Access guarding, barrier guards, industrial safety fencing, or robotic work cells (OSHA R15.06) providing a multi-side physical barrier between workers and production lines. This guarding layout is designed with proper heights, sweeps, and OSHA opening distance black wire mesh, hi-vis yellow posts, operator or PIT access doors, and required handles, hinges, and other accessories such as cable trays and cut kits for field mods, as well as proper attachment for walking surfaces, 1910.212(b). Presence sensing devices like safety laser scanners and 3d safety radars for meeting robot safety standards can be added for additional safety measures in open areas or blind spots.
The Axelent brand perimeter guarding offers several features and benefits to assist with design and installations. These include:
- Captive fasteners with unique key-to-release access
- Universal panels easily converted to swing doors with hinges and handles
- Door handles designed with ready-to-adapt handles for safety switches
- Cut kits for quick field-fit modifications to ensure a proper fit
This guarding with hi-vis posts and black mesh panels is expandable to sliding doors without headers for tight spaces and PITs for material handling, cable management, solid panels for welding applications, and tooling boards.
Impact protection such as bollards, floor barriers, and impact barriers are easily added to the project adding an additional measure to prevent damage to the machine guarding. This product is an engineered polymer for extended life expectancy.
