Conveyor line with modular safety fence panels

Applications

Conveyor guarding

Low and full-height barriers along conveyors and transfer systems, and guarded openings where conveyors enter automated cells.

Conveyor Guarding

Guard the length of the line and every transfer point.

Conveyors create nip points at rollers, transfers and drives, and they carry material into and out of automated cells. Modular fence panels guard long runs without site fabrication, while tunnel guards or protective devices cover the points where a conveyor passes through a fence. Every opening is checked so a reaching arm cannot get to a hazard.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do you guard a conveyor entering a robot cell?

With a tunnel guard long enough that a reaching arm cannot get to the hazard, or with a light curtain and muting at the opening, sized with ISO 13857 or ISO 13855.

Which OSHA rules apply to conveyors?

General machine guarding under 29 CFR 1910.212 applies to conveyor hazards such as nip points, and mechanical power-transmission parts fall under 1910.219.

Can conveyor guarding be changed later?

Yes. Modular panels in many widths can be moved or extended when the line changes, without cutting or welding.
