Integrated Machine Safety Controls
Bring Safety to Legacy Machines
We combine modern safety expertise with creative engineering to design custom guarding systems for your outdated equipment. By integrating physical guards with advanced electronic safety devices and automation controls, we protect your operators while keeping production running smoothly and efficiently.
Intrinsic or HazLoc Safety Systems
Safety systems designed and rated for Class 1, DIV 1 or DIV 2 explosive environments. These systems protect workers and equipment by preventing electrical sparks and ignition sources in explosive environments.

Zero-Speed Detection Safety System
Zero-speed detection systems monitor machine motion and verify safe stops before granting operator access.
These systems prevent accidents by ensuring machinery has reached a safe, motionless state through electronic feedback monitoring before workers can enter hazardous areas or perform maintenance tasks.
Vertical Safety Doors
Vertical safety doors improve workspace accessibility while maintaining full safety protection. These space-saving doors integrate with safety controls to protect operators without compromising floor space or workflow efficiency.
Two-Hand Controls
Two-hand controls require operators to use both hands simultaneously to start machines, ensuring hands are safely away from hazardous areas during operation. Built-in anti-tie-down features prevent operators from bypassing the safety system.
Available with custom spacing, height adjustments, and mounting options.
Fluid Power Safety Systems
Pneumatic Safety Controls
Pneumatic safety controls protect operators by safely managing stored energy from compressed air systems and preventing unexpected machine motion during maintenance or operation.
Hydraulic Safety Controls
Hydraulic safety controls safeguard operators by regulating stored energy in pressurized systems, preventing system failures and unsafe motion that could cause injury.
Emergency Stop Devices
Pushbutton and Pull Cords
Wired emergency stop devices, which are energy isolation devices, not safety devices, are available in single or dual channel configurations. Options include standalone pushbutton boxes, pushbuttons integrated into control panels, and emergency rope pull devices that comply with ISO 13850 standards.
All devices include required labeling and hardware to provide immediate machine shutdown when activated.
Wireless E-Stop Controls
Wireless emergency stop devices provide mobile shutdown capability that moves with operators throughout the work area, ensuring immediate machine shutdown access for operator protection regardless of location.
Grip Enabling Switch
Grip enabling switches, also known as deadman or liveman switches, combine engineered solutions and admin controls to keep operators safe during maintenance or setup operations by automatically stopping machines when released or improperly held, ensuring continuous operator control.
Press Safety Systems
Press Brake Light Curtain
Laser and camera-based light curtains designed for point of operation or at the ram for material overbend protection create protective zones close to tooling that adjust as equipment moves. These systems protect operators from entering danger zones and immediately stop hazardous machine motion when breached.
Press Die Blocks with Safety Interlocks
Die blocks with safety interlocks secure press machines during maintenance by preventing accidental ram movement and protecting operators from crushing injuries.
Non-Safety Rated Support Devices
CNC Port Spin Window
CNC spin windows enhance operator safety and visibility by providing clear machine viewing outside guard doors while effectively containing chips and coolant spray.
Camera Monitoring System
Camera systems improve visibility and monitoring for operators in blind spots and hard-to-see areas, but do not replace certified safety devices required for personnel protection.
