Door Design Details

Dynatect has evolved the door design to combine the features of Aluminum Slat Doors and Gortite® Automated Machine Safety Doors (AMSD).

The “Type B” double-wall anodized aluminum slats feature a ball-and-socket style configuration that is both strong and light tight. This type of hollow aluminum semi-reflective extrusion serves as a functional light-tight heat-dissipating barrier. For larger doors, Dynatect may reinforce the integrity of the Aluminum Slat Door by adhering performance enhancing fabric to the non-laser side of the door.

Results from customer tests on the Aluminum Slat Door include: 6kW laser power, 1100mm defocus distance; burn-through time exceeds 100 seconds. (The testing was performed by a customer, not an independent lab).

Gortite Automated Machine Safety Doors feature modular base plates, header and legs specifically designed for large, fast, mission critical doors.

  • The legs feature guides that accept the Aluminum Slat Door to maintain a light-safe labyrinth. The Aluminum Slat Door is rolled up onto a drum in the header.
  • The base plates allow for free-standing door.
  • There are integrated T-slot channels on multiple surfaces to easily mount other components and/or safety considerations.
  • This technology includes a motor/gearbox/brake drive and non-contact travel-end sensors.
  • Options include LiDAR scanner (door auto-reverse), door closed safety interlock switch, and control systems.

Together these AMSD & Aluminum Slat Door features provide modular, economical, light-tight, secure, robust, and rapid doors ideal for laser applications.

  • Door travel speed up to 20” (50,8 cm) per second.
  • Door widths up to 12 feet (3,66 m), door height up to 10 feet (3.05 m).
  • No additional counterweights, tension springs, or hold-down switches are required.
