Overview
Our removable panel bracket system utilizes FATH’s Safety Hanger 8/8 set (Part # 093WH400808), engineered to provide a quick, secure and compliant method of mounting and removing safety fence or guard panels within machine-safety and automation environments. The system supports profile slot size 8 mm and is designed with a gap distance of 12-26 mm between frame and panel, making it ideal for modular machine-guarding enclosures, access doors and removable safety barriers. +1
Key Features & Benefits
- Rapid removable mounting: The bracket set supports quick removal and re-installation of protective panels, enabling fast access for maintenance or tooling change-over without sacrificing guarding integrity.
- Modular compatibility: Designed for slot size 8 in aluminum profile systems (Profile I) — simplifies integration into existing modular frames. +1
- Robust materials:
- Hanger, supporting hook and supporting angle: steel (zinc-plated)
- Countersunk screws: stainless steel
- T-slot nuts: steel (zinc-plated) +1
- Designed for guard panel spacing: Supports a gap (clearance) of 12-26 mm, enabling proper mounting tolerance while ensuring panel stability. FATH24
- Complete kit for ease of installation: The set includes 2 hangers with safety pin fastening, 2 supporting hooks, 2 supporting angles, 12 M8×16 countersunk screws (DIN 7991) with pin, and 12 T-slot nuts – providing everything needed for two panel anchor points. Easy Systems
- Supports standard compliance: Using quality hardware and defined tolerances helps maintain the robustness of the guarding system, supporting machine safety policies and guarding integrity.
Applications
- Machine-guarding frames where safety fence or mesh panels need to be removed regularly (e.g., for servicing, tooling change, inspection)
- Modifiable enclosures or access doors on production, stamping, robotic or material-handling cells
- Situations where dynamic re-configuration is required (e.g., flexible manufacturing lines) and remountable panels are advantageous
- Upgrades or expansions of existing aluminum profile machine-guarding systems where fast access and re-mounting matter
Installation & Engineering Notes
- Mount the hangers to the profile slot (slot size 8) using the provided T-slot nuts and M8 countersunk screws.
- Ensure the panel gap falls within the 12-26 mm allowance to guarantee proper seating and retention of the hanger system.
- Use the supporting hooks and angles to bear the load of the panel and prevent sag or misalignment when mounted.
- Tighten all hardware to manufacturer’s torque specifications; verify panel stability and drop distance after installation.
- If integrated with safety-interlocked doors or movable panels, coordinate the bracket location and clearances with the safety switch or sensor positioning.
- Document the installation as part of the machine guarding record, noting part number 093WH400808 for traceability and maintenance.
