position

Advantages for our customers:

Stacking height of the compressed protective cover (Lmin) reduced by up to 30% compared to conventional bellows with metal sheets, enabling larger strokes in smaller installation spaces
High machining precision due to weight savings compared to conventional bellows and improved sealing of the sheets in the working area
Most versatile, proven protective cover system that can be used in most forms and in combination with other systems

Slimcover

Slimcover, our sustainable space miracle

Slimcover is our latest, ground-breaking innovation in flexible protective covers for machine tools. The flexible metal sheet cover is our most space efficient and sustainable solution for machine protection yet. Slimcover enables excellent use of installation space, thanks to a significantly improved compression per fold and a small mounting depth. Application-specific adjustment of pre-tension ensures reliable sealing against chips and smooth operation. Its innovative modular structure allows for single variety separation and recycling of components in addition to a sustainability-driven reduction of material usage.

Schutzabdeckung gegen Spähe Slimcover

Properties:

Advantages for our customers:

Highly flexible, modular combination of metal sheets and synthetic performance material
Innovative mounting technology (patent pending) for easy dismantling of components
Application-specific adjustment of pre-tension in design process

Up to 60% reduced Lmin/ fold compared to conventional bellows with metal sheets
Very small mounting/ installation depth where space is constrained
High resistance to chips, dirt and even liquids through uniform pre-tension
Easy dismantling of components and on-site repair without tools
Single variety separation and recycling of components possible

Arnopure

Arnopure, pure machine protection performance

Arnopure perfectly balances protective function with smooth operation and long service life. The design of this protective cover more than halved the space required in retracted state, compared to a traditional protective covers with metal sheets, when introduced. The more efficient use of available space enables significant advantages and potential savings in machine design, even far beyond the savings achieved by employing our cost-effective ArnoPure solution.

Platzsparende Schutzabdeckung ArnoPure

Properties:

Highly flexible, modular combination of metal sheets and synthetic performance material
Constant, uniform contact pressure that is independent of relevant stroke
Adhesive-, weld- and rivet-free combination of materials for easy dismantling/ recycling

Advantages for our customers:

Up to 50% reduced Lmin/ fold compared to conventional bellows with metal sheets
Reduced dead weight enables low resistance and quick acceleration
High resistance to dirt, sharp-edged and hot chips
Easy dismantling of components and on-site repair without tools
Single variety separation and recycling of components at the end of its service life

Inexpensive variant

Compared to telescopic steel covers, arnopure has all the advantages as a bellow with stainless steel sheets, but is a lighter solution and, above all, more cost-effective alternative that can be used in many installation scenarios, especially with high demanding milling machines, and can be retrofitted if necessary.

ELEGANO® protective covers

Elegano, the lean cover solution

The very slim ELEGANO® protective covers made of telescopic sheets achieve an exceptionally small Lmin when compressed. Compared to commercially available covers, the Lmin is reduced by approx. 50%. In addition, the construction depth, in the dimension perpendicular to the direction of movement, is reduced by up to 15 mm. ELEGANO® protective covers have many advantages: The masses to be moved are very low and the pre-tension on the scraper lip of the telescopic sheet is only generated when required. This increases the acceleration of the axes that can be reliably achieved in the process, improves the milling result and saves energy. The telescopic plates are pressed on evenly and form a closed, dense surface. Hot and sharp-edged chips are reliably wiped off.
