A retractable welding screen extended across an industrial workspace to shield nearby workers from welding arc and spatter.

MODEL SB-9000

The SB-9000 The Retractable Welding Screen provides a space saving alternative to guards which rest on the floor. The safety guard is easily moved out of the way by the operator which allows material to be moved into and out of the work cell. This product is ideal where space is tight or you do not want the hassle of manually moving traditional large rigid guards. Like an old style window shade on its side, this industrial retractable weld guard has constant tension on the shade.

Collapses To Allow For Full Access

Easy Operation

The welding screen uses tension from the roller base to keep the guard tight.
The operator simply walks the guard from side-to-side of the work cell.
When it is time to move material into or out of the work cell, the operator unlatches the guard, and walks it back to the roller base.

FAQ

Are the welding shades replaceable?

Yes the welding shades are replaceable should they become damaged. You would simply contact AKON and we would provide you with directions and the replacement shade.

How do the shades attach to the opposing posts / wall?

They utilize a simple J-hook design. Each shade has an aluminum bar that is held in place by two J-Hooks using the tension force of the shade. These are attached to an adjacent post or you can attach them to any existing structure you currently have such as a vertical wall or steel columns.

Can we make any shape?

The unique benefit of this type of portable welding screen system is that almost any shape can be designed. You can form long straight welding walls or you can form multiple welding cells. It allows for flexibility in manufacturing for both personnel and robotic welding operations.

Can these be electrically interlocked so the machine they are guarding does not start until the shade is pulled shut?

As far as using safety interlocks and proximity switches that is something that you can do on site if you have a controls company or if you have a capable maintenance person working at your facility. We don't provide any of the electronic devices required to make that set up but it actually is fairly common with customers as a retrofit that they install. Customers typically do this so that they can make sure the curtain is pulled shut before the equipment starts working.
