Active Tilt Safety Interlock for Industrial Overhead Doors
Cables wear unevenly. Tracks shift. Frames settle. These conditions develop invisibly over weeks and months — until the door fails catastrophically.
CrashAxis continuously monitors door tilt and stops operation before damage occurs.

Keep it simple."

What Other Safety Devices Miss
Detects Failures Developing — Not Just Failures That Have Arrived
Photo-eyes and edge detectors stop doors when people or obstacles are in the way.
CrashAxis stops doors when the door itself is unsafe — catching cable wear,
track misalignment, and structural issues before catastrophic failure.
Our gravity-aligned dual-sensor system provides continuous tilt monitoring with an active safety interlock that physically prevents operation when limits are exceeded.

Watch CrashAxis in Action
Real-Time Tilt Detection Stops a Door Mid-Operation
A minor misalignment — simulated by debris under the door — triggers the interlock
and halts the bifold door mid-cycle, showcasing sub-second response times
that safeguard lives and assets.
Real-World Impact
Turn Potential Disasters into Scheduled Maintenance
Catastrophic door failures don't appear overnight. Cable wear, track misalignment,
and frame issues develop gradually. CrashAxis detects these conditions developing
and stops the door before failure — turning emergencies into work orders.
⏱ Prevent Downtime
Track misalignment and cable wear develop over weeks. CrashAxis catches increasing tilt trends before catastrophic failure.
👷 Protect Your Team
Derailments, jams, and collapses happen when doors operate misaligned. The interlock prevents operation under unsafe conditions.
📈 Enable Predictive Maintenance
Replace reactive "fix what breaks" with data-driven scheduling based on actual conditions and cycle counts.
The Platform
Industrial Door Fleet Intelligence
Every door, every component, every cycle — monitored, tracked, and analyzed.
📡
Live Telemetry
Real-time tilt, velocity, and vibration data from every equipped door. Know the exact state and health of your fleet at a glance.
⚙️
Component Tracking
Every cable, bearing, gearbox, and track has its own service history. Cycle-based and calendar-based scheduling — whichever comes first.
🔬
Predictive Analysis
Detect cable stretch, track misalignment, velocity degradation, and wind loading events before they become failures.
🎫
Issue Reporting
Anyone can report anomalous sounds or behavior with a single tap. Full ticket lifecycle keeps everyone informed.
🔒
Safety Interlock
CrashAxis physically stops door operation when tilt exceeds safe limits. Integrates directly with your existing controller.
📱
QR Door Access
Every door gets a QR sticker. Scan to see status, maintenance history, and report issues. No app required.
Platform Access
$100 / door / year
First 3 months free on every door. Includes fleet management,
component tracking, ticketing, and telemetry dashboard access.

Interlock hardware sold separately. Platform works with or without real-time telemetry.
OEM Integration & Licensing
Offer CrashAxis as a Factory-Installed Option
Door manufacturers and system integrators can offer CrashAxis as a factory-installed safety option
or retrofit kit. Non-exclusive licensing lets you differentiate with patent-pending
tilt safety technology. White-label opportunities available.
