Aluminum Extrusion: Hard Guarding

September 15, 2016byPepper Hastings1

The customer needed a way to guard a machine yet still have access and visibility for that machine. This six-piece, color coded hard guard made from Parker IPS aluminum extrusion does the job. It keeps unwanted arms and hands from pinch points yet offers access areas so operators can still made adjustments to the machine.

Innovative-IDM’s Bryan Rinehart explains some of the features. The guard was cut and assembled from sticks of aluminum at our Dallas location. Innovative-IDM is an authorized cut and design shop for Parker IPS aluminum extrusion.
