Guarding literature
January 1st 2004 New literature is available free of charge from Procter Machinery Guarding on its guarding solutions.
For both new and upgrade projects, a Procter design engineer will visit the customer to discuss safety, production and maintenance requirements to recommend the most appropriate guarding solution. A detailed fixed-price quotation is prepared, clearly showing the cost breakdown for the hardware and installation.
If required, guards can be pre-fitted with interlocks and light guards, and Procter can also supply associated equipment, such as pressure sensitive safety mats.
For perimeter guarding, Procter offers sturdy steel-framed guards with welded wire mesh infill. These can also be manufactured from stainless steel and polycarbonate.
Sheet metal guards are often specified for applications where swarf and/or coolant are present. Such guards can have viewing windows, sliding or hinged doors and removable panels to provide visibility and access for operation and maintenance.
The company also offers acoustic enclosures and temporary guard panels. More articles from Procter Bros Ltd: |
