Machine roof covers consists of large, self-supporting bellows equipped to glide on a rail system. Roof covers were first developed for large CNC gantry machines, but have been adapted to other applications requiring a moveable, low-friction cover. The bellows folds are constructed from translucent, high-strength material and attached to lightweight support beams with low-friction guide blocks and precision bearings.
Do your production processes generate dust or small particles?
If your machine has excessive dust or noise from machining of carbon fiber, wood & other materials, Dynatect can produce a large-scale machine roof cover bellows, designed to glide smoothly on existing rails, helps to reduce noise and traps dust.
Key Features:
Capable of over 1G acceleration; 60 meter/minute velocity
Capable of over 10:1 extended-to-retracted length ratio
Translucent covers protect environment from dust and provide noise attenuation
Large self-supporting span with minimal deflection up to 30 ft. (9.144 m)
Configurable to almost any rail or way system
Individually replaceable folding section
Choice of standard or inverted fold direction
Roof Cover Design:
Material – translucent bellows using polyurethane TPE with high-strength monofilament polyester
Support structure – lightweight aluminum with low-friction plastic guide blocks and precision bearing rollers to minimize energy consumption
Cover Construction – variable fold depth and folding direction (standard or inverted) provides necessary clearances
Dynatect’s retractable machine roof cover contains debris and noise during machining of large aerospace parts. The translucent cover material allows light to enter the work area.
Custom Machine Door & Roof Cover
Motorized industrial machine door and machine rooftop cover manufactured by Dynatect. This custom assembly is for a robotic welding cell. The door covers an opening that is 25 feet wide, 15 feet tall, and 16 feet deep.
Machine Roof Cover Installation at Diversified Machinery Systems
Roof covers are a large, self-supporting span, with minimal deflection. They are configurable to almost any rail or way system. Roof covers provide containment of dust and noise attenuation.

Standard Fold Direction (Peaks below rail)
Inverted Fold Direction (Peaks above rail) – may be used where there is an obstruction along travel path
Standard Clearance Requirements:
Upper Clearance From Top of Rail (See dimension ‘B’):
1.83” [46 mm] for standard fold direction
9.67” [246 mm] for inverted fold direction
Lower Clearance From Top of Rail (see dimension ‘C’):
Heavy-duty covers: 12.65” [321 mm] for standard fold direction, 3.33” [85 mm] for inverted fold direction
Light-duty cover: 11.65” [296 mm] for standard fold direction, 2.33” [60 mm] for inverted fold direction
