In the world of system integration, the “commissioning crunch” is real. Your robots are programmed, the PLCs are wired, but the Site Acceptance Test (SAT) is stalled because the physical guarding isn’t finished. We eliminate the need for on-site welding and complex fabrication, cutting your perimeter installation time by up to 40%. |
The High Cost of the “Last Mile” in Automation Projects
For automotive system integrators and machine builders, the installation of 機械安全フェンス is often the final hurdle before a production line goes live. However, traditional fencing methods often create a bottleneck. Waiting for hot work permits to weld on-site, dealing with misalignment due to uneven concrete floors, or struggling to retrofit interlocks can delay the handover of a turnkey solution.
Our Mdfence system is engineered specifically to address these “last mile” inefficiencies. By shifting from fabrication to modular assembly, we help you meet aggressive project deadlines without compromising on ISO 14120 compliance.

1. Eliminating Hot Work Permits with Modular Anchoring
In an active automotive plant or a strictly controlled cleanroom environment, obtaining a hot work permit for welding is a bureaucratic nightmare that halts progress. Furthermore, welding damages existing epoxy floors and creates dust that can contaminate sensitive electronic components or sensors.
The Solution: The Mdfence system utilizes a fully bolted assembly. As shown above, our 60x60mm posts (approx. 2.36 inches) feature a welded base plate that anchors directly to the concrete using four M10 x 70mm expansion bolts. This mechanical anchoring system provides the necessary shear strength to withstand impact without a single spark being struck on site.
2. Streamlining Interlock Integration
A major pain point for electrical engineers during the installation phase is mounting safety switches. Drilling into hardened steel posts on-site to mount an Omron or Pizzato interlock is time-consuming and risks damaging the powder coating, leading to future corrosion.
The Solution: We treat the fence as part of the control system. Our ロボット安全フェンス includes pre-engineered “lock carrier” kits. These adapters allow for the seamless mounting of industry-standard safety switches directly to the door frame or post. This “plug-and-play” approach ensures that the mechanical and electrical teams can work in parallel, significantly reducing the time required to close the safety circuit.

3. Rapid Assembly of Complex Door Systems
In tight manufacturing cells, standard swing doors often interfere with AGV paths or operator walkways. However, installing complex sliding or folding doors usually requires precise alignment of overhead rails, which consumes valuable technician hours.
The Solution: Our door systems are modular. Whether you require a 産業用周辺警備 solution with a folding door for a large robot cell or a sliding door for a CNC loading station, the components are standardized. The guide rails, bearings, and stops bolt onto the standard posts. This means your team doesn’t need to be door specialists to install a smooth-running entry system.

4. The “Clip-and-Bolt” Workflow
The Mdfence design philosophy is centered on the installer. Traditional mesh often requires wrestling with clips and self-tapping screws. Our system uses a robust upper and lower fixing ring mechanism.
- Position: Slide the fixing ring onto the post.
- Snap: The framed mesh panel snaps into the “teeth” of the ring.
- Tighten: A single bolt secures the assembly.
This workflow allows a two-person crew to erect dozens of meters of fencing in a single shift, keeping your project schedule on track.
よくある質問
Q1: Can this system be modified if the robot cell layout changes during installation?
Yes. Because the system is modular and uses bolted connections (not welded), posts and panels can be unbolted and relocated. You can also swap a standard panel for a door module using existing posts if ingress points change.
Q2: Does the installation require specialized tooling?
No. The entire assembly can be completed with standard metric wrenches, an impact drill for the floor anchors, and a hex key set. No welding equipment or heavy lifting cranes are typically required for standard heights.
Q3: How do you handle installation on uneven factory floors?
The mounting brackets on the posts allow for vertical adjustability. This tolerance allows the mesh panels to remain level even if the concrete slab has minor undulations, ensuring the fence looks professional and functions correctly.
Q4: Is the system compatible with specific safety interlocks like Allen-Bradley or Keyence?
Yes. While we provide standard mounting kits, the flat surface of our 60mm posts and the framed structure of our doors provide a stable surface for mounting virtually any brand of non-contact switch, tongue interlock, or trapped key system.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for a standard perimeter project?
For standard components (2000mm height, standard mesh), we maintain stock to support rapid deployment. This is critical for system integrators who need to close out a project quickly to trigger final payment.
