What is a machine guarding gate?

A machine guarding gate is a controlled access point within a machine guarding system that allows entry to hazardous areas for maintenance, repairs, or inspections. It often features:

• Safety Interlocks – Shuts down machinery when the gate is opened.
• Durable Construction – Made from materials like steel or wire mesh for protection.
• Controlled Access – Ensures only authorized personnel can enter.

It provides a balance between worker safety and operational access while complying with safety standards like OSHA and ISO.
