SIDOOR
Automatic door control for machine tools

■
Overview
Door control system is the general term for a controller of
access systems.
The SIDOOR product family is primarily intended for the opera-
tion of sliding doors. These doors can be operated both horizon-
tally and vertically.
Door control systems are characterized by the fact that there are
always two defined states for the open and closed position of the
door.
The door is always checked, controlled and operated between
these positions according to the guidelines of the respective
application.
In a defined learn run via 1-button operation, the door system
independently determines the values for the door width, the
dynamic door weight and the drive direction of the geared motor
and stores these data in a non-volatile memory.

Design
The machine tool door drive is comprised of a controller and a
maintenance-free drive unit, the geared motors.
Controllers are electronic controllers connected to the power
supply via an external power supply unit (SIDOOR NT40,
SIDOOR Transformer). They are generally connected to the
higher-level controller via digital or fieldbus interfaces, and can
be configured via a user interface.
Various controllers for doors weighing up to 600 kg (1323 lb) are
available for machine tool doors.

Function
The safe functions - force limitation, energy limitation and end
position detection - fulfill the requirements according to
DIN EN ISO 13849-1:2008 for Category 2 and Performance
Level d. The drives are suitable for power-operated guards
according to EN 953:1997+A1:2009.
The geared motors are the maintenance-free drive unit of the
door drive. The geared motors are DC motors with non-self-lock-
ing gearing, and are speed-controlled. The set force and speed
limits are not exceeded.
Operation of the door drives listed here does not require a limit
switch. The door width and the "OPEN/CLOSED" positions are
determined automatically.
Forces are transferred via a toothed belt. The toothed belt
passes over a deflector pulley, and can be fitted with 2 clutch
holders. This enables it to drive both single-sided and centrally-
opening doors.
