SCM Pro-Space

Pro-Space is a safety device newly introduced in 2011 for CNC-machining centres. The Pro-Space system is used in entry-level machines from the SCM-Group.

The Pro-Space system is based on highly space-saving bumpers. A restriction applies here according to the scope of validity of the CE ordinance, whereby the operating speed of the machine must not exceed a maximum 25 m/min.

In contrast to the usual bumper systems, the rear of the machine is also protected on simpler machines with low travel speeds, which ideally means that all protective fences can be omitted. This allows free access to the entire machine environment even while the machining programme is running.

For machines of higher performance classes such as the SCM ACCORD series, the Pro-Space system does not allow all-round access. However, the bumpers extend during machining, so that a greater braking distance without collision is possible in the event of contact, and thus also higher traversing speeds.

For even higher travel speeds, the Pro-Speed System is offered.
