Bosch Rexroth's easily assembled, cost-efficient panels now bear higher loads thanks to a new profile design.

A slim, yet stable, 22.5 x 45 mm aluminum frame profile serves as the new base component and the foundation of Bosch Rexroth’s new EcoSafe system. With the new frame profile, assembly teams can progress quickly, particularly when assembling linear safety fences. The next generation EcoSafe portfolio includes not only suspended panels but also “direct panels” that facilitate rapid assembly. Two adjacent direct panels are connected at the bottom using the new universal foot and at the top with a robust fixing cap, secured with just a few screws. The new universal foot can accommodate two safety frame profiles (22.5 x 45 mm) or a standard profile (45 x 45 mm) and is anchored to the floor using two bolts, reducing the amount of required drilled holes. This innovation reduces installation time by approximately 40 percent. For non-linear arrangements, the base features a hinge function that allows for adjustable angles between the protective grilles.
