ARK Automation Products Limited
ARK Automation supplies modular machine guarding systems for a wide range of industrial safety applications. Our guarding products can be used around machinery, robotic cells, conveyors, workstations, access points, production equipment, and custom automation layouts.
Modular guarding is often used when facilities need a flexible physical barrier that can be configured around existing equipment, adjusted for future layout changes, and combined with safety products such as light curtains, safety relays, or programmable safety controllers.
The examples below show common ways modular guarding can be used in industrial and manufacturing environments.
Enclosures with roof panels can be used when a guarded area requires additional coverage above the machine, process, or workspace. These applications may be useful for equipment that needs a more enclosed guarding layout, added separation, or additional protection from overhead access.
ARK Automation can supply modular guarding panels, posts, brackets, and custom configurations to help create guarded enclosures that fit the equipment and available floor space.
Machine opening guarding is used to help protect access points, machine openings, loading areas, and other areas where operators or maintenance teams may interact with equipment. These applications need to balance safety, visibility, and practical access.
Depending on the layout, machine opening guarding may include hinge gates, slide gates, vertical gates, removable panels, or integrated safety products. ARK Automation can help supply guarding components that support the required access points while maintaining a clean and flexible layout.
Table top guarding is commonly used for smaller machines, workstations, testing areas, assembly areas, or compact production setups where localized protection is needed. These applications may not require a full perimeter guarding system, but still benefit from a physical barrier around the work area.
ARK Automation offers custom panels, adjustable panels, and other modular guarding components that can be configured for smaller or more specialized applications.
Not every guarding project fits into a standard layout. Modular guarding can be adapted for many types of machinery, production cells, access points, and facility layouts. ARK Automation can supply standard and custom components for applications such as robotic cells, conveyor protection, packaging equipment, hydraulic presses, CNC routers, assembly cells, injection molding machines, and general machinery guarding.
Available guarding components include panels, adjustable panels, custom panels, posts, brackets, hinge panels, bi-fold gates, slide gates, and other access solutions.
When planning a modular guarding application, it is helpful to consider the equipment being guarded, available floor space, required access points, operator workflow, visibility, maintenance access, gate locations, and future layout changes.
Depending on the application, facilities may also need to consider whether additional machine safety products are required, such as light curtains, safety relays, programmable safety controllers, emergency stops, or interlocked access points.

Learn more about modular guarding applications, custom guarding layouts, machine opening guards, table top guarding, and what information is helpful when planning a guarding project.
Modular machine guarding is commonly used around robotic cells, conveyors, machinery, assembly cells, packaging equipment, hydraulic presses, CNC routers, production work areas, and controlled access points.
Machine opening guarding is used around access points, loading areas, machine openings, or other areas where workers may interact with equipment. It helps create a physical barrier while still allowing planned access where needed.
Table top guarding is a smaller guarding setup used for compact machines, workstations, assembly areas, testing areas, or localized production areas where full perimeter guarding may not be required.
Yes. Modular guarding can be configured with standard and custom panels, posts, brackets, gates, hinge panels, slide gates, and other components to fit many different equipment layouts and facility requirements.
Helpful information includes equipment dimensions, guarding area dimensions, photos, layout drawings, access requirements, maintenance needs, gate locations, panel preferences, and any known safety or risk assessment requirements.
