Our aluminum T-slot framing system is purpose-built for robot cell integration — fast to install, easy to reconfigure, and engineered to every OSHA and ANSI/RIA R15.06 requirement.
Every guard is dimensioned to the robot's maximum reach envelope per ANSI/RIA R15.06 — ensuring no risk of contact through undersized panels or gaps.
Access gates are configured with tongue-and-groove safety interlock switches wired to the robot controller's safety circuit, stopping robot motion on door open.
All systems are designed to comply with OSHA machine guarding standards for point-of-operation and perimeter protection in automated environments.
Choose impact-rated polycarbonate panels for full visibility into the cell, welded wire mesh for ventilation and cost efficiency, or a combination of both.
Bolt-together aluminum framing means future robot upgrades or layout changes are accommodated without replacing the entire guarding system.
Non-standard cell footprints, angled corners, elevated platforms, and ceiling height constraints all accommodated through custom-cut framing and panel sizing.
Every robotic cell guarding system from Modular Solutions combines robust structural performance with integration-ready safety features.
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant 80/20-compatible T-slot extrusions provide rigid panel support while eliminating welding and simplifying field assembly.
Conveyor in-feed and out-feed openings engineered with correct safety distances per ISO 13857 — no light curtain gaps or reach-over risks.
Emergency stop button mounts integrated into gate posts and fence panels at ergonomic heights for immediate operator access on all four sides of the cell.
Standard heights from 1500mm to 2400mm. Taller configurations for high-reach robots or overhead gantry systems available on request.
Available in Standard or Black Elite finish — both provide a clean, durable appearance for production floor environments.
Concrete anchor, epoxy anchor, and adjustable base foot options for level floors, raised platforms, and facilities requiring non-permanent installation.
Robotic cell guarding from Modular Solutions is deployed across the full spectrum of industrial automation industries.
Representative system parameters — all specifications are custom-engineered to your robot model and facility.
ANSI/RIA R15.06 specifies minimum guarding heights based on the robot's maximum reach envelope and the safety distance to the barrier. For most floor-mounted industrial robots, a minimum height of 1800mm (72 inches) is required, with 2100mm or 2400mm common for high-reach 6-axis robots. Modular Solutions calculates each guard height from the specific robot model's reach data.
Safety gate interlock switches are wired to the robot controller's dedicated safety I/O in a dual-channel configuration. When the gate opens, both channels simultaneously open the safety circuit, triggering a category 0 or category 1 stop per the robot's safety function. Modular Solutions provides wiring schematics for integration with FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Universal Robots, and other major controllers.
Yes. ISO 10218-2 and ANSI/RIA R15.06 both require a risk assessment for robotic systems. The guard design is the primary hazard control measure resulting from that assessment. Modular Solutions designs guards to satisfy the risk reduction requirements identified in the assessment, and can provide engineering documentation to support the risk assessment record.
Yes. Conveyor in-feed and out-feed openings are engineered to ISO 13857 safety distance tables — the opening height and width are sized so that no person can reach through or under the opening to contact the robot's hazard zone. Light curtains or tunnel guards are added where ISO 13857 distances alone cannot satisfy the safety requirement.
A standard single-robot cell guard typically installs in one shift (8–12 hours) by two technicians. Complex multi-face guards with conveyor integrations and multiple gates may require 2–3 days. Modular Solutions provides installation drawings and a pre-cut kit so no on-site fabrication is required — all panels and profiles arrive cut to length.
