Three Attributes of RapidGuard®️️ II Machine Guarding that Makes Your Facility Safer
At WireCrafters, we’re always thinking about how we can create the next best innovation to keep your people safer and your business more productive. For us those two factors go hand-in-hand. Part of optimizing your productivity is focusing on the protection of your most valuable asset: your employees.
Ensuring that your facility is equipped with top-notch machine guarding solutions is a crucial step toward creating a secure work environment. We’ve developed the innovative RapidGuard® II machine guarding system, which is designed to address key safety concerns while offering several unique advantages.
1. Using Machine Guarding to Protect Your Employees from Hazardous Materials
One of the primary functions of any machine guarding system is to shield employees from potential hazards associated with machinery and materials. RapidGuard® II from WireCrafters goes above and beyond in this regard, providing robust protection against hazardous materials.
The wire mesh design of RapidGuard® II ensures visibility and breathability while maintaining a secure barrier. These panels are made of 10 GA welded wire mesh and patterned in a 1-1/4″ SQ (center to center). The mesh is then welded into a 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ 13 gauge roll formed angle with our Patent Pending T-Slots for ease of installation to the posts.
This allows employees to monitor operations without compromising their safety. Whether it’s protecting against flying debris, sparks, or other potentially harmful elements, WireCrafters’ machine guard products excel in creating a safer work environment.
2. RapidGuard® II Saves Space in Your Facility
Efficient space utilization is a key concern for many industrial facilities. Traditional machine guarding solutions can sometimes contribute to space constraints, limiting the overall efficiency of the workspace. RapidGuard® II, however, stands out by offering a space-saving design without compromising safety. While industry standard machine guarding requires almost 3 feet of space between the machine and the guarding, RapidGuard® II merely requires 4.7 inches of space. That 2+ feet of space can be a significant difference-maker for your facility.
The wire mesh construction allows for a compact yet robust barrier, making it an ideal choice for facilities where space optimization is crucial. This attribute not only enhances the overall functionality of your workspace but also ensures that safety measures don’t come at the cost of valuable floor space.
3. WireCrafters Ensures Employees Can Access the Right Areas
Machine guarding is not just about restricting access; it’s also about ensuring that authorized personnel can easily and safely access the areas in which they work. RapidGuard® II excels in this aspect by providing customizable options that cater to your specific access requirements. With our IDEM and Fortress Interlock solutions, we ensure that machines are only functional when properly activated by a member of your team.
We also have various configurations available, including hinged and sliding doors. This allows you to tailor the guarding system to your facility’s unique layout, ensuring that employees have convenient access to the machinery and areas they need while maintaining the necessary safety measures. The flexibility of WireCrafters’ machine guarding products makes us a practical choice for diverse industrial settings.
The RapidGuard® II machine guarding system from WireCrafters offers a comprehensive solution to enhance safety in your facility. By protecting employees from hazardous materials, saving valuable space, and ensuring controlled access to designated areas, this innovative system sets the ultimate standard in the realm of machine guarding safety. When it comes to safeguarding your workforce and optimizing your industrial space, WireCrafters’ RapidGuard® II stands out as a reliable and efficient choice in the world of machine guarding.
