A common way of designing a large machine guard using aluminium profile, is to make the main frame members out of 80x40mm section or larger, with hinged doors of 40x40mm profile mounted flush This gives a handy groove in the frame behind the doors, allowing the mounting of catches, door stops, safety switches, etc

Modular aluminium jigs speed sub-assembly build
One of the worlds' leading helicopter manufacturers, have accelerated helicopter sub-assembly throughput by using an aluminium profile system-build jigging system.
Quite frequently, on grounds of either cost, space or even just what material is to hand, people build both main frame and door frame out of 40x40mm section, making the mounting of ancillaries that bit more awkward.
Item have introduced a very neat Magnetic Door Stop.
This comprises a folded steel plate that provides strength, even for quite large doors.
This plate is neatly concealed behind a plastics moulding which bolts neatly in the narrow gap between door and frame, and incorporates a lead-in for the door.
A steel striker is secured to a T-slot at the rear of the door, and is easily positioned to suit the magnet mounted in the rear of the stop.
The magnet is cushioned so that even if the door is slammed shut, it does so without damage.
The Magnetic Door Stop thus incorporates in one unit the functions of door stop, cushion and catch.
They are available ex-stock from Machine Building Systems of Ripley, Derbyshire, UK. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
