With more than 70 years of expertise in the design of metal assemblies, our teams support industrial companies in developing robust, secure protection solutions that integrate perfectly with their equipment. <\/p>\n
What is a large-scale machine enclosure?<\/h2>\n
A machine enclosure is a protective structure designed to surround a machine, an industrial robot or a production line.
When it concerns large equipment or complex installations, it is referred to as a large-scale enclosure.<\/p>\n
These structures make it possible to:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
protect operators from projections, mechanical movements and machine-related hazards;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
contain emissions (noise, dust, cutting fluids, chip projections, etc.);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
secure access to automated work areas;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
ensure compliance with machine safety standards and industrial regulations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The enclosure can also incorporate access doors, inspection windows, ventilation systems, removable panels or maintenance devices to facilitate machine operation and maintenance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAn essential solution for robotic machine tools<\/h2>\n
In industrial sectors such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive and precision machining, robotic machine tools have become key production equipment.<\/p>\n
However, their operation often generates:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
chip or liquid projections,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
fast automated movements,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
work areas requiring enhanced protection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Large-scale machine enclosure therefore make it possible to create a safe environment around these installations while ensuring the accessibility required for maintenance and adjustments.<\/p>\n
A large-scale industrial enclosure project<\/h2>\n
Among the many projects carried out by LAVAYSSIERE teams, a custom enclosure was recently designed for a French industrial client.<\/p>\n
This protective structure, designed to equip a robotic machine tool, features significant dimensions:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
Height: 3.80 meters<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Width : 6 meters<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Depth : 6,80 meters<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The objective of this large-scale enclosure was to secure the working environment while ensuring optimal access to the equipment for production and maintenance operations.<\/p>\n
To meet these requirements, the LAVAYSSIERE teams mobilised their full expertise in mechanical design, industrial sheet metal fabrication and custom manufacturing.<\/p>\n
A project carried out from design to manufacturing<\/h2>\n
Each industrial enclosure project begins with an in-depth design phase.
In this particular case, the LAVAYSSIERE engineering department worked closely with the client to define:<\/p>\n- \n
- \n
integration constraints within the industrial environment,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
safety requirements,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
the access required for operators and technicians,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
the dimensions and characteristics of the machine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Once the design was validated, the production teams took over to ensure the complete manufacturing of the enclosure in our workshops.<\/p>\n
The various stages of the project required several industrial areas of expertise:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
precision laser cutting,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
bending of metal parts,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
welding and assembly of the structures,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
surface treatment and painting,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
trial assembly for technical validation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This assembly phase in the workshop is essential to verify the conformity of the entire system before shipment and to ensure rapid installation at the customer\u2019s site.<\/p>\n
Controlled international logistics<\/h2>\n
The enclosure was then partially dismantled to facilitate transport before being shipped to the United States.<\/p>\n
Thanks to a customed logistics organisation, the structure was transported by air to the final customer\u2019s production site, where it was installed to equip the robotic machine.<\/p>\n
This type of project illustrates LAVAYSSIERE\u2019s ability to support international industrial projects while ensuring quality, precision and on-time delivery.<\/p>\n
