Complete Robot Cell Guarding Systems
Automation cells often require multiple safety components working together to separate operators from robots and moving equipment. JTM manufactures custom robot cell guards and machine guarding designed to integrate with your machinery, workflow and facility layout.
Common safety components include:
- Robot cell fencing
- Safety light curtains and laser safety curtains
- Industrial robot access doors and auto doors
- E-stop safety switches
- Custom machine guarding built to your specifications
JTM can manufacture individual guarding components or provide multiple components for a complete automation cell guarding system.
Safety Light Curtains
Safety light curtains protect areas where physical guarding is not practical. Monitored barriers stop equipment if the beam is interrupted, helping protect operators while allowing parts to move in and out of the work area.
Safety light curtains are commonly used in:
- Operator loading and unloading zones
- Material transfer openings
- Automated part handling areas
- Access points within machine and robot cells
JTM can help design safety light curtain guarding to fit your automation layout or build systems based on your existing specifications.
Robot Cell Fencing
Robot cell fencing creates a physical barrier between operators and industrial robots or other automated machinery. JTM manufactures custom robot safety fencing and machine safety fences around the footprint and access requirements of your equipment.
Fencing systems can incorporate wire machine guards, safety panels, access points and other guarding components while maintaining visibility into the workcell. JTM manufactures robot cell fencing to your application and specifications.
Industrial Robot Access Doors
Automation cells still require controlled access for operators and maintenance teams. JTM designs and builds industrial robot access doors to integrate with enclosed machinery and robot cells. Auto doors are commonly used in machining centers where robots move parts between machines, such as CNC systems with pick-and-place automation. Robot access doors can be configured for different machine layouts, including:
- Front operator access doors
- Side maintenance and robot access doors
- Top-mounted doors for vertical machine access
- Tunnel doors for automated part transfer
Doors can be incorporated into a larger robot cell guarding system and designed around the access requirements of your equipment.
Custom Machine Guarding Solutions
Every automation system has different equipment, hazards, access requirements and facility constraints. JTM manufactures custom machine guards, machine guarding panels and safety panels to fit those specific requirements.
We can support projects at any stage:
- New robotic and automation cells
- Existing industrial machinery
- Industrial robot systems
- Machine loading and unloading areas
