Double safety device for double saws
With around two million visitors, the State Garden Show in Schwäbisch Gmünd set a new record in 2014. Some of its attractions have remained, including a functional sculpture. It consists of a tree handsaw and a circular saw and is designed as play equipment. Various machine elements from ACE are installed to prevent accidents.

Shock absorbers protect safety valves in refinery
Overpressure in refinery pipes can lead to catastrophic consequences. In the event of overpressure, safety valves must therefore be opened in fractions of a second. Neither electric actuators nor pneumatic actuators are an option here. The Doedijns Group and ACE shock absorbers have developed a customized solution.
