Specification

Keep Your Welding Cells Flexible

The welding roll up curtains are lightweight, durable, and are portable so they can be moved to anywhere some welding is to be done. With an integrated design, transportation and installation is very easy and quick. As the mobile welding screens are designed to be entirely free-standing. Almost any cell configurations can be constructed from them. The wheels installed on the pedestal base make it very to transport without much effort.

With the use of the roll up welding curtains you have the ability to move your welding curtains to the location where welding is taking place. With a modular design, portability and setup are quick and easy. Completely free-standing design allows for almost unlimited cell configurations. The vertical pedestals are easy to transport to different work areas via the wheels on the base of the pedestals.

FAQ

Do you need to fill the base with cement?
Any shade that is wider than 8' to 10' would require weight to be added to the base pan. Some customer's use cement and others use steel or other heavy objects.

Are the mobile welding shades hard to move?
No they are very easy to move around your shop. Simply tilt the shades backwards and then roll them into place using the industrial casters that are attached at the base.

Are the welding shades replaceable?
Yes the welding shades are replaceable should they become damaged. You would simply contact AKON and we would provide you with directions and the replacement shade.

How do the shades attach to the opposing posts / wall?
They utilize a simple J-hook design. Each shade has an aluminum bar that is held in place by two J-Hooks using the tension force of the shade. These are attached to an adjacent post or you can attach them to any existing structure you currently have such as a vertical wall or steel columns.

Can we make any shape?
The unique benefit of this type of portable welding screen system is that almost any shape can be designed. You can form long straight welding walls or you can form multiple welding cells. It allows for flexibility in manufacturing for both personnel and robotic welding operations.

Can these be electrically interlocked so the machine they are guarding does not start until the shade is pulled shut?
As far as using safety interlocks and proximity switches that is something that you can do on site if you have a controls company or if you have a capable maintenance person working at your facility. We don't provide any of the electronic devices required to make that set up but it actually is fairly common with customers as a retrofit that they install. Customers typically do this so that they can make sure the curtain is pulled shut before the equipment starts working.
