Fire protection for machine tools

The challenges

... in fire protection for machine tools are diverse and include various aspects.

  • High-performance drives: motors, transformers, power supply units, or relays can overheat due to continuous operation.
  • Short circuits: insulation faults or material fatigue can lead to sparking.
  • Electrical overload: overheated cables, defective terminals, or poor connections can lead to dangerous temperatures.
  • Sparking: metalworking generates sparks that can ignite flammable cooling lubricants or chips.
  • Tool breakage: in the event of tool breakage, metals rub against each other and generate dangerous temperatures.
  • Cooling lubricants : cooling lubricants containing oil can ignite at high temperatures.
  • Early fire detection: conventional smoke detectors are often unsuitable as they are affected by aerosols containing oil.
  • Ensuring business continuity: fires lead to long production downtimes and high costs.

    Automatic extinguishing systems with minimal residues (e.g. aerosol or gas extinguishing systems) are necessary.

A targeted fire protection concept for machine tools must include spark and temperature monitoring, suitable extinguishing systems, and regular maintenance. This is the only way to effectively prevent fires and protect machines and production processes.

Our fire extinguishing system: AeroPro

Integrate our AeroPro extinguishing system into your fire protection concept thanks to its IP65 classification!

Aerosol fire extinguishing systems can easily be integrated into machine tools. They can be configured with electronic, thermal, or pneumatic triggers and respond in seconds. The alarm is signalled with signal lights, acoustic signals, and activation of the fire alarm system.

In the event of a fire, AeroPro has a dual effect: it removes the oxidising agent from the fire and provides molecular cooling.
