Hygienic and Corrosion-Resistant Machine Guard Design Considerations
Machine guards in food processing, washdown areas and corrosive industrial environments must do more than prevent access to hazardous movement. They also need to support cleaning, resist environmental attack and…
Designing Modular Guarding in AGV Operating Environments
Designing modular guarding in an AGV operating environment requires more than placing fencing around automated equipment. The layout must control access to hazardous machinery while allowing automated guided vehicles, pallets,…
Designing Modular Guarding Around Conveyors and Transfer Openings
Designing modular guarding around conveyors and transfer openings starts with the hazard, not the available panel size. Conveyor systems often need openings for product flow, pallet movement, loading, discharge, inspection…
Material Selection for Washdown and Corrosive Machine Guarding
Machine guarding in washdown, food-processing and corrosive environments must do more than prevent access to hazardous movement. It also needs to resist corrosion, support effective cleaning and avoid creating areas…
How to Design a Modular Machine Guarding Layout
A modular machine guarding layout should be designed around the machine hazards, required safety distances and access tasks, not around the available panel sizes. Modular panels, posts and access gates…
Fixed Guards vs Interlocked Guards: How to Choose the Right Machine Guarding
Choosing between fixed guards vs interlocked guards should start with one question: does the hazardous area need to be accessed during normal operation, cleaning, setup or maintenance? If access is…
