Machine Guard Fencing
Machine guard fencing, a type of machine enclosure, is comprised of panels that create a physical barrier between the machine's operator and the dangerous areas on a machine. Machine guard fencing is made with steel panel frames and screen door panels that are typically constructed from metal or wire mesh.
Machine guard fencing can be used in multiple applications, including in robotic cells, machine presses, conveyor applications, and more. Although most often made from wire mesh, these panels can also be made from acrylic, polycarbonate, alucobond, aluminum, and stainless steel.
The use of machine guard fencing provides many advantages, such as flexible connections, clean design, custom designs, cost effectiveness, and simplified layout. Accessories that are typically required for the assembly of machine guard fencing include door locks and handles, ball latches, interlock safety switches, seal and cover strips, leveling pads, and floor mounting brackets.
