Machine Guarding Systems
We design machine guarding systems to protect operators, access points and hazard zones in industrial plants.
Where the physical safety of a machine begins
Machine guards designed in accordance with technical standards and plant requirements
Perimeter machine guards are the first point of contact between the operator and the machine. Panels, doors, automatic guards, enclosures and access points regulate entry to hazard zones and define the protection level of the plant.
Since 2007 we have been designing and manufacturing machine guards for machinery. Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, polycarbonate: every project is dimensioned to real operating conditions, with a technical approach that combines robustness, accessibility, plant integration and production continuity.
For many clients, safeguarding is the first step into the Accessafe world.
Then the rest follows: safety engineering, monitoring software, ongoing maintenance. The physical guard is the starting point of a broader system, built to manage machine safety over time.
Safety distances, openings and dimensions are not improvised
EN ISO 14120 and EN ISO 13857 govern openings, heights, access points and dimensions
An effective industrial guard is not chosen solely on the basis of material or size. It must be designed according to the safety distance from the hazard, the mesh opening, the height of hazard zones and the access points. This is how protection, accessibility and production continuity remain consistent within the same plant.
Access points, doors and closures are part of the system
The quality of safeguarding is also measured in day-to-day use
Pedestrian doors, vehicle access points, automatic guards, enclosures and closure systems are not secondary elements. They must be designed together with the rest of the system, according to operational flows, operating modes and the required safety levels. It is in the execution details that a guard remains genuinely effective and easy to use over time.
Complex applications require a bespoke design
Robotics, automated lines and special layouts call for dedicated criteria
In robotic cells and complex applications, the guard is not a standard barrier. It must be designed on the basis of the risk assessment and applicable requirements, including specific standards such as EN ISO 10218-2 where the context demands it. This is where safeguarding truly becomes a design project, built around the specific case and consistent with the evolution of the machine.
Product lines and safeguarding applications
Systems designed for different industrial contexts, sharing a common logic of protection and accessibility
The internal pages can remain as they were in the initial release. However, the landing page should present them within a
common framework that is more readable and better aligned with the Accessafe brand positioning.

The value of a designed safeguarding solution
What makes an industrial protection solution more robust
The value of our offering lies not only in the breadth of the product range, but in the ability to translate standards, design and execution details into a safety measure consistent with the machine.
Standards applied to design
EN ISO 14120, EN ISO 13857 and application-specific standards guide design choices, safety distances and configurations.
Access points and dimensions tailored to your needs
Openings, heights, passageways, closures and dimensions are not added as an afterthought: they are part of your customised safety solution.
Different materials and configurations
Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, polycarbonate, enclosures and special guards to adapt the solution to your industrial context.
Guards are just the beginning
For many clients, a safeguarding project is the first step into a broader relationship built on engineering, monitoring and continuity over time.

Safeguarding - FAQ
Which perimeter machine guards are best suited to our plant?
This depends on the type of machine, the area layout, the access points, the level of operator interaction and the real operating conditions. We design perimeter machine guards and machine safety fencing starting from the context of use, so as to ensure protection, accessibility, plant integration and production continuity.
Do you produce bespoke machine guards or only standard solutions?
We work both ways. We can start from standard configurations or develop bespoke machine guards when the plant requires specific adaptations, particular geometries, dedicated access points or integration with existing components.
How do you integrate doors, access points and automatic guards into machine protection?
We do not regard the guard as an isolated element. We design panels, doors, enclosures, access points and automatic guards as parts of a single safeguarding system, coordinated with the functioning of the machine and with the operational requirements of those who use it every day.
Do perimeter guards also help with the regulatory compliance of the machine?
Yes, but on their own they do not cover the full scope of compliance. Perimeter guards are one of the key elements of machine safety, but they must be incorporated into a coherent design that also takes into account risk assessment, access points, safety logic and the actual use of the plant.
