A Firetrace system can be fitted to virtually any CNC or EDM machine and will automatically detect and extinguish a fire inside the machine before it can cause appreciable damage. Upon detection of a fire, the system discharges either CO2 or ‘clean' extinguishing agents such as Dupont FM-200© or 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid. These gaseous extinguishing agents are non-conductive, non-corrosive, leave no residue on the machine or work place, and will not contaminate expensive metal working oils or fluids.

At the heart of every Firetrace system is the unique, pressurised red Firetrace Detection Tubing. This proprietary polymer tubing is actually a linear pneumatic heat sensor that ruptures when exposed to a fire's radiant heat. The flexible detection tubing can be easily routed in and around the hazard areas of a CNC or EDM machine, providing fast and reliable fire detection in areas that other detection methods cannot reach.

Because Firetrace detects and suppresses a fire at its source - inside the machine - the system reacts far faster than traditional fire suppression methods, and reduces or eliminates the collateral damages that they cause. In many cases a machine can be returned to service just minutes after a fire.
