Mechanical equipment upgrade
Guards, protections and mechanical safety interventions on machinery
Every mechanical modification
changes exposure
In existing industrial machinery, modification, revamping or upgrade interventions may require the upgrade of safety guards and mechanical safety elements. Guards, enclosures and access systems must be consistent with the actual operating conditions of the machine and correctly integrate with the existing safety devices. The service enables targeted interventions on safety guards and structures, ensuring operational continuity and consistency with the technical solutions defined.
When is it needed
The service is indicated when:
- Guards and mechanical protections on existing machines need to be upgraded;
- Work is being carried out on systems subject to revamping or functional modifications;
- New guards need to be integrated with existing safety systems;
- Mechanical interventions are required, carried out safely and in accordance with best practice.
How the assessment is carried out
The activity comprises structured mechanical interventions, including:
- Manufacture and installation of safety guards: constructive design and manufacture of fixed and movable guards on the machine, perimeter guards in steel, stainless steel or aluminium, soundproofed cabins and laser guards, consistent with the plant's operating conditions.
- Installation of access systems and safety enclosures: installation of motorised horizontal or vertical sliding or roller-shutter doors, with motorised or pneumatic actuation, integrated with the machine's safety systems.
- Specialist mechanical installations: mechanical installations carried out by specialist fitting teams, with integration of guards in the existing systems and coordination with electrical and automation activities.
What we deliver
- Mechanical guards and protections installed and integrated on the machinery;
- Access and safety enclosure systems functioning correctly;
- Mechanical interventions carried out in accordance with best practice and consistent with the technical design;
- CE declaration of the product as a safety component.
