Quickly planned and easily assembled: With the new safety fence elements and user-friendly configurators, safety fences can now be realized quickly. These are designed in compliance with DIN EN ISO 14120 and can even be configured to withstand an impact of up to 767 joules—as verified through extensive testing.

The new Protection Fence System 8 consists of four configurable modules: complete panels, hanging elements, intermediate elements, and posts. The various modules can be combined as desired. For the panel fillings, steel mesh, wave mesh, and impact-resistant polycarbonate are available. The hanging elements are ideal for maintenance purposes when the fence needs to be opened. Intermediate elements are fixed, usually mounted between complete panels. Compatibility with the Item modular system enables integration with additional accessories such as signal lights, monitors, or sensors, which can be easily mounted in the groove.

The configuration of the safety fence can be done both in the online shop and in the Item Engineering Tool. In the online shop, the user selects the desired panel element, required load capacity, and enters the dimensions—the intelligent online software takes care of all further details. It calculates how many clamps, which profile cross-sections, and what setup are required to ensure the required load capacity. This guarantees that the safety fence panels comply with the relevant standards. The individually designed fence panels can be ordered directly from the shop and are delivered pre-assembled. Alternatively, further configuration and customization can be carried out in the Item Engineering Tool to create entire safety fences from the individual elements or to make adjustments to the design.

With Protective Fence 8, Item offers a standard-compliant solution that provides seamless protection for humans and machines. It is suitable, for instance, for enclosing machines as well as for delimiting robot cells and other sensitive areas. Thanks to preconfigured elements, easy assembly, and high flexibility.
