BARRIERS...ALWAYS ON GUARD!
The best means of protection from automated equipment does not have to be an expensive hi-tech item. There are simple yet effective ways to protect employees from the dangers of automated equipment. Physical Barriers from Wire Crafters provide an excellent alternative. Our barriers are a reliable, versatile, and economical answer to personnel safety.
RELIABILITY
The Physical Barrier is always on duty, unaffected by power outages or electrical
problems. Once erected, our barrier restricts access to the work cell and
prevents employees from casually wandering into an area where they may be
injured by automated equipment. The physical barrier also provides a visual
barrier, alerting workers to the existence of automated and potentially hazardous
equipment. Physical Barriers will not interrupt robotic operations through
mischievous or inadvertent contact, as may happen with light curtains or switchmats.
Finally, the barrier doubles as a potential safety net by helping to contain
objects thrown or ejected by a malfunctioning robot.
VERSATILE
Twenty standard size panels are used to build your exact enclosure. The modular
panels mount to posts set on maximum 10'-2" centers. The panels can be
mounted in many configurations and with our adjustable mounting kit, odd angle
configurations are possible. A typical barrier uses a five-foot-high panel
mounted one foot above floor level on a six-foot-high post. This makes a barrier
tall enough to keep employees out, while leaving a generous sweep space for
the clean-up crew. Taller barriers may be built by stacking panels and changing
post height.
ECONOMICAL
Wire Crafters Physical Barriers install quickly with standard hand tools.
All hardware is easily accessible to the installer from inside the work cell.
The posts mount to your plant floor with 1/2" wedge anchors. Future layout
changes may be accomplished with little or no waste. The system's modular
panels may be relocated and used again as your system grows. Enclose your
automated equipment with a Physical Barrier from Wire Crafters. Call us at
