Machine Guarding Solutions

Machine Guarding solutions focus on hazards in and around the manufacturing process that may cause injury to workers from entry into hazardous areas, weld flash, flying debris, and general guarding off of machine from personnel.

We are committed to providing innovative solutions to potential hazards around operating machinery and robots. Providing a physical barrier that allows access, full time protection, and can be activated thousands of times a day requires committed engineering and constant communication with customers to identify their needs.

Frommelt Safety has developed various solutions to customers application needs over the years. These products have gone through an in depth 5 phase engineering process prior to being introduced to the marketplace.

Frommelt Machine Guarding products comply with ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 Robot Safety Standards and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Z434-03 Industrial Robots and Robot Systems General Safety Requirements.

FlashFold Vertical Rising Safety System
The FlashFold is ideal for robotic cells where cross-flash conditions exist. The vertical rising curtain allows for overhead crane access while protecting personnel from weld flash, flying debris and entry into dangerous work areas.




Slide-Air Pneumatic Safety Curtain
The Slide-Air is perfect for robotic cells or welding areas where fork truck access is required. The speed is adjustable by controlling the volume of air to the cylinder or through a pressure control valve. The pleated curtain design minimizes storage space and enhances overall appearance.

Verti-Guard Versatile Safety Guard
The Vert-Guard is ideal for single or double robotic cells, part assembly, and conveyor openings. The vertical rising system allows for overhead crane loading and provides safety to the operator from weld flash and flying debris. The low profile design helps prevent back injuries with minimal reach-in required to load parts. And, the simple pneumatic operation helps increase produtivity.
