Roll Up Welding Curtain Benefits

• Limits exposure to UV radiation.
• flexibility for changing welding cell needs.
• Takes up less space than anchored cells.
• Reduces material flow congestion.
• Connect up to 4 shades to a single post.
• Allows for access of overhead cranes.

Roll Up Safety Guard Benefits

• Heavy duty steel posts can roll around.
• Used for TIG, stick, and MIG welding.
• Shades can be replaced if damaged.

Do you need to fill the base with cement?
Any shade that is wider than 8' to 10' would require weight to be added to the base pan. Some customer's use cement and others use steel or other heavy objects.
 
Are the mobile welding shades hard to move?
No they are very easy to move around your shop. Simply tilt the shades backwards and then roll them into place using the industrial casters that are attached at the base.
 
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.
