How long does a guarding installation take?

The timeline for machine guarding installation depends on the complexity, quantity, and type of equipment involved. Most single-machine guarding projects can be completed in 1 to 5 days, while larger system-wide installations or those involving robotic cells, multiple interlocks, or programmable safety systems may take up to 2–3 weeks. Pre-planning, material readiness, and machine accessibility also impact duration.

At PowerSafe Automation, we streamline the installation process by using pre-engineered designs and modular guarding components. Our projects begin with a site assessment and design phase, followed by off-site fabrication of all guards and brackets to minimize on-site disruption. When it’s time for installation, our team works around your production schedule — including after-hours or weekend options — to avoid downtime.

Our trained technicians handle everything from mechanical mounting to wiring interlocks, testing emergency stops, and configuring safety relays or safety PLCs. We validate the entire system to ensure it meets OSHA and ANSI compliance, then provide documentation, schematics, and training for your staff.

Whether you need a quick retrofit or a full-scale upgrade, PowerSafe delivers efficient, professionally managed installations that prioritize both safety and productivity — helping you get back to full operation faster and safer.
