A CNC Auto-Door, also known as an Automatic CNC Door, Auto Side-Door, or CNC Door Opener is a device that attaches to a CNC Machine that automatically opens and closes the machine doors, typically to allow an external automation system to carry out automated CNC Machine Tending. CNC Auto-Doors fall into two primary types: (1) Pneumatic CNC Auto-Doors, and (2) Servo-Driven CNC Auto-Doors.
Pneumatic or Air-Driven CNC Auto-Doors are typically far less expensive and easier to integrate. Servo-Driven Auto-Doors are typically more expensive but have slightly better safety interlock features. All of our Auto-Doors at Gimbel Automation are pneumatically-driven.
