Machine Guards
Machine Guards isolate workers from the moving parts of industrial machines and from collision hazards along equipment paths. The category includes fixed guards, interlocked guards, safety light curtains, safety mats, and industrial perimeter barriers. Selection follows the hazard proximity, access frequency, and whether the guard must open for maintenance or stay closed during operation.

About this category
Machine guards prevent incidents before they occur by eliminating human-hazard contact. Fixed guards install around moving parts and do not open during operation — used where maintenance access requires a full shutdown. Movable guards carry an openable gate with an interlock that signals the hazardous motion to stop when the gate opens, or keeps the gate locked until motion has stopped where guard locking is fitted. Safety mats detect a person standing in the hazard zone and signal the safety control system to stop or prevent hazardous motion. Light curtains create an invisible infrared beam grid, and breaking a beam signals the hazardous motion to stop, so the curtain must be mounted at a safety distance that accounts for machine stopping time (ISO 13855) — used where frequent access rules out physical guards. Mesh machine guarding is a wire-mesh steel frame that encloses a machine while preserving visibility. Industrial perimeter barriers enclose robotic and automated cells to restrict entry to the hazard zone, often with interlocked access gates. Safety interlocks prevent machine activation until every guard is confirmed in the safe position. Specifications follow OSHA 1910.212, EN ISO 13857, and ANSI B11.19.
