Deltalab opens heavy door for maintenance training

Deltalab, a manufacturer of educational workbenches, has launched Portel, a heavy door for use in industrial maintenance training.

It will be presented at the Worlddidac trade fair, which will be held in Basel from 29 to 31 October.

Portel is a heavy door for use in steelworks, hydroelectric dams, nuclear facilities, industrial hangars and banks, and is designed for maintenance training.

It is fitted with 3D design software models on SolidWorks, and features guidance systems, angle transfer, couplings, motorisation and safety devices.

It provides breakdown simulations and maintenance operations, and it makes studying improvements to the system easier.

The system enables users to diagnose breakdowns, prepare for operator actions, repair defective mechanical components (rack rails, sprockets, sliders, bearings, couplings and chains) and perform validated improvements (replacing the type of guidance, or installing a coupling limiter or biometric lock).

Portel is 1,280mm x 1,830mm x 2,200mm (height 3,010mm with the door open) and features a 2.2kW or 1.5kW geared motor, which is controlled by a programmable PLC with a variable speed driver.

The heavy aluminium door weighs 90kg, and the moving mass, which is adjusted via 20kg centrifugal weights acting as bricks, can reach up to 570kg.

It has an impregnable mechanical safety device and end sensors to control acceleration and deceleration.

All Portel workbench mechanical parts can be subjected to a maintenance operation (lubrication or replacement) or changed.

A modular surface extension allows the installation of kinematic components such as coupling limiters, toothed chain wheels and rolling chains, declutched angle transmissions and reduction gears with hand wheels.
