What is Perimeter Machine Guarding?

Perimeter Machine Guarding is another phrase for modular guarding, which is a barrier or fencing that typically surrounds automated machinery. Perimeter guarding is to protect both the machinery itself and employees, especially for preventing injury. Additional attachments such as light curtains and safety relays may add for extra protection. Additionally, weld screen can control arc flashes or high exposure of UV light inside the cell. It’s easy for us to swap the standard wire mesh for stainless steel or Lexan instead. The difference between perimeter guarding and modular guarding is that modular signifies that it can be configurable. Modular design allows us to meet the customer’s needs. Both effectively and efficiently modular guarding can have redesign in-shop or on the worksite. ARK Automation provides top quality modular guarding for a great price, and ship it in a reaonalble time.
