Industrial Guarding
Industrial Guarding for Industrial Manufacturing Automation
The industrial environment is full of hazards for workers. Hydraulic presses, high-speed robots, cutting processes, etc. can be potentially deadly hazards if not properly safeguarded. There are a number of different industrial safety devices that can be used to reduce the risk of robotic injury depending on the application and environment. Most of the time these industrial safety devices are used to stop or pause a process while the operator is in a dangerous work area.
If your operation relies heavily on industrial automation, then guarding and safety precautions must be a priority. When working with industrial robots, gantries, robotic arms, or other automation components, safety is a paramount concern.
At Cross Company Automation, we can work with you to devise the right safety precautions for your industrial automation equipment. From industrial guarding to safety mats to e-stop buttons, we have the equipment your operation needs to protect its most valuable assets: your employees.
Benefits of Safety Fencing in Automated Industrial Settings
Enhanced Safety
Safety fencing provides a robust barrier that prevents accidental contact with dangerous machinery and equipment, ensuring a safer workplace for all employees.
Compliance with Regulations
Implementing safety fencing helps meet industry safety standards and regulations, avoiding potential fines and legal issues.
Flexibility and Customization
Modern safety fencing systems can be customized to fit various industrial layouts and requirements, offering flexible solutions for different safety needs.
Durable Construction
Made from high-quality materials, safety fencing is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, providing long-lasting protection.
Visibility and Monitoring
Safety fencing can be integrated with visibility panels and monitoring systems, allowing for continuous observation of automated processes without compromising safety.
Reduced Downtime
By preventing accidents and ensuring safe operation, safety fencing helps minimize downtime and maintain productivity in industrial settings.
Comprehensive Industrial Safety Guarding Systems
In addition to safety fencing, several critical components are essential for creating a comprehensive industrial guarding system. These elements enhance safety by controlling access, ensuring smooth operation, and providing additional layers of protection. Integrating these components into your industrial safety guard system helps prevent accidents, protect workers, and maintain productivity.
Safety gates control entry to hazardous areas, while interlock switches ensure machines stop when gates are opened. In addition, some systems require physical protection for a more collaborative process, such as guard rails and barriers, or safety mats that detect the presence of personnel, triggering machine stoppage. Cross Company offers products from an industry leading number of suppliers, so regardless of the application requirement we can enure you have a comprehensive guarding system for your automated process. That means you can improve efficiency while maintaining safety, all with one partner, Cross.
