Advanced Machine Guarding Solutions for Safety and Efficiency
Klassen Custom Fabricating designs and builds machine guarding systems that prioritize both safety and functionality. Our machine guards protect workers while allowing easy access for operation and maintenance. We serve companies in Windsor, Ontario and across North America with custom machine guarding solutions.
What Makes Our Machine Guarding Better
Improved Lift and Turn Door Systems
Klassen’s machine guarding features lift and turn door systems that outperform standard designs. These systems offer:
- Simple operation that reduces training time
- Reliable performance with fewer moving parts
- Lower maintenance costs over the life of the guard
- Elimination of expensive component replacements
- Smooth operation even after years of use
These doors allow workers to access machines quickly when needed while maintaining safety during operation.
Large Door Openings for Better Access
We design our guards with large door openings whenever possible. This feature provides:
- Easier access for operators working with the machine
- Improved visibility of the work area
- Better access for maintenance personnel
- Reduced downtime during service procedures
- Easier parts replacement and machine adjustments
The increased accessibility makes both operation and maintenance tasks more efficient without reducing safety.
Our Machine Guarding Solutions
Custom-Designed Guards
We create custom machine guards that fit your specific equipment and safety needs. Our team works with you to design guards that:
♦ Match the exact dimensions of your machinery
♦ Address specific hazards present in your operation
♦ Meet or exceed all safety regulations
♦ Allow for proper operation of the equipment
♦ Accommodate maintenance requirements
Each guard is designed with both safety and practicality in mind.
Perimeter Guarding Systems
Our perimeter guarding systems protect larger areas around equipment or production lines. These systems include:
♦ Modular barrier panels that can be configured to your layout
♦ Access doors positioned for optimal workflow
♦ Strong mounting systems that keep barriers stable
♦ Options for different visibility requirements
♦ Compatibility with safety switches and interlocks
Point-of-Operation Guards
We design point-of-operation guards that protect workers at the most dangerous parts of machines. These guards:
♦ Block access to hazardous moving parts
♦ Allow for proper material feed and product removal
♦ Maintain visibility of the work process
♦ Adjust to different material sizes when needed
♦ Include safety switches when appropriate
Materials and Construction
We build our machine guards using quality materials selected for your specific application:
♦ Steel mesh panels for visibility and ventilation
♦ Solid metal panels where visibility is not needed
♦ Clear polycarbonate panels for full visibility
♦ Combination designs that optimize both visibility and protection
All guards are built with:
♦ Strong welded construction for durability
♦ Smooth edges for worker safety
♦ Powder coat or paint finishes for longevity
♦ Proper grounding when electrical safety is a concern
