Safety in Manufacturing

We are backed by high-quality manufacturers of safety products, with whom we have built long-term partnerships based on customer satisfaction. Their products meet the highest safety criteria and standards and reliably protect employees and production efficiency. Their wide range includes safety products suitable for both standard manufacturing environments and those with explosion hazards, vibrations, or extreme temperatures.

Comprehensive Mechanical Safety Solutions in Manufacturing

Workplace health and safety is an absolute priority in modern industrial environments. While optical safety systems are common, mechanical safety elements and protective barriers remain essential for preventing accidents, protecting infrastructure, and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted production.

Active Mechanical Elements: Safety Mats and Bumpers

Mechanical safety devices provide a reliable, immediate response to physical presence or contact on the factory floor:

Safety Mats: These pressure-sensitive mats detect a worker’s presence in a specific area. They can safely halt machinery if a person enters a danger zone, or signal the control system that the area is clear to operate. They serve as a highly reliable, cost-effective alternative to expensive laser scanners and can even be used as ergonomic machine controls. Future trends point toward smart mats with wireless connectivity and AI integration to optimize workspace movement.
Safety Bumpers: Typically installed on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), robotic arms, and industrial doors, safety bumpers detect physical contact and immediately signal the control system to stop movement. Unlike standard safety edges, bumpers can handle higher impact forces and absorb kinetic energy, minimizing damage to both personnel and equipment.

Passive Protection: Safety Barriers and Fencing

Beyond active elements, physically restricting access to hazardous zones is crucial. Protective fencing ensures a clearly defined workspace, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and unplanned downtime.

Modular Solutions: Modern systems, such as MayTec aluminum profile fences, offer high impact resistance, an elegant anodized design, and complete flexibility. Their modular nature allows for quick assembly, disassembly, or modification as manufacturing processes evolve. They can be tailored for anything from small individual workstations to massive automated production lines.
Regulatory Compliance: Proper protective fencing is designed to meet strict safety standards, such as EN ISO 13857 (safe distances to prevent reaching hazard zones with upper and lower limbs), as well as specific C-type machinery safety standards.

Conclusion

By combining active mechanical elements - like safety mats and bumpers-with modular protective fencing, companies can create a robust and comprehensive safety infrastructure. These highly adaptable solutions guarantee regulatory compliance, protect employees, and maintain efficient, safe manufacturing processes.
