Successful machine guarding can be a complex issue with a need not only to comply with the regulations but also to maintain the capability of the machine to perform its intended task. It may be necessary for a combination of machine guard types to be used together to effect the ideal solution. For example; fixed fencing is frequently used in conjunction with safety light curtain systems to provide safe working areas where access is also required; by adding safety interlock switches / safety mats / safe edges and sensors at strategic parts of the machine you may also be able to enhance the usability of the complete guarding system.
