Machine guarding for automated, moving and high-risk equipment.

Modular guarding systems for robot cells, CNC machinery, conveyors, packaging lines, palletisers, welding cells and general industrial automation environments.
Where Guarding Is Used

Protect people from moving machinery, automation and hazardous processes.

Machine guarding is used wherever personnel need to be physically separated from hazardous motion, automated equipment, sharp tooling, pinch points, crush zones, ejected material or restricted operating areas.

Our modular systems are suited to both new installations and retrofit projects, with layouts configured around the machine, access requirements, maintenance routines and available floor space.
Common Applications

Modular guarding for a wide range of industrial machinery.

The same core system can be adapted across different machinery types by changing panel runs, post positions, access doors, infill types and hardware selections.
Robot Cells
Perimeter guarding for welding robots, pick-and-place robots, palletising robots and automated handling cells:

• Fixed perimeter guarding
• Interlocked access doors
• Maintenance entry points
CNC Machinery
Guarding for machining centres, lathes, routers and other equipment with cutting, rotating or automated motion hazards.

• Operator separation
• Tooling and chip containment zones
• Service access planning
Conveyors
Guarding around powered conveyors, transfer points, sortation systems and material handling lines.

• Pinch point reduction
• Restricted access areas
• Access gates for cleaning
Packaging Lines
Machine guarding for filling, wrapping, labelling, carton forming, sealing and end-of-line packaging equipment.

• Modular panel runs
• Hinged access sections
• Clear viewing zones
Palletising Systems
Guarding for palletisers, depalletisers, stretch wrappers and automated pallet handling areas.

• Full cell enclosure
• Forklift interface zones
• Controlled pallet access
Welding & Fabrication
Guarding and separation for welding cells, fabrication equipment, presses and production workstations.

• Personnel separation
• Process zone control
• Custom access layouts
Retrofit or New Build

Guarding layouts built around real site constraints.

Most projects are constrained by floor space, production flow, maintenance access, forklift movement, existing services and operator routines. A modular system allows layouts to be adapted without overcomplicating the installation.
New machinery
Plan guarding at the same time as machine procurement, commissioning and safety system design.
Retrofit projects
Upgrade existing machinery areas with physical guarding, doors and controlled access points.
High-change areas
Use modular panels and posts where layouts may need to change as equipment or processes evolve.
Multi-zone systems
Separate production zones, maintenance areas, robot cells and operator access pathways.
