Twin-table CNC guarding in Salisbury, NC using 3D radar to reduce entanglement hazards.

Router guarding in Salisbury, NC with radar presence sensing to reduce sharp edge hazards.

Bandsaw guarding in New Philadelphia, OH with polycarbonate panels to reduce debris hazards.

Bandsaw guarding in Irvine, CA using safety laser scanner to reduce nip hazards.

Vertical guarding system in Irvine, CA with counterbalanced door to reduce pinch hazards.

Roll forming machine guarding system in Lexington, KY designed to protect operators from pinch point and entanglement hazards. Built with hood-style access doors featuring non-contact RFID safety switches and integrated safety light curtains. The system ties into an emergency stop circuit with manual reset at machine controls to ensure controlled access and safe operation during forming and adjustment processes.

Roll forming machine safety guarding system in Green Bay, WI featuring sliding access doors with trapped key safety switches for controlled entry. Built with integrated Keyence 45" safety light curtains and external rail-mounted installation, the system ties into an emergency stop circuit with manual reset at machine controls. Includes emergency rope pull systems along forming and sizing sections to help reduce pinch point and entanglement hazards during operation and adjustment.

This before photo shows a metal stamping press operating without complete machine guarding and risk reduction measures in Chicago, IL. During the machine safety assessment, PowerSafe Automation identified hazards including exposed pinch points at the ram and tooling area, rotating flywheels and belt systems, exposed electrical components, and unrestricted access to moving machine parts. To reduce risk in accordance with OSHA 1910.212 and ANSI B11 standards, engineered safeguarding solutions including interlocked machine guarding, perimeter protection, safer operator access zones, and electrical enclosure upgrades were recommended to improve worker safety and reduce operational liability.

This before photo shows an automated conveyor and transfer system operating without complete machine guarding and risk reduction measures in Shelbyville, IN. PowerSafe Automation identified exposed chains, sprockets, rollers, rotating drive components, transfer pinch points, and unrestricted access to moving machinery that increased the risk of entanglement and crushing injuries. Recommended ANSI B11 safeguarding improvements included perimeter guarding, interlocked access doors, conveyor protection, secured electrical enclosures, and safer operator access zones to improve safety and operational reliability.

This before photo shows a beverage conveyor and packaging line operating without complete machine guarding and risk reduction measures in Toledo, OH. The machine safety assessment identified exposed chains, belts, rollers, and transfer pinch points that created entanglement and contact hazards for operators. Additional concerns included exposed pneumatic and electrical components near moving machinery. Recommended safeguarding improvements included conveyor guarding, interlocked access doors, safer operator access zones, and improved electrical and pneumatic protection in accordance with OSHA 1910.212 and ANSI B11 standards.

This before photo shows a hydraulic broaching press operating without complete machine guarding and risk reduction measures in Lafayette, IN. PowerSafe Automation identified hazards including exposed ram and tooling areas, crush hazards at the point of operation, unrestricted access to moving components, hydraulic exposure risks, and exposed electrical wiring. Recommended ANSI B11 safeguarding improvements included interlocked perimeter guarding, safer operator access zones, secured electrical enclosures, hydraulic protection measures, and enhanced warning signage to improve operator safety and reduce liability exposure.
