The box protection for ATM is a patented structure made in steel and composite materials thought to protect the ATM machines in the area of the strong box. Such a protection is able to avoid that pieces expulsed by the same ATM after a robbery attempt by means of an explosion, can damage the surroundings, (because of the explosion strength). Beside this protection will prevent thieves from reaching the currency kept inside the same ATM.
The degree of explosion protection has been tested according to the rules UNI EN 1143-1 “Means of Custody – Requirements, classification and test methods of resistance against burglary – Part 1: Strongboxes, strongboxes for ATM, door for armoured rooms and armoured rooms” such tests were made by a recognized and Authorized Board of Certification. The protection for ATM is composed by welded floor fixing structures made in steel. The floor fixing uses chemical resins (which can be replaced by tear-proof elements). These resins are complemented by a net of strips in composite materials able to allow a high resistance against a traction act and a cutting attempt. The degree of this resistance results to be undoubtedly higher than the action given by any steel cable with the same dimensions.
