Window drive including Mayser anti-trap protection: WindowMaster scores with package offer

The initial situation

The automated opening and closing of windows is one of the central elements of an intelligent facade. Automation increases the efficiency of natural ventilation, but also emphasises the need for personal safety. The aim is to completely eliminate the risk of entrapment when closing the windows: for the Swiss subsidiary WindowMaster Focair AG, this is a clear case for Bachofen.

Project requirements

Bachofen’s solution

Personal protection during the automatically triggered closing of windows is a top priority for WindowMaster. In the case of low, easily accessible windows, the safety elements even have to fulfil the relevant requirements of the Machinery Directive. In Bachofen, the company has a partner with expertise in safety technology at its side. And they have been working together successfully for over ten years. WindowMaster has also had good experience with the safety edges from Bachofen’s technology partner Mayser. These not only fulfil all safety requirements. They also offer WindowMaster the option of offering the window drives together with anti-trap protection as a package – a clear competitive advantage for the indoor climate specialist. The anti-trap protection reacts immediately on contact and stops the closing movement of the window to effectively prevent accidents.

«The coordinated safety system of the safety edge and our chain drives offers optimum protection and can be used and combined flexibly. »
