Assembly Automation Safety Challenges

Assembly automation systems often combine high-speed automated motion with close human interaction. This creates unique hazards including pinch points, unexpected machine starts, and collision risks.

Proper safety guarding protects operators while supporting OSHA compliance, minimizing downtime, and preserving access for changeovers, maintenance, and manual tasks.

We design modular, custom guarding that integrates seamlessly with existing assembly lines, conveyors, presses, and robotic cells.
