A fresh look at online door cable systems
E-hinge offers a simple, safe and novel solution to Ethernet door cabling.
Antti Marine, the marine door division of Antti-Teollisuus, has built its reputation on marine doors and service-free hinges that stand above the competition in quality, safety and design. The latest addition to its range is e-hinge, an Ethernet-connected hinge riding a new wave of online door cabling. Standard Ethernet cable systems include a lead cover mounted into the door, with an exposed wire stretching from door to frame. E-hinge does things differently.
E-hinge takes the place of a standard hinge, making life simpler for builders and installers. Builders don’t need to worry about making modifications to the door during construction, meaning that the process can be fully standardised. This benefit is passed down to door installers, who can fit the door in minutes just by sliding it into place. E-hinge does away with the lead cover, saving weight within each hard-wired Ethernet- connected door.
Standard systems leave the cable exposed when the door is open, making them vulnerable to accidental damage, and even vandalism. Not so with e-hinge – once installed, the cable is protected within the frame. E-hinge is entirely hidden, so online access doesn’t come at the cost of style and aesthetic. This is perfect for luxury interiors. And because it simply replaces a standard hinge, it’s possible to upgrade by adding

multiple e-hinges per door. E-hinge offers a simple, safe and novel solution to Ethernet door cabling, and your passengers will never even know it’s there. That’s the elegance of e-hinge. “E-hinge is the safest and easiest way to get all the features of [an] existing online system, without the lead cover,” says Markko Takkinen, commercial director at Antti-Teollisuus. “It’s a completely hassle-free and invisible system.”

Cutting success
ways. Firstly, it prevents the unnecessary loss of nutrients and vitamins, as the cell structure of even the most delicate fruit and vegetables is barely affected, thanks to this biotechnological method. This gentle way of slicing raw food also helps it to stay fresher for longer, with an increased shelf life. Unlike other technologies, the products are not squeezed, so they retain their attractive appearance. Secondly, the driving force behind the drawing cut is the motor on the machine, which ensures a uniform, powerful rotation of the cutting discs. These discs are kept in motion by a positive-motion drive – known as a helical-toothed direct drive – and by gear wheels that mesh with each other in a planetary system. This results in a ninefold gear reduction and an increase in motor torque to 1,300Nm. The end result is a uniform, gentle cutting and chopping motion – something that has been evident for more than 50 years.
Brunner-Anliker’s GSM 5 precision-cutting machine.
Brunner-Anliker has the world’s most durable fruit and vegetable- cutting machine, featuring the famous ‘drawing cut’. The secret behind the success of Brunner- Anliker cutting machines can be found in the technology behind the drawing cut. This method recreates the drawing geometry that occurs when slicing manually. Specially designed blades and matching blade discs cut the product as if by hand – in succession, gently and without using much force. In contrast to cutting machines from other manufacturers, the extremely thin, high-precision, hand-ground blades prevent any heavy impact on the cut products. In addition to the cutting geometry of these razor-sharp blades, the quality of the disc material also plays a role in this gentle cutting method. The unique geometry of the drawing cut pays off in two

An architect’s dream
buildings and shipyard halls, the significance of the door solution should not be underestimated. A large door is a major decision that has long-term implications for the working conditions and productivity of the space. “We put a lot of time into making sure the door meets the customer’s real needs. We make strength calculations for each door to ensure that it meets the requirements of the conditions for the specific site. The calculations are then verified by an outside party on behalf of our customer,” says Baptiste de la Bouvrie, technical director at Champion Door. Many traditional door
Champion Door’s fold-up solutions save space and keep away heat and dust
Champion Door is an industrial door manufacturer with strong experience in international markets. The company’s main products include large vertical- lifting fabric fold-up doors for industrial use, multi-part fold-up doors for aircraft hangars, doors for crane opening, and harbour and shipyard doors. All doors are designed and manufactured to meet the client’s individual needs. When designing industrial
solutions and fabric door types are so heavy in construction that the architect must consider the door’s weight when planning the design of the entire building. “The door folds up when it opens, so there is no need to reserve any floor space for opening and the space can be used for other purposes. A lightweight door doesn’t need heavy structures to support it, so it can even save on construction costs,” de la Bouvrie explains. Fabric lift doors are often used in the Nordic countries, as heat stays inside and snow and moisture stay outside. In hot conditions, the tightness of the fabric fold-up door keeps heat, sand and dust away from the building. “Champion Door’s fabric fold-up doors are easy to use, reliable and require minimal maintenance. Reliability and longevity significantly reduce the lifecycle cost of a door,” says de la Bouvrie.
Doors can also easily be tailored to an individual client or designer’s needs. “The door can be made with a company logo or any design. Of course, we have our limitations, but we always do our best to make the building designer happy,” he says.
