1 PRESS RELEASE dated R+T 2018 ( ) ift-special exhibition Comfort + Safety of Gates, automatic doors and shading devices are leading the way in terms of automatic drives and controls for the construction industry. This entails additional requirements such as functional and electric safety, which must be taken into account during planning and tendering. However, also fire safety and burglar resistance as protection against industrial espionage and high material assets are more current than ever. Therefore, the ift special exhibition Comfort + Safety in Stuttgart from is presenting at the R+T world's leading trade fair for roller shutters, gates and sun protection (stand 10D31), what construction elements and their components can do today, how the requirements have to be checked and how the quality can be ensured. This will be complemented by a lecture forum that is organised together with the BVT. Digitization is entering each area of life, whether in the car, in the office, in production or in the private sector. Wifi, internet as well as smartphones have conquered our home - now, hardware will be next. Functional doors and gates in industry, airports or hotels have a pioneering role. Here, the latest technology is used at first, before it is used also in simpler buildings. The special exhibition Comfort + Safety focuses on the presentation of security and quality characteristics of automatic doors and gates. At the same time, these are also machines according to the machinery directive and are subject to specific safety requirements. This also applies if they are put together from assemblies on site. Particular focus is on the planning and design of the drive units and controls as well as the on burglar resistance and Figure 1 Important properties of electrically driven construction elements (doors, gates and venetian blind, etc.) Please send voucher copy to ift Rosenheim The Institute for Windows and Facades Doors and Gates Glass and Building Materials Theodor-Gietl-Straße Rosenheim PR & Communication Author: Jürgen Benitz-Wildenburg Phone: +49 (0) Fax: +49 (0) benitz@ift-rosenheim.de ift hi d, Germany
