Machine Guarding

Not every factory or plant is the same, from different products and procedures to even the building layout and industry requirements. A plastic injection molding company will not have the same floor layout and needs as a metal welding and design company. So don't assume that all machine guards have to be the exact same. Sure, OSHA has specific requirements, but there are other aspects that can be customized to your factory to fit your needs and ensure a safe work environment.

The ability to sketch out a factory's needs is essential, including elements such as the locks, height, and layout. If your machinery is near a wall, in a corner, or even in the middle of a room, WireCrafters has the ability to work with various configurations to fit your needs.

Custom Cut-Outs

Conveyors are a basic cog in your machine and it's vital to keep that machine running smoothly. However, you also need to keep your personnel safe and stick to the OSHA guidelines - how can you combine all of that into a safe and efficient work environment? Answer: custom cut-outs. Your machine guard can have a hole cut out in the location you need to allow for your conveyor and products to easily move through.
