Machine Guards & Covers

Point-of-operation guards, pinch-point covers, shields and chute liners built to the dimensions and mounting you specify, from a drawing or the damaged original.

Applications › Replacement & Legacy Parts

Guards get hit, cracked and lost, and the replacement from the OEM is slow or gone. We build guards and covers as components to your specification: clear polycarbonate windows where visibility matters, printed or machined plastic where it does not, with the mounting holes and brackets your machine has. Machine-level safety compliance stays with the machine builder or owner; we build the component to the requirements you set.

Typical examples

  • Point-of-operation and pinch-point guards
  • Clear polycarbonate windows and shields
  • Chute liners, hoppers and deflectors
  • Debris and splash covers
  • Replacement guards reproduced from a damaged original
