Engineered-to-order machine guarding for unusual equipment configurations, legacy machines without OEM guarding, multi-machine cells, and applications where standard guard templates do not fit. Modular Solutions works from your equipment drawings and facility layout to design guards that support OSHA 1910.212 compliance and fit your exact installation.

Not every machine fits a standard guard template. Legacy equipment, imported machines, special-purpose cells, and multi-robot configurations all present unique guarding challenges that require engineering from the ground up.
Our engineering team works directly with your equipment drawings, machine models, and facility photos to develop a guard design tailored to the exact hazard profile and physical constraints of your application.
Many older machines lack original guarding or have guards that no longer meet current OSHA standards. We engineer retrofit guards that mount to the machine frame or the floor around it without machine modifications.
Multi-machine and multi-robot cells require shared perimeter guarding with independent interlocked zones for each machine or robot. We design cell guards where each zone is accessible without compromising the overall cell perimeter.
Non-standard machine footprints, irregular operating envelopes, and equipment with multiple hazard zones on all sides require guards that are designed around the machine — not forced to fit a standard panel system.
Interlock wiring coordination with machine control systems — safety relays, PLC safety I/O, and e-stop circuits — is included in custom guard engineering. We provide interlock specifications and can coordinate directly with your controls team.
Modular aluminum framing is bolted — not welded. When equipment is upgraded, relocated, or replaced, the guard can be modified or repurposed rather than scrapped, protecting your investment over the full facility lifetime.
Custom machine guards from Modular Solutions are supported by full engineering services from concept through installation documentation.
We work from CAD files, machine drawings, photos, and field measurements. No existing documentation? We can conduct a site assessment to gather the data needed for accurate guard design.
Guard geometry is developed in 3D and reviewed with you before fabrication begins — confirming fit around the machine, access door locations, interlock positions, and service clearances.
Every custom guard ships with a complete documentation package: CAD files, bill of materials, assembly drawings, and interlock wiring specifications for your maintenance and safety files.
Complex cell guards can be designed and built in phases — guarding priority hazard zones first, then expanding as schedule and budget allow, without redesigning the overall system.
Urgent OSHA compliance situations or pre-audit deadlines can be accommodated with expedited engineering. Contact us to discuss your timeline and we will structure the project accordingly.
On-site engineering support is available for complex installations, interlock wiring commissioning, and facilities where guard geometry must be verified against the machine in place.
Custom machine guards from Modular Solutions are specified when standard guarding solutions cannot address the specific equipment, operation, or facility constraint.
Representative system parameters — all specifications are fully custom-engineered to your specific equipment and application.
We start with a conversation about your equipment, operation, and compliance requirements. From there we collect drawings, machine models, and facility photos and develop a guard design for your review. Once approved, we fabricate and deliver with full documentation including CAD files and a bill of materials.
Yes. Legacy machines, special-purpose machines, and imported equipment often lack original guarding or have guards that no longer meet current OSHA standards. Modular Solutions engineers guards from scratch for these applications using the machine's mechanical drawings and field measurements as the starting point.
Engineering lead time depends on complexity. Simple single-machine guards can be designed in days; complex multi-machine cell guards with interlock coordination may take 2-4 weeks. We provide a lead time estimate after initial scoping. Rush engineering is available for urgent compliance situations.
Yes — modular aluminum framing is intentionally reconfigurable. Guards are built from bolted components that can be modified, extended, or repurposed when equipment is upgraded, relocated, or replaced. This protects your investment against machine changes over the facility's life.
Modular Solutions provides fully assembled and documented guard systems designed for straightforward on-site installation by your maintenance team. On-site support is also available for complex installations or where interlock wiring coordination requires hands-on assistance.
