The distance between the curtain pleats increases or decreases evenly across the entire curtain width when opening and closing.

Features:

  • Sturdy steel or aluminium support structure with integrated running surface made of abrasion-resistant plastic
  • Ball-bearing rollers with rubber coating move the side-guided scissors quietly over the rail
  • The scissor joints are mounted in maintenance-free Permaglide bushes
  • The scissor lift system has a modular design and can be configured for a Greek and/or Italian opening. In the case of a German opening and for inspection travel, the carrier is guided laterally on both sides
  • The drive is provided by a steel hoist cable, which is moved by a powerful geared motor positioned on the carrier
  • Thanks to their compact design, the drives can also be mounted on the girder with a shallow installation depth
  • The power of the geared motors is configured depending on the curtain weight and opening speed

In our sewing workshops, we make up FENCE with the fabric of your choice and according to your wishes.
