Machine Perimeter Guarding

**Modular Machine Enclosures**
Custom machine guarding with t-slotted extrusion framing using wire mesh and/or polycarbonate panels to reduce hazards at access points.

**Steel Process Guarding**
Guarding designed for weld and scarf machines, Haven feed rollers and conveyors, stackers and bundlers, rolling mills, blankers, and turn styles.

**Payoff and Take-up Guarding**
Custom guarding solutions for your uncoilers or payoffs and recoilers or take-ups to include access doors, safety light curtains, and/or safety laser scanners.

**Robotic Perimeter Guarding**
Steel fencing or t-slotted aluminum framing with wire mesh panels to create the robotic cell guarding preventing interaction between robot and human.

**Consumer Products Guarding**
Framing, tubing, and panels with electronics specific to the harsh environment characteristics and standards used in washdown and sanitary required areas.

**Palletizing Safety Systems**
Integrated safety system for palletizers, robotized areas, assembly lines, automatic punch/shear machines to reduce the risk of people vs machine speed.

**Industrial Sound Enclosures**
Custom sound enclosure with noise dampening materials, temperature controls, ventilation, and lighting to help mitigate hearing conservation concerns.

**Hazardous Chemical Enclosures**
Modular enclosure to contain hazardous chemicals, partnered with a stack test environmental firm to minimize human exposure to health risks.

Electronic Safety Guarding

**Laser scanners** programmable to scan hazardous areas in a 2D, 190 degree radius plane to prevent foot traffic in a blind spot or danger zone.

**Safety Light Curtains -** Designed with safety relays providing redundancy & easy access to machine with signal stops.

Custom sized **Safety Mats and Edgeguards** specific to provide the proper access guarding to workers with a physical presence to alert operations zone.

**Trapped-Key Interlock System** - a system of keys from a device to a door lock used with a safety relay eliminating field wiring at each access point.

**Safety Enclosure** contains safety relay/controller, power supply, reset switch & any other safety devices required as a central safety control panel.

Category Level vs. Performance Level

High Safety Ratings

The e-safety devices we spec and use achieve up to a category 4 safety rating with the use of a safety relay or safety controller giving you a machine guard rated for the highest level of safety. This ensures a properly redundant machine guarding package .

Integrated Devices

High Safety Ratings

We integrate these devices into the associated emergency stop circuit or a start/stop button contactor depending on age of machine thru the PowerControls enclosure. If a jog or setup mode circuit or zone-specific terminations are required, we can provide additional review for possible upgrade options to current scope of work

Machine Assessments

High Safety Ratings

Machine Assessments

A high category level machine guard does not ensure the proper performance levels of your machine controls.

We can provide third-party circuit analysis to determine if safety rated contactors, relays, or valves are required to be installed on your machine(s) to bring the performance level of your machine controls and functionality up to a PLd or PLe.
